Atmospheric scientist here. Let me tell you what was actually "slashed" today.
Slashed: The Endangerment Finding — a 200-page scientific review upheld by the Supreme Court, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, and reaffirmed by the National Academies of Sciences in 2025.
Slashed: The legal authority to regulate carbon from cars, power plants, and factories. All of it. Gone in one afternoon.
Now here's what you're "saving":
Yesterday Trump ordered the Pentagon — the largest energy consumer on Earth — to buy coal electricity.
Coal costs $69–$169/MWh.
Wind costs $27–$53/MWh.
Solar costs $38–$78/MWh.
99% of U.S. coal plants cost more to run than replacing them with brand-new solar or wind.
That's your tax dollars buying the most expensive electricity on the market. By executive order. While the Peabody Energy CEO stood in the room.
And the human cost of what you're "saving"?
460,000 American deaths linked to coal pollution in 20 years. Coal PM2.5 is 2.1x deadlier than other air pollution. (Henneman et al., Science, 2023)
All to protect an industry that employs 44,000 people total. Clean energy employs 3.5 million.
Lee, you hack, start/stop systems were invented by Toyota in 1974 and adopted by European automakers in the 2000s. They reduce fuel consumption by 5-8% and cut idle emissions by 100%. They restart in under 400 milliseconds… faster than your foot moves from brake to gas. Your car doesn't 'die.' The engine decouples from the drivetrain via a reinforced starter motor rated for 500,000+ cycles. This isn't Obama. It's thermodynamics. An engine burning fuel at zero mph does zero useful work. That's not politics. That's the first law. You're the EPA administrator and you don't understand combustion efficiency. Terrifying.
It's been 11 days since Alex Pretti was executed in the street by two federal immigration agents and Schumer and Jeffries have landed on "You can wear your mask sometimes, as a treat."
I mean come the fuck on. we already knew he was a pedophile and a rapist. What else do we need? what else do our representatives need? WHY is he in office?
Is this not the single worst crime someone could commit?
Potentially dozens of times?
what the fuck are we DOING dude
the closer we get to the deadline the smaller the asks get. democrats are so fucking incompetent. they’re playing the appeasement game with the fascists.
Remember when planes were crashing and Sean Duffy tried to blame it on DEI....
And then Elon and the DOGE bros broke our government, stole data, and got rid of USAID resulting in the deaths of 600,000 impoverished humans...
And then Pete Hegseth disclosed military strikes in an unsecure Signal chat and started blowing up boats at sea...
And then Tulsi Gabbard held a press conference trying to implicate Obama in fake crimes and said he would be arrested...
And then Pam Bondi covered up the Epstein files, gave Ghislaine Maxwell special privileges, and started "prosecuting" all of Trump's enemies at his request via tweet...
And then Kristi Noem's armed, masked ICE agents shot and killed two innocent Americans in the street.
That escalated quickly.
He wears orange makeup, a girdle and heel lifts, had 4 hair transplants, can’t run, can’t swim, dodged the draft, has never taken his shirt off in public, can’t lift weights, never played sports with his kids, never fired a gun, loves interior decorating, never been in a fight…
