The unsigned, unexplained administrative stay to revive ICE jackboot tactics.
I dont care if it's the procedural norm for administrative stays- it's normatively fucked.

The Senate voted Thursday to overturn a rule that required oil companies to pay a fine for emitting methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that has significantly contributed to #ClimateChange.
Already approved by the House, the bill is expected to receive President Trump's signature.

Hey Blue Dot, Don Bacon voted to block the release of the Gaetz ethics report
The House voted 204-198 to block release of the Gaetz ethics report. All Dems present voted to release, along with Republican Tom McClintock of CA. Every other Republican present voted to keep Gaetz's violations covered up.
Again, Gaetz is accused of sex trafficking and statutory rape.
