Goitein details how these powers can be reformed responsibly, and whether President Biden can use them to invoke an emergency declaration to accelerate action on our worsening climate crisis.\\xa0 Also today:\\xa0 New economic data shows that the U.S. economy has done far better under Democratic Presidents over the past 90 years than under Republicans, by every measure - from jobs to GDP to incomes and even stock prices - for a simple reason.
