President Donald Trump has made it his mission to single-handedly reverse basically every accomplishment of the Biden administration. That’s especially true when it comes to the former president’s climate agenda. Trump doesn’t want to just deemphasize the fight against climate change, his policy proposals would give climate change a helping hand. But states are stepping into the void left by the federal government. Longtime climate reporter Bill McKibben tells us how. And in headlines: Elon Musk came out swinging hard against Republicans’ Big Beautiful Bill, Gazans saw another day of violence near an aid distribution site, and Education Secretary Linda McMahon faced a grilling in the Senate.

  • Trump's attempts to single handedly reverse basically every accomplishment of the Biden administration have been widespread from immigration to LGBTQ rights.

  • But it seems to me that a lot of the Trump administration's focus has been on overturning Biden's accomplishments on climate change in the environment.
