At the risk of making this boring, the entire point of administrative law is to prevent agencies like the EPA from just making shit up like this. Unfortunately, the safeguards for accomplishing this were primarily norms-based and at best reactive.

He just flipped a district that Trump won by 17 points and that hasn’t sent a Democrat to the legislature in 36 years.
Despite Trump’s personal endorsement and sustained push for Leigh Wambsganss, Republicans LOST!!

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.
A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."
