Hey, @democrats.org @housedemocrats.bsky.social - THIS IS A PRIORITY.
We cannot - CANNOT! - have a SCOTUS packed with Trump picks. Our country will not survive him plus this.

That's one reason among many that we need term limits for U.S. Supreme Court justices. Under the most popular proposal, justices would serve for 18 years before transitioning to senior status. Importantly, this means each president would get two -- and only two -- SCOTUS noms.

Please explain to me how the remote possibility of "saving" $1300 once, in exchange for LESS fuel efficiency - spending MORE on gas - and making more pollution is a positive initiative?

Trump says new fuel economy rules will cut car prices. Analysts are doubtful.
In rolling back fuel efficiency standards, the administration said the average new vehicle price in 2031 should be reduced by $1,300.
