"The impact of Trump's attacks on the IRS,🚨in two charts."
A Hall, The Economist

Trump🚨is looting the treasury, enriching him/family, & his chosen #oligarchs. Republicans are to blame, they've defunded the IRS & made #deregulation a priority for years.

Biden was able to fund & enpower the IRS, & facilitated compliance. Most Americans must pay their taxes through payroll taxes & withholdings, but the #TrumpRegime has given the criminals, free-rein.

With Latest Rollback, the #US Essentially Has No #CleanCar Rules

The #EPA’s killing of the #EndangermentFinding caps a year of #deregulation that is likely to make #cars thirstier for #gas & less competitive globally, experts say. [absolutely true, other countries have regulations, if US cars aren’t made to meet their standards, no one can buy them anywhere but in the US. Idiotic.]

Trump’s four major economic policies, which dampened US growth last year, are now projected to boost GDP by 0.85 percentage points in 2026, driven by tax cuts and deregulation, according to the International Finance Center.

Retreat at Belgian castle paves the way for harsh EU #deregulation plan to be agreed at March Summit ⚠️ Last week's European Industry Summit (Antwerp) and EU Summit (Alden Biesen) were arguably the most corporate-captured events the EU has ever experienced 🚨 ➡️ corporateeurope.org/en/deregulat...

@jik obviously this is all due to #deregulation because in places where #health is considered a #HumanRight and not a #comodity, they are regulated harder than 'must-provide' #utilities.

  • It's just really fucking sad fir all those suffering under said system.
    • Not justifying anything, but systematic #DelayDeposeDeny would've yielded 'certain results' as a statistical inevitability sooner or later. Like parking a foodtruck next to a roadside camp of starving people…

Less Enforcement of Environment Rules in US

Reports show that the United States is taking fewer actions against people and companies that break environmental rules. This is happening as the government tries to reduce regulations. Many people are worried about what this means for clean air, water, and our health.

No, @EUCommission, #independence does not "start with a strong economy."

Your social media team just makes stuff up in order to rhetorically connect your pro-business #deregulation policies that hurt people with the very justified fears people have in the face of our dependencies to #Trump #America.

Trump revokes landmark ruling that greenhouse gases endanger public health

> US President Donald Trump has reversed a key Obama-era scientific ruling that underpins all federal actions on curbing planet-warming gases.

> The so-called 2009 "endangerment finding" concluded that a range of greenhouse gases were a threat to public health. It's become the legal bedrock of federal efforts to rein in emissions, especially in vehicles.

> The White House called the reversal the "largest deregulation in American history", saying it would make cars cheaper, bringing down costs for automakers by $2,400 per vehicle.

> Environmental groups say the move is by far the most significant rollback on climate change yet attempted and are set to challenge it in the courts.

4/ Most #deregulation reforms discussed at today's 🇪🇺 summit are long-standing corporate #lobbying demands from CEFIC, the European Round Table for Industry (ERT) and BusinessEurope 🚨 BusinessEurope is currently lobbying for a 'social Omnibus' intended to weaken workers' rights 🤯 #CorporateCapture

3/ Today's 🇪🇺 leaders retreat in #AldenBiesen will discuss proposals from hard-right prime ministers #Merz & #Meloni for accelerating #deregulation: * ending "over-regulation" * Omnibus law to speed up permitting * getting an "emergency brake" on new 🇪🇺 legislation considered "too burdensome"

1/ Commission President von der Leyen & EU government leaders meet today for a 'competitiveness' retreat in #AldenBiesen 🇧🇪 VDL, since her reappointment in 2024, has unleashed an aggressive #deregulation agenda Worryingly, she is now getting absolute backing from #Merz, #Meloni, #DeWever & others

Political cartoon showing a large chainsaw labeled “DEREGULATION” cutting into a tree. The tree’s canopy is labeled with words including “ENVIRONMENT,” “HEALTH STANDARDS,” “DIGITAL RIGHTS,” and “etc.” A figure labeled “Ursula von der Leyen” is pushing the chainsaw into the tree, which looks distressed and is cracking. On the left, a large figure resembling Donald Trump applauds, with “clap clap clap” written beside him. In the center, a smaller figure labeled “Milei,” wearing a suit and wild hair, raises both fists in celebration. The scene suggests deregulation aggressively damaging public protections while some political figures cheer. Cartoon by Khalil Bendib.

2/ Yesterday von der Leyen met with corporate leaders at the #Antwerp Summit, listening to industry lobby demands for further #deregulation She promised she would use today's 🇪🇺 summit in #AldenBiesen to "discuss with leaders how to match the pace you need. It is time to further accelerate" 🚨

Cartoon showing two suited figures standing beside a machine labeled ‘Turbo-Deregulator.’ One figure pours a stack of papers into a funnel decorated with EU stars. A speech bubble says, ‘You just put the vital laws protecting people and planet in here.’ Inside the machine, spinning saw blades shred the papers, and on the other side a box labeled ‘Simplified Laws’ releases a small pile of debris, symbolizing deregulation destroying protections.

In #Antwerp today VDL delivered what industry wanted to hear, including more #deregulation via '28th regime' But this would mean parallel but weaker rules. It could help corporations avoid stricter member state rules for taxation, labour laws etc, triggering a race to the bottom for social rights
