s dirty power plan, a proposal intended to replace the obama administration's clean power plan. this proposal from this administration fails in at least two aspects. first, it fails to address climate change and, second, it will put americans' health at risk. mr. president, millions of american children are headed back to school in my state and your state, states across the country this week, next week. all three of my children are grown. but not so long ago we were sitting -- sending them off to school, helping them with their homework, making sure they're getting good grades. as far as we know, we didn't know how many failing grades. however, i can't say the same for the trump administration with respect to this latest proposal. a friend of mine recently said if corruption were a class, the trump administration would be getting an a+. well, yet in just about everything else, especially public health and economics, the trump administration continues to fail the american people almost every day. it's clear this administration needs for do a little remedial work, maybe take some
