WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration is set to loosen a federal rule that requires grocery stores and air-conditioning companies to reduce greenhouse gases used in cooling equipment, in what officials say is a push to lower grocery costs.

The head of the Environmental Protection Agency, Lee Zeldin, said the Biden-era rule imposes costly restrictions that limit the type of refrigerants U.S. businesses and families can use.

The Daily Record newspaper recently obtained exclusive (parody) transcripts from a private press conference held on Capitol Hill, Washington, D.C. The conference was held in front of the display case, which holds the Declaration of Independence. Conservative Representative Toddy ‘Christian’ Coalburner was forced to share the podium with Democratic Representative Sara ‘Immigrant’ Heartbleeder. Standing before them was but one reporter, Tony ‘lil guy’ Everyman (who wore one of those baggy tan vests with tons of full pockets to carry whatever it is reporters carry on themselves). 

On May 8, Nebraskans celebrated Provider Appreciation Day, a moment to say thank you to the childcare professionals who make many of our daily lives possible. But gratitude alone is not enough. If we are serious about Nebraska’s economic future, we need to recognize childcare providers for who they truly are: critical economic infrastructure.

 Because childcare is everyone’s business.
