Ask yourself: would you hire Trump? Would you let him coach your daughter’s soccer team? If not, demand better. Press your representatives to push for accountability. We can’t afford another two years of this. Take his keys. Vote out anyone who won’t.

After decades of calculated deception about climate change, Big Oil wants the Supreme Court to block local communities from suing for damages. Meanwhile, Washington refuses to regulate emissions. If the feds won't act and states can't sue, who pays the bill?
