Clean air is now a “burden.” Trump’s EPA announced it will reconsider smog-control requirements for parts of Texas after Gov. Greg Abbott pushed for relief. This comes as Abbott declared a diesel price “disaster” and separately requested waivers for cleaner diesel standards.

The aide calls it a “deep state” takedown, a claim JD Vance has echoed. Apparently, going after the people who investigated Trump wasn’t enough. Now we’re reaching back to the 1970s. Anything to keep us looking backward instead of at what this administration is doing right now.

The change could block eligible voters and was made without proper public notice.

Trump officially rolled back fuel efficiency standards today. The new target for 2031 is about 34.5 miles per gallon, down from 50.4. That means more gas burned, more pollution, and more money out of drivers’ pockets. So much for making things affordable.
