So Trump and Junior are going to make us even more unhealthy.
The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food.
The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of what are called "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

I think we need to impeach 6 SCOTUS justices for putting politics ahead of their duty to the Country.
Presidential immunity is not explicitly in the U.S. Constitution; it is a legal doctrine that has developed through court decisions over time.
It is always up for interpretation

They have nothing but lies.
Remember when the government was closed and Speaker Johnson swore they would negotiate on the ACA once it reopened? Well, Trump’s plan to extend ACA subsidies is now on hold after GOP pushback.
This proves they never planned to negotiate. Republicans have no intention of lowering healthcare costs.
