Newsom suspends landmark environmental laws to speed up wildfire prevention efforts
https://news.yahoo.com/news/newsom-suspends-landmark-environmental-laws-050044723.html

The governor's office said the legal moves would fast-track vegetation and tree removal as well as the creation of fuel breaks and allow for quicker approval for more and bigger planned fires for forest management.

In a statement, Newsom said the suspended regulations were part of his work in "cutting red tape and making historic investments."

"We need to protect our communities most vulnerable to wildfire," he said.
This guy helps create the problems and then takes credit for solving them.

Nationwide, 85.2% of counties voted for Trump. And comparing how each county voted from the 2020 election to 2024, the median vote margin in the country shifted to the right 3.2 percentage points. Key here is that Trump built on his 2020 performance — even in counties he lost — while Vice President Kamala Harris struggled to match President Joe Biden’s 2020 numbers, underperforming in 3 of every 4 counties.

Harris economics plan
A Harvard economist who worked in President Obama's administration ripped Vice President Kamala Harris' price control plan to curb inflation as not based in "reality."
"This is not sensible policy, and I think the biggest hope is that it ends up being a lot of rhetoric and no reality," Jason Furman told The New York Times in a report published Friday. "There’s no upside here, and there is some downside."

"It‘s not going to be markets, it‘s not going to be supply and demand that’s determining how much your grocery store charges you for milk or for eggs, it‘s going to be some bureaucrat in D.C., which seems like totally unworkable," Catherine Rampell said on CNN on Friday.

Trump added twice as much to the national debt as Biden: Analysis
https://news.yahoo.com/news/trump-added-twice-much-national-151200361.html
Those additions were mostly due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), changes to the Affordable Care Act, and different budgetary acts in 2018 and 2019.
Most of Biden’s non-pandemic-related additions were due to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, student debt relief, appropriations bills and other executive actions.
The two parties add to the debt in different ways, with Republicans doing it mostly through bipartisan legislation and Democrats doing it more through executive actions, the CRFB says in a preview of future work.

Seventy-seven percent of the Trump administration’s additions to the national debt were attributable to bipartisan legislation, while 23 percent came from bills and actions with little to no bipartisan support.

For the Biden administration, 29 percent of additional debt has come from bipartisan laws, while 71 percent came from unilateral decisions.
