Watching this nomination hearing for DOI deputy secretary pick Tommy Beaudreau, I feel like several of these senators who've dialed in remotely have been kicked out of their home offices and are now working in random rooms in their homes. — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you! It took a lot of work to pull it together, and maintaining it is now part of my daily tasks. The idea is regardless of what you think of either Trump or Biden, this gives you a sense of what they’ve accomplished in charting the trajectory of US environmental policy. — PolitiTweet.org

Actually, our tracker addresses this issue by categorizing whether repealing each rollback is “easy” “medium” or “difficult.” By definition, the Trump policies that are most difficult to reverse are the most significant. So that’s another way of evaluating Biden’s record. — PolitiTweet.org
