The Trump administration moved to overturn the 2009 EPA endangerment finding, a cornerstone of federal climate policy first adopted under President Barack Obama. Over the generations, fossil fuels have saved millions of lives and lifted billions of people out of poverty. There will be no more climate participation trophies awarded to manufacturers for making Americans' cars die at every red light and stop sign. It's over. Done. Finished. Climate groups condemned the move. President Trump signed an executive order directing the military to purchase electricity generated from coal-fired power plants. When large parts of our country were hit with winter storms, it was coal that kept the power on. The common sense policies to keep coal plants running implemented by this administration mean that my husband and I can keep working, stay where we are, and continue raising our son in our community that we call home. Vice President J.D. Vance made a historic trip to Armenia and Azerbaijan, pushing a Washington-brokered peace agreement. Peace is not made by cautious people. Peace is not made by people who are too focused on the past. Peace is made by people who are focused on the future. While there, Vance signed a new civil nuclear energy deal with Armenia and a strategic partnership with Azerbaijan. President Trump this week said he's sending a second aircraft carrier strike group to the Middle East to prepare for military action if negotiations with Iran fail. But we have to make a deal.
