A photo taken inside a large building entrance/portico undergoing renovation, showing tall classical stone columns with ornate capitals surrounded by extensive multi-level metal scaffolding with mesh platforms. Several workers wearing hard hats (white and green) and work clothes are standing on different scaffold levels, some appearing to be painting or working on the columns. The floor is covered with protective drop cloths, and construction materials are visible including orange industrial fans, white and red paint buckets, a rolled-up paper/protective covering, a black trash bin, and coiled hoses/cables. Through the open doorway/glass at the center back, another light-colored classical stone building and green trees are visible outside, along with stone steps leading down on the left side of the frame.

A line chart on a white background titled "U.S. Natural Gas Production Hits Record High". A light-blue line runs from about 70 in 2010 up to about 137 in mid-2026, with a dip around 2020-2021. Dark diamond markers on the line show the months a new record was set. A callout points to the final diamond: "new record high July 2026, 137 Bcf/d". A second callout explains the diamonds. A gold circular seal with an eagle and the numbers "45|47" sits in each top corner. The chart asserts that US natural gas output has risen steadily and reached an all-time high in July 2026.

A digitally created/AI-generated graphic. At the top is a white banner with the bold black word "DronePort". Below it is an official-looking White House seal (oval logo with an illustration of the White House building, text "THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON") in the upper left corner, overlaid on a nighttime aerial image of a flat rooftop resembling the White House roof. The rooftop, marked with painted circular landing pads, holds numerous military-style fixed-wing drones/aircraft arranged in a symmetrical pattern, each surrounded by red and blue emergency-style lights. Uniformed soldiers in camouflage stand at intervals around the drones on the rooftop. In the background is the Washington Monument obelisk, several American flags, city buildings, and multiple bursts of colorful fireworks (red, blue, white) lighting up the dusk/night sky.

When climate change is flooding our streets, poisoning our air, driving up health care and disaster costs, how can the EPA justify abandoning that duty to protect Americans to appease polluters under the false flag of economic growth? Following the law, section 202 of the Clean Air Act, where does this say anything about fighting global climate change? Loperbrite, Supreme Court case, you're familiar with it? No, maybe others are. I'm not, but let me ask-- But that's really important, as a member of Congress, Loperbrite says that we, as an agency, don't have the authority to get creative. If section 202 of the Clean Air Act-- No, but you don't have-- excuse me. You do not have the right to say climate change does not exist, that it's a hoax, and that's where this administration is coming from. I understand you're upset that you don't know what Loperbrite is. Do you know what the major policies doctrine is? I'm upset because-- Do you know what the major policies doctrine is? You're a member of Congress. You should know. You have moved from someone who defended the environment to all of a sudden-- You're very defensive about not knowing the two biggest landmark Supreme Court cases of the last year-- And you are very-- --with regards to your question. --you are very defensive about changing your policy and your positions with regard to the environment. Now, do just tell-- Do you want me to tell you what the two biggest Supreme Court cases are of the last few years? This is what I want you to tell me. Michigan versus EPA. Whoa. West Virginia versus EPA. You're here because you need money from us. So halt for the second. And wait for the questions. And answer the question. Well, I answered your question. And you didn't like my answer because you don't know what Loperbrite is. Because you don't know what the major policies doctrine is. Because you're asking me-- you're asking about Section 202 of the Clean Air Act. And you don't read it. You don't know what it says. Listen, and what you want to do is to deny-- No, I actually read the law. I do my homework. Really? You're just somebody who likes to have the microphone on. You know what I have to do? I read the law. I read the Supreme Court cases. And I would say that-- No, we should do it for your constituents is actually read statute. My budget is at real risk. Read your Supreme Court. This is the Appropriations Committee. Oh, you're-- you're going to-- You care about science. Now you're threatening to defund it. Oh my god. No, you don't fund science. Because you don't know what Loperbrite is. Because you don't know what the major policies doctrine is. Your message to our folks at the EPA is that you wanted to fund us. I don't have to listen to this BS. The BS? You think I made up these cases? Yeah, I think you have made up a whole lot of these cases. I made up Loperbrite. I made up West Virginia versus EPA. I made up Michigan versus EPA. Woe is right. What are you doing? Why are you helping polluters?

A bar chart infographic titled "Our Pool is Bigger than Skyscrapers," comparing the length of the Lincoln Reflecting Pool (depicted as a long rectangular swimming pool with the Lincoln Memorial illustrated at its top end) to the heights of three skyscrapers: the Willis (Sears) Tower, the Empire State Building, and One World Trade Center. Each bar has a labeled height in feet and is plotted against a y-axis marked in 500 ft increments from 0 to 2,000 ft. The Lincoln Reflecting Pool bar is by far the tallest.

Good morning director if you'll let me quickly summarize your opening statement this morning You said in volume one on the issue of conspiracy the special counsel Determined that the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign Conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities and then in volume two For reasons that you explained the special counsel did not make a determination On whether there was an obstruction of justice crime committed by the president. Is that fair? Yes, sir All right now in explaining the special counsel did not make what you called a traditional prosecution or declination decision The report on the bottom of page two of volume two reads as follows The evidence we obtained about the president's actions and intent presents difficult issues that prevent us from Conclusively determining that no criminal conduct occurred accordingly while this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime It also does not exonerate him the special counsel's job. Nowhere does it say that you were to conclusively determine Donald Trump's innocence Or that the special counsel report should determine whether or not to exonerate him. It's not in any of the documents It's not in your appointment order. It's not in the special counsel regulations. It's not in the OLC opinions It's not in the Justice Manual and it's not in the principles of federal prosecution Nowhere do those words appear together because respectfully respectfully director It was not the special counsel's job to conclusively determine Donald Trump's innocence or to exonerate him Because the bedrock principle of our justice system is a presumption of innocence It exists for everyone. Everyone is entitled to it including sitting presidents and because there is a presumption of innocence prosecutors never ever Need to conclusively determine it now director the special counsel applied This inverted burden of proof that I can't find and you said doesn't exist anywhere in the department policies and you used it to write a report and the very first line of Your report the very first line of your report says and you as you read this morning It authorizes a special counsel to provide the attorney general with a confidential report Explaining the prosecution or declination decisions reached by the special counsel. That's the very first word of your report, right? That's correct Here's the problem director. The special counsel didn't do that on Volume 2 with respect to potential of obstruction of justice the special counsel made neither a prosecution Decision or a declination decision. You made no decision You told us this morning and in your report that you made no determination. So respectfully director You didn't follow the special counsel regulations. It clearly says Write a confidential report about decisions reached nowhere in here Does it say write a report about decisions that weren't reached you wrote 180 pages? 180 pages about decisions that weren't reached about potential crimes that weren't charged or decided and respectfully Respectfully by doing that you managed to violate every principle and the most sacred of traditions about prosecutors not offering extra prosecutorial analysis about potential crimes that aren't charged so Americans need to know this as they listen to the Democrats and socialists on the other side of the aisle as they do dramatic readings from This report that volume two of this report was not authorized Under the law to be written It was written to a legal standard that does not exist at the Justice Department and it was written in violation of every DOJ principle About extra prosecutorial commentary. I agree with the chairman this morning when he said Donald Trump is not above the law He's not but he damn sure shouldn't be below the law
