Trump’s 100 Days and Montana’s Climate Backlash Reshape US Policy Debates
President Trump commemorated his first 100 days back in office with a self-congratulatory rally in Michigan, touting job promises and sweeping executive actions. Critics note that public approval remains shaky, with economic concerns and tariff tensions overshadowing the celebration. Meanwhile, in Montana, Republican lawmakers push legislation to limit the impact of a landmark youth climate lawsuit, which previously mandated the state consider climate factors in energy projects. The proposed measures could curtail environmental litigation and alter how courts handle climate challenges. Both stories illustrate how politics can pivot quickly—Trump’s rapid policy execution underscores the power of the executive branch, while Montana’s legislative pushback reveals friction between judicial climate rulings and legislative agendas.
