BAAJA gives Trump and every future President less power.
It's a testament to Trump's energy advisors that he is willing to cede power for the sake of enduringly unleashing the freedom to build.

Just to be clear. I am not against permitting reform. I am against a bad bill (BAAJA). There is no agreement on fossil fuel permitting that Senate Democrats could deliver even if they wanted (which they don't). A one-sided compromise is not a compromise; it is a trick.View quoted post on X
