Trump administration wants to make it easier to release methane into the air

update 9/18/18

The Trump administration justifies its rollback of methane standards by saying it will be a cost-saver for industry. But what about the costs to our health, and the costs of the climate crisis? We need to put people and our planet over polluters’ profits.

Trump's approval drops looks real to me… Got a number of high quality polls that have Trump's approval rating in the 30s… If that is correct and holds, we may be looking at more like a 40+ seat gain for the Dems come November… https://t.co/RqrrPAGVsa

Trump lied when he said the GDP was higher than the unemployment rate for the first time in 100 years

You'd be shocked, shocked, shocked to learn that this tweet by @realDonaldTrump is totally false! There are many periods just since WWII that the GDP has been higher than the unemployment rate. pic.twitter.com/XAdr5HTtcY

Why does Trump insist on lying when the truth is good enough? https://t.co/yIkYEBbkkL

Not only did Obama never say this, but Obama topped 5% in one quarter, so who has the bigger magic wand? https://t.co/RALoEcQquj

A White House adviser had to correct it and he didn’t know where Trump got his number. Trump could just take credit for the facts but he has to lie about it to make is seem even bigger. He lied about Obama too. That’s pathetic.

Sad!

Lou Dobbs calls George W. Bush a liberal

This shows how extremely conservative the Trump cult is. Bush was very conservative by any objective standard.

Fox host Lou Dobbs called George W. Bush a “radical” liberal. It would be funny if it wasn’t yet another indicator of how detached Trump’s GOP is from reality. https://t.co/q2QDhYWcd0

With the 2020 census rapidly approaching, it is critical that Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and other top Census Bureau officials testify under oath about the addition of a citizenship question and why a warning about added costs and decreased census accuracy was dismissed.

Republicans want more tax cuts

This would add a lot to the deficit. Their first bill already has and is not popular because the public know it primarily helped the wealthy. Republicans only care about the deficit when Democrats want programs that would help people.

House Republicans unveil tax cuts that conservative estimates say would add $2.4 trillion over 10 years to the deficit. (Liberal estimates put it at $3.4 trillion over 10 years.)
