BREAKINGâLEE ZELDIN: âEPA is initiating 31 historic actions to Power the Great American Comeback in the greatest day of deregulation in American history! Our actions will unleash energy dominance, lower costs for Americans, strengthen the U.S. auto industry, and protect our environment.â
Video transcript
Today, I am pleased to make the largest deregulatory announcement in U.S. history. The Environmental Protection Agency is initiating 31 historic actions to fulfill President Trump's promise to unleash American energy, revitalize our auto industry, restore the rule of law, and give power back to the states. EPA will be reconsidering many suffocating rules that restrict nearly every sector of our economy and cost Americans trillions of dollars. Our actions include the Biden administration's deeply flawed Clean Power Plan 2.0, Mercury and Air Toxic Standards, Quad OBC, Particulate Matter 2.5, Light, Medium and Heavy Car and Truck Rules, NESHAPs, and the so-called Social Cost of Carbon. To advance cooperative federalism, EPA will partner with states that were universally rejected by the last administration's Good Neighbor Rule. Among many other actions, today's momentous day also includes the 2009 endangerment finding, along with all actions that rely on it. I've been told the endangerment finding is considered the holy grail of the climate change religion. For me, the U.S. Constitution and the laws of this nation will be strictly interpreted and followed, no exceptions. Today the green new scam ends, as the EPA does its part to usher in the golden age of American success. Our actions will lower the cost of living. By making it more affordable to purchase a car, heat your home, and operate a business. Jobs will be created, especially in the U.S. auto industry, and our nation will become stronger for it. From the campaign trail to day one and beyond, President Trump has delivered on his promise to unleash energy dominance and lower the cost of living. We at EPA will do our part to power the great American comeback.

Midnight Fury, Morning Pageantry: Nocturnal Grievance Cascade Yields to Daytime Institutional Consolidation
Trump's day split cleanly in two: a combative late-night session of personal grievances gave way to a full day of official announcements and achievement claims. The evening started with complaints about an unflattering state portrait, escalated into a vicious attack naming three New York Times journalists — including the dehumanizing "Maggot Hagerman" — and culminated after midnight with fury at a federal judge blocking deportation operations. By morning, the tone shifted sharply to presidential business: endorsements, a Venezuela tariff announcement, the appointment of personal attorney Alina Habba as a federal prosecutor, and a CDC director nomination. The most notable restraint came late in the afternoon, when a Babylon Bee satire link was the only response to the ongoing Signalgate scandal — a likely sign of staff intervention preventing something more explosive.
