How CA Can Protect the Environment From Another Trump Admin
California is taking steps to protect its environment from potential rollbacks under the Trump administration. The state has passed several laws that limit greenhouse gas emissions and protect its natural resources. It has also joined a coalition of states that are suing the federal government over its environmental policies.
These efforts are important because the Trump administration has proposed a number of policies that would harm the environment. For example, the administration has proposed withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement, rolling back regulations on air and water pollution, and opening up more public lands to drilling and mining.
California’s efforts to protect its environment are a model for other states. By taking action at the state level, California is helping to ensure that the Trump administration’s environmental policies do not have a devastating impact on the country.

All eyes on California as House majority still hinges on tight races
With just a handful of races remaining, California’s outcome could determine which party controls the U.S. House of Representatives. Several close races are still too close to call, with both Democrats and Republicans anxiously awaiting the final results.
The outcome of these races has significant implications for the balance of power in Washington, and for the Biden administration’s agenda. If Democrats retain control of the House, they will have a narrower majority, giving Republicans more influence on legislation. A Republican majority, on the other hand, would give the GOP significant power to block the president’s legislative proposals.

加州的呼吸权遭到质疑！
本周，发生了一件大事–美国最高法院就加利福尼亚的环境法规对联邦法律的影响举行了一次听证会。
加州出台了一项颇具开创性的法律，要求汽车制造商在 2035 年之前停止销售燃气新车，以减少空气污染，改善公共健康。
但一群共和党领导的州政府正寻求推翻该法律，称其侵犯了联邦政府监管汽车排放的权力。
最高法院的裁决可能会对全国的空气质量产生重大影响。如果法院支持共和党州，加州的法律将面临危险，其他州可能难以执行类似的措施。
