California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) was fuming Thursday as Congress passed a repeal of California’s electric vehicle (EV) mandate, which relied on a special waiver from the outgoing Biden administration in December.
“Make America Smoggy Again,” he announced, sarcastically. The Senate voted 51-44 to repeal the waiver, after a bipartisan majority in the House had done the same, as Breitbart News reported earlier this month.
The repeal relies on the Congressional Review Act, a Bill Clinton-era law that allows Congress to repeal regulations that are not presented to it for timely approval. Newsom says the waiver is exempt from review.
In a press statement, he vowed to sue:
Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta announced today the state will file a lawsuit as Republicans in the U.S. Senate target California’s clean vehicles program – a move that will “Make America Smoggy Again.”
The Republican-controlled Senate is illegally using the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to attempt to revoke California’s Clean Air Act waivers, which authorize California’s clean cars and trucks program. This defies decades of precedent of these waivers not being subject to the CRA, and contradicts the non-partisan Government Accountability Office and Senate Parliamentarian, who both ruled that the CRA’s short-circuited process does not apply to the waivers.

Guess No-som will have to convince the refineries to stay operating.
I wonder when they are going to stop buying power from the AZ nuclear plant?
What a commie jackhole.
Ironic that an oil hater uses more on his hair than all the gas powered cars in CA.
HA
He and his AG should be more concerned with the pollution all their hair gel and spray puts into the atmosphere and oceans
These useless sht democrats and their anti automobile bs have already cost ALL Americans boatloads of money, they need to shut the hell up...
Fuming....as in Hydroflouric acid...?... just askn for a friend.
What a dumb thing to say. Make America smoggy again?
The implication being that we need electric cars to reduce smog levels?
Maybe Newsom is too young or too liberal to know, that air quality has markedly improved in California cities in recent decades. Air quality is far better, and smog alerts are far fewer now than in the past. And that is due in large part, to pollution controls such as catalytic converters on cars.
Air quality markedly improved even though we are still using internal combustion engine vehicles.
But he thinks America will be smoggy again, if we don’t force feed electric cars. He’s factually incorrect in his assumption here.
Awww! Hope this doesn’t ruin his plans for ‘28. 😂😂😂😂
Really who are the fascists? The rats are the ones who tell you what car you have to drive and what kind of stove you can have
now when I see politicians for or against something instead of first looking at their reasoning, I look at what they have to gain or loose individually....follow the money! sad state of affairs
These ilk have WAY too much power.
CA is going to drag 3-5 other western states down with them as all the refinies close.
“”“Make America Smoggy Again,” he announced, sarcastically.””
So, Newscum had the gaul and nerve to pretend to be concerned about air pollution.... when LA is still reeling from the devastatomg wildfires his policies helped to cause just four months ago? Of course he did.
Newsom and the democRats are the real danger to the environment.
What congress passes, a future congress can take away. Newsom is a creepy, leftist moron.
Nobody but Gaia worshipping morons think Noisome and the California comimiecrats EV mandate is a good idea, if anything it a an even worse idea than bullshit train from where nobody wants to be to where nobody wants to be to go.
“Maybe Newsom is too young or too liberal to know...”
Oh, he knows, but as long as our side continues to think that Democrats are well-intentioned, but misguided, THEY will continue to win.
Nero Newsom is worried about smoke in the air?
Shoulda made sure there was water in the hydrants
