In a 51 to 44 vote, the Senate overturned a Biden-era waiver that enabled California and a contingent of Democrat-led states to enforce zero-emission requirements for the sale of new passenger vehicles.

Things have been nonstop since the wildfires, so I haven’t had much time to post at length about the wildfire recovery efforts. But make no mistake, there are some ham-handed attempts to conceal public information. Those attempts won’t succeed. I’ll have more to say later.
