The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced Tuesday it would "reconsider" air-quality regulations amid Texas's diesel price "disaster." The review comes after Abbott declared a statewide disaster over diesel prices Monday, allowing him to lift other restrictions on commercial transportation.

What a --------.

'Texas's diesel price "disaster." '

He makes it sound like it was a tornado or some other act of God.

No, Governor. Stand up and take a bow. This is all you, all GOP, and all Trump.

Trump's war on America is going to have repercussions we haven't begun to experience yet.

Everything republicans have done will get worse after the midterms.

As they planned.
