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?

After an attempt on his life, the ballroom project gets republished in borrowed words as a security perimeter
Trump posted 34 times on Monday, and the afternoon belonged to a single subject: the planned White House ballroom. In roughly one minute he republished a wall of screenshots — commentators, House members, senators — all arguing the ballroom should be built immediately, several recasting it as a security measure after the recent attempt on his life at the Correspondents' Dinner. Around that sat a swipe at Van Jones over criminal justice reform, a flat denial that he had ever phoned ABC's Jonathan Karl to check on him, a triumphant update on the Navy escort mission near Iran, and a jab at Jerome Powell. There was no anger spiral; the sharpest moment came first thing in the morning and the day cooled into republished praise. He also hosted more than a hundred small business owners at the White House and posted nothing about it.
