Episode Notes

Trump’s EPA exemptions from the Renewable Fuel Standards have been affecting corn producers across the country, and on Friday, a federal court ruled the administration could not issue new exemptions, but only extend current ones. Plus, Rep. Jared Huffman says Democrats are united at fighting climate change, but they’re still far from consensus on the best way to do so. And, an explosive recording released on Saturday shows President Trump discussing Ukraine’s resources and global oil prices, while saying "Get rid of her" about then-ambassador Marie Yovanovitch.
