French President Emmanuel Macron has shot down the idea of backing a collective European project to establish illegal-migrant return hubs outside the bloc, after the EU Parliament paved the way earlier this week. Claiming that it is contrary to the supposed values of “Europe”, President Macron said that France will not agree to fund any EU migrant return hubs, nor will Paris seek to partner on an individual basis with a third-party country, as it will be allowed to under the new returns regulations passed on Wednesday in Strasbourg.

The Trump Environmental Protection Agency’s repeal of the Endangerment Finding – which asserted carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases threaten public health and welfare – is one of the most consequential actions of President Trump’s second term. Now, however, Department of Justice bureaucrats are sabotaging the legal basis for the repeal. The root of the Endangerment Finding was a flawed 2007 Supreme Court decision, for which the Supreme Court has since repudiated the underlying logic. In the 2007 decision, Massachusetts v.

They got it. They demanded…
