Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

If you get health care through your employer, your premiums are going up by an average of 26% no matter what. Why? Because insurers had to set rates under the assumption Congress won't extend the ACA tax credits, destabilizing the whole market. All thanks to Republican inaction.
