    Rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement

    Which is a non-binding agreement that the US is STILL not abiding by, so bfd.

    Rejoining the World Health Organization

    While continuing to downplay Covid-19, lifting the emergency status and forcing everyone back to work long before it was safe. Likely at the behest of donors.

    Revoking permits for the Keystone XL pipeline

    Which was a good thing more than made up for by mandating that any new renewable energy projects would be contingent on first increasing the amount of federal land leased for fossil fuel extraction many times over.

    Ending support for Saudi Arabia’s war in Yemen

    Nope. The US is still very much supporting that genocide as well as the one in Gaza.

    Withdrawing from Afghanistan

    Which was a good idea horribly executed. Worst bungled end to a US war since Vietnam.

    Juneteenth National Independence Day Act

    Purely symbolic

    American Rescue Plan

    Insufficient but ok, I’m gonna be charitable and give him that one.

    Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act

    Mostly a giant giveaway to corporations, it privatized a lot more infrastructure than it paid to fix.

    CHIPS and Science Act

    Another corporate giveaway.

    Inflation Reduction Act

    Failed to live up to its name

    Honoring our PACT Act

    Ok, this was a good on.

    Eliminating the Schedule F class of federal workers Trump created that stripped federal workers of job protections

    While taking rights away from other workers.

    Restoring collective bargaining rights to federal workers

    Unless they bother some of his favorite donors like the railway workers did
