Yesterday I learned:
"[Massachusetts] Gov. Maura Healey sued the Trump administration 96 times when she served as attorney general during his first term in office, and she won in 77% of those cases, according to The Boston Globe."
The day before, November 6, Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell said "her office is 'ready to act' against potential threats from Trump’s administration." She said she was "clear-eyed that President-elect Trump has told us exactly what he intends to do as President, and that we need to believe him and to be ready for the challenges ahead."

"We’ve already seen how disastrous a Trump presidency can be for our country and our planet, and we know that his plans this time around are even worse.

During Donald Trump’s first term, he did everything in his power to reverse the progress our climate movement made to protect our planet from the greed and exploitation of the fossil fuel industry.
Now, we’re staring down an even more dangerous road. Trump plans to repeal major climate legislation, remove any protected status rules on federal lands and waters to allow for more drilling and mining, rescind EPA standards, and remove the U.S. once again from the Paris Climate Agreement. And that’s only the beginning."
