It still annoys me that no news outlet notes that Biden uses vast amounts of fossil fuels in a constant manner to travel, especially his very low MPG limo, despite him putting restrictions on We The People
Biden highway climate rule struck down by Texas judge: ‘Unauthorized’
A U.S. judge ruled against the Biden administration in a decision about a highway climate rule on Wednesday.
The rule was issued by the Department of Transportation (DOT)’s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in December 2023. It requires states to measure and report the greenhouse gas emissions from any vehicles using the U.S. highway system.
The rule also asked states to establish declining carbon dioxide targets, and to report back about progress on those goals. Texas sued the DOT in response.
U.S. District Judge James Wesley Hendrix, a Trump appointee, ruled in favor of Texas and wrote on Wednesday that “the rule was unauthorized.”
While issuing the rule three months ago, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said that it “will provide states with a clear and consistent framework to track carbon pollution and the flexibility to set their own climate targets.”
In a December statement, the office of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton argued that the DOT “does not have the statutory authority to institute such a rule, and the mandate violates the Administrative Procedure Act.”
“Further, the rule is arbitrary and capricious and violates the Spending Clause by impermissibly restricting the use of federal funds by requiring TxDOT to implement the greenhouse gas measure.”
And for all those suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome who typically vote Republican, and those Independents who are Never Trump, just remember, despite the ruling the Biden regime will attempt this again, especially if he wins in 2024. They won’t give up. You may despise Trump personally, but, he won’t try and muck with your life.
Mind-blowing polling shows that "elites" would happily make working people's lives much worse in service of their anti-science climate cult beliefs.

I must once again refer you to Rule #1 of 21st Century American Politics, which is utterly ironclad and states that whatever “it” is, for any and all possible values of “it,” it’s OK when a Democrat does it.
This is what happens when you allow an entire class of people who, despite holding buckets of credentials, are in fact very, very stupid to insulate themselves from the consequences of their own stupidity.
They’re just begging for a Marie Antoinette moment.
Would Mr Teach be so kind to source the bar graph from the excitable Tom Nelson? Thanks.
