Trump Administration Climate Policy Rollback and Democratic Response

IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING
Track actual regulatory changes at EPA and Interior Department through Federal Register notices rather than relying on meta-coverage about political responses.
Why This Score
This is primarily a media narrative about Democratic/environmental group *response* to climate rollbacks rather than the rollbacks themselves. The constitutional harm is minimal (capture score of 2 reflects policy reversal within executive authority). The high B-score reflects significant media-volume mismatch: coverage focuses on Democratic silence rather than substantive policy changes, creating easy panel discussion fodder without requiring deep policy analysis.
