So here, Mr. President, catch this.

Before the Supreme Court will be the question of what limits exist in Clean Air Act Section 3

The hinge issue can really succinctly be stated as follows.

Does EPA have the authority to determine the emissions rate based on what's achievable by what EPA thinks is the best system of emissions reduction?

Period.

And it makes your head swim to try and parse through the various clauses and instructions that are contained there.

I have been terrified of death my whole life.

I still am so afraid.

And because I've been so afraid, I haven't been able to live fully.

I haven't been able to love with my heart open yet.

From The New York Times, this is The Interview.

I'm Lulu Garcia Navarro.

Since the founding of our democracy, there's been a separation of powers.

The Senate, in particular, was created to act as a stabilizing force with its own important responsibilities.

But after almost a year of the second Trump presidency, during which time he's pursued an aggressive agenda, the Senate is arguably weaker than ever, with some critics and senators saying it is abandoning its role in checking presidential power.

So today I'm having a different kind of conversation than we usually do on the show.

A roundtable about the state of the Senate with three lawmakers who all decided to leave it.

Jeff Flake, a Republican, represented Arizona and left office in 2019, warning that the influence of Trumpism on the GOP would be corrosive to his party.

Joe Manchin represented West Virginia, first as a Democrat who frequently voted with Republicans and later as a registered Independent.

He left the Senate at the start of this year.
