The Trump White House is planning to send a second rescissions request to Capitol Hill in the coming weeks, hoping to extract a legislative stamp of approval for its efforts to impound funding that was previously authorized by Congress.

 

At the Two Spirit Conference in northern Nevada in June, Native Americans gathered in support of the LGBTQ+ community amid federal and state rollbacks of transgender protections and gender-affirming health care.

 

The Trump administration wants to overturn a key 2009 Environmental Protection Agency finding that underpins much of the federal government's actions to rein in climate change.

The EPA has crafted a proposal that would undo the government's "endangerment finding," a determination that pollutants from burning fossil fuels, such as carbon dioxide and methane, can be regulated under the Clean Air Act. The finding has long served as the foundation for a host of policies and rules to address climate change. The EPA's proposal to revoke the finding is currently under review by the White House Office of Management and Budget.

I'm guessing the subcommittee are somewhat autonomous. That's my guess.

Trump's campaign really shot themselves in the foot by making Epstein one of their top issues.

Apparently, the Texas floods was part of tropical storm. I knew there was a lot of storms brewing down south (I unfortunately live in the region) but I didn't realize it was that bad and I keep track of the weather like a hawk.

I always wanted that.

Honestly, I was thinking the same thing. The GOP are really up against rock and hard place.

If I was jumping to conclusions, I would have accused them. That's why I'm asking.

You have no idea how many times I've been wrong before. Just double checking.
