AXIOS (Zachary Basu) - A year into Trump's term, voters say Biden was better

President Trump has become so politically toxic that voters now say Joe Biden — whose unpopularity forced him into early retirement — did a better job as president, according to three new polls.

The White House has nine months to turn the ship around before a potential midterm wipeout for Republicans. Zoom in: Three national surveys point to the same alarming trend for a president who's done everything in his power to erase his predecessor's legacy . - Harvard CAPS/Harris (Jan. 28–29): Mark Penn's polling firm found that 51% of registered voters say Trump is doing a worse job than Biden, compared with 49% who say he's doing…

AXIOS (Amy Harder) - Greenhouse gas emissions will keep falling despite Trump's climate rollback

President Trump is trying to pull the rug out from under federal climate regulation. But the U.S. economy may no longer be standing on it. Why it matters: The energy transition is well underway and is unlikely to be reversed by Thursday's historic move. The big picture: America's emissions are projected to decline substantially even if major climate regulations are repealed, driven by falling renewable energy prices and cleaner natural gas outcompeting dirtier coal. Driving the news: The Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday is expected to overturn the 2009 "endangerment finding," which determined that greenhouse gases threaten public health and welfare. - The finding sets the foundation for federal regulation of climate pollution…

Another OpenAI employee, Hieu Pham, wrote on X : "I finally feel the existential…
