This should be on the front page of every newspaper in America. Trump cut a deal with one of the most corrupt and violent gold mining companies in Venezuela, a company that the U.S. has designated a threat to our national security and one whose miners pay protection money to a local gang.

It is unclear how long the recovery can be sustained given that it relies on U.S. military protecting tankers in the Persian Gulf.

Another fossil fuel con job. Any savings on the front end get eaten up and spat out by excess costs of fuel, which go to — oh, right — Trump’s big corrupt fossil fuel donors. Fuel economy standards have saved drivers hundreds of billions of dollars. www.washingtonpost.com/transportati...

Trump says new fuel economy rules will cut car prices. Analysts are doubtful.
In rolling back fuel efficiency standards, the administration said the average new vehicle price in 2031 should be reduced by $1,300.

Today, the Trump administration finalized a rollback of fuel economy standards for passenger cars and trucks. This move effectively kills the nation's CAFE standards, a program that has saved drivers $321 billion in fuel costs since 2010. Read UCS Statement: act.ucs.org/46NApCk
“The federal government’s decision to gut fuel economy standards is a handout to automakers and oil companies that will strap American consumers already struggling with an affordability crisis...Weakening these standards means drivers will spend more on fuel while having fewer options to choose efficient vehicles."
