Trump plans to revoke a key California environmental power; state officials vow to fight (Paywall)
WASHINGTON — President Trump is expected Wednesday to revoke a decades-old rule that empowers California to set tougher car emissions standards than those required by the federal government — putting the state and the administration on a path to years of fighting in court.The move, which has been in the works for much of the last three years, would overturn the foundation for California’s role as an environmental leader in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving air quality. By revoking a special waiver the state has relied on for years to set its own standards, the administration will be saying that no state can impose more ambitious pollution controls than those adopted by the federal government.

Is Donnie the Chicxulub comet (asteroid?)
reincarnated and now in slow mo?
Devoid of cognition, that outer space visitor
had a Donnie-like orangy
glow
as it dashed through the atmosphere
and crashed in the sea down in Old
Mexico.
As Donnie, our ship-of-state
gondolier,
steers straight into peril-filled shoals,
we, like the dinosaurs, quickly could disappear,
which is, I guess, how it goes.
Life on this planet was fine. (While it lasted.)
I wish Donnie's followers well.
They will enjoy his hotel in
hell.
