Imagine taking a voice vote with everyone's mics muted and no option to unmute.

That's what Trump did in his attempt to illegally slap his name on yet another public building.

Let's see if the Senate acknowledges reality.

Here's a thing we at @EPWCmte are doing: In New Strategy, Whitehouse Files CRA Challenges To Trump EPA Air Rules | https://t.co/pC3KkW5cJA https://t.co/GkWRtw0XRU

[Senate EPW Democrats @EPWCmte]

Trump’s EPA is dismantling the office charged with holding polluters accountable.

Today, a chamber that once filled me with wonderment made me feel disgust.

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse]

Why don’t you put your (dark) money where your mouth is, @SenTedCruz?

Support my DISCLOSE Act.

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse]

A lawyer like Emil Bove shouldn’t be able to dodge congressional oversight by claiming certain privileges. And yet…

Senate Republicans are considering a dangerous plan to overrule the Parliamentarian & gut California’s clean air waivers.

@SenWhitehouse, @SenAlexPadilla, & @SenAdamSchiff are on the Senate floor warning of the consequences if Republicans go nuclear. https://t.co/dJaNcMr9M4

[Senate EPW Democrats @EPWCmte]

Some Republicans want to overrule the Parliamentarians & gut California’s Clean Air Act waivers.

They’re trying to claim this is a narrow exception, but make no mistake, they plan to go nuclear. Put bluntly: there is no cabining a decision to overrule the Parliamentarians.

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse]

Trump and Musk’s misinformation don’t come without a motive.

Senate Republicans are contemplating "a dramatic break from Senate precedent with profound institutional consequences."--Dems warn Thune on California waiver "nuclear option" https://t.co/v6XqOaZnl5

President Trump would have us believe that all immigrants are criminals. For the true story, please listen to this moving report about whom the Trump administration is actually deporting. https://t.co/hIuOLNee6o

[Bill Dauster @Bill_Dauster]

I'm gratified that the Parliamentarian held that the Senate will continue to rely on GAO determinations about whether agency actions qualify for fast-track disapproval under the Congressional Review Act. This is a victory for California's clean air standards and Senate procedure.

[Senate EPW Democrats @EPWCmte]

Today, the Senate parliamentarian reaffirmed that CA's vehicle emissions standards are not subject to the Congressional Review Act—a win for anyone who values clean air and affordable cars.

I joined @SenBooker during his historic speech to ask a few questions. First, at hour 17, how are you holding up?

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Yes. We have a major constitutional crisis.

Americans did not fight and die to protect democracy so that the richest man in the world could single-handedly dismantle agencies that protect workers, consumers & children.

Together, we can and will defeat Trump’s authoritarianism.
