The Endangered Species Act helps the economy

from the article: “Tinkering with the Endangered Species Act isn’t a political winner with polls showing most Americans broadly supporting the law, along with other environmental protections. But Democrats argue that their Republican counterparts have bet that reforming the popular law are ok with that so long as they reward the interest groups that helped put the current Republicans in office in the first place.”

Trump approval sags in 3 Midwest states; Democrats lead there in generic congressional poll

from the article below: “…with November’s midterm elections less than four months away, Democrats enjoy a lead in congressional preference from 8 points to 12 points in these three states.
In Michigan, 45 percent of voters prefer a Democratic-controlled Congress, while 36 percent want a GOP-controlled Congress (D+9).

In Minnesota, it’s 48 percent preferring the Democrats, to 36 percent backing the Republicans (D+12).
And in Wisconsin, Democrats hold a 47 percent-to-39 percent lead in congressional preference (D+8).”

Hopefully, Trump’s supporters/enablers in Congress will be punished.
