#Environmental #Groups Vow to #Stop #Trump’s #EPA From #Revoking the #Endangerment Finding
As #global #heating #accelerates, the nation’s #environmental #watchdog is trying to #muzzle its own ability to act
Mr. Mamdani, a democratic socialist who ran on an #affordability agenda,
pledged during the campaign to freeze rent on the city’s nearly one million rent-stabilized apartments.
“We know we are fighting for a #rent #freeze, but that is not the extent of our efforts,”
Mr. Mamdani said. “We will also stand up for tenants, build #new #housing and get New Yorkers into housing faster.”
Mamdani also signed an executive order #revoking all orders issued by former Mayor #Eric #Adams after his indictment in September 2024 on federal corruption charges.
He signed another to create the structure of his new administration with five #deputy #mayors.
Mr. Mamdani said that he revoked the orders that Mr. Adams’ issued after his indictment,
which was later dismissed at the request of the Trump administration,
because that was when Mr. Adams lost the public’s trust.
Two executive orders that Mr. Mamdani revoked allowed federal immigration officials to investigate criminal activity at the #Rikers #Island #jail complex
and created an office focused on #blockchain technology, a passion of Mr. Adams who often talked about #cryptocurrency.

President Donald Trump’s administration has proposed revoking a scientific finding that's long been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change. The proposed Environmental Protection Agency rule rescinds a 2009 declaration that determined carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases endanger public health. The “endangerment finding” is the legal underpinning of a host of climate regulations under the Clean Air Act for motor vehicles, power plants and other pollution sources. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced the proposed rule change on a podcast ahead of an official announcement set for Tuesday in Indiana. Three former EPA leaders say Zeldin's proposal would endanger the lives of millions of Americans.
Splits at the top of the Labour Party emerged today as chief whip Nick Brown defied Jeremy Corbyn to say that he wants to stay in the EU. In an email to one of his constituents he disclosed that he is personally in favour of halting Brexit by revoking Article 50 if the only other option is no deal.
