But Doug Burgum, #Trump’s #Interior secy, later posted that Hochul had signaled a “willingness to move forward on critical pipeline capacity.”
The Constitution #pipeline was designed to transport #gas >100 miles from northeast #Pennsylvania toward #Albany. The lesser-known & shorter Northeast Supply Enhancement project would run largely underwater, from #NewJersey toward #NYC.
Aww hell no
A #pipeline company is reviving plans to build TWO #NaturalGas pipelines into #NewYork, in a bet that the #Trump admin will be able to strong-arm #states into signing off on #energy projects.
#NY had blocked both pipelines over #environmental concerns. But Trump has made clear that he wants more #oil & #gas infrastructure, including in the Northeast, where pipelines had become so hard to build that companies had all but given up on them.

Barber shops in Massachusetts are no longer required to have a red-and-white barber pole.
All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses the conditions of his life. (Marx and Engels, talking about haircuts I think)
#Trump #BigBeautifulBill is cutting funds to programs that all working class and retired people benefit from, especially to #MedicAid. Also giving big #corporations additional #tax breaks, #deregulation of barriers that reduce #corruption in #finance, #crypto and #health. All while using #immigrants as #scapegoats.
This is what #capitalism always reverts to. A new #GuildedAge.
The #WorkingClass #Proletariat need #Solidarity, #Socialism, a real #democracy.

It KILLS a safeguard preventing for-profit from scamming students +fed govt. For-profit colleges: no longer be req to get 10% of their $ from non-gov sources.

This in-depth report in the Wall Street Journal describes the catastrophic legacy of gold #mining in Northwestern #Canada. A US company created huge amounts of arsenic waste that pollutes the surface and could enter the world’s tenth-largest #freshwater body. Then the company went bankrupt and left the mess to the Canadians. The elders of the Yellowknives Dene First Nation, the indigenous people of the area, call Giant Mine ‘Nahga’, the monster.

“R lawmakers have proposed eliminating the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) & transferring its functions to the SEC. This #deregulation threatens crucial safeguards established after the Enron & WorldCom scandals...”
Let’s make sure Trump doesn’t make it through the year. He must be forced to resign or be impeached.

"Modern civilisation has a number of extremely delicate and highly interconnected components whose graceful degradation is effectively impossible."
It is "much easier to break things than to build them up. The government administrations of Britain, France and Germany for example, were set up at a time in the nineteenth century when the rising middle classes demanded a properly functioning state[…]. It took perhaps a generation for professional, neutral public services to fully emerge."
"Forty years of globalised neoliberalism have broken our societies, our economies and our political systems, and we no longer have the ability to put them back together."
…On March 12, the new #EPA unveiled what it called "the most consequential day of #deregulation in US history" by rolling back 31 initiatives & eliminating the agency's #DEI arm & its 10 regional #EnvironmentalJustice offices, which worked w/communities to ID & mitigate local sources of #pollution. It *said* it has saved $2B in *wasteful* [because some people have no worth] spending by canceling hundreds of #grants in conjunction w/ #billionaire #ElonMusk's #DOGE.
Asked to comment on the findings of this story, an #EPA spox directed Reuters to a video stmnt by #Trump's new #EPA administrator, #LeeZeldin, who has outlined a strategy emphasizing #deregulation, saying the US can protect the #environment & promote economic growth at the same time [note the absence of concern for #PublicHealth & populations in #LowIncome communities].
If American history won't repeat itself, Trump will try to force it to, a repetition of the Gilded Age, when excessively rich people ripped their workers off, child labor was fashionable, and milk was unsafe everywhere.

The Hill neglects to point out that Lee Zeldin is lying.
Zeldin says he can 'absolutely' assure public EPA deregulation efforts won’t harm environment

@lauren @lauren That is what they want. Since every public service will be privatized, work and workplaces will be unregulated.

"The new administration is in the process of implementing substantial policy changes in four distinct areas #trade, #immigration, fiscal policy & regulation [#deregulation]," #FederalReserve chair #JeromePowell said.
"Our monetary policy stance is well positioned to deal with the risks & uncertainties we face as we gain a better understanding of the policy changes & their likely [adverse] effects on the #economy. It is not our role to comment on those policies."
Loi sur la simplification: «On prépare le terrain au trumpisme»
Sous couvert de faciliter la vie des #entreprises, le projet de loi de #simplification discuté à l’Assemblée nationale prône la #dérégulation et l’affaiblissement de la démocratie locale. Avec des conséquences écologiques et sociales certaines, dénoncent les députés de gauche.
