BREAKING: The EPA says it will reverse most of the drinking water standards aimed at protecting people from toxic "forever chemicals" known as PFAS.

Even low levels of the chemicals known as PFAS are linked with cancer and other health problems.

Trump EPA moves to weaken drinking water limits on toxic ‘forever chemicals’
The administration said it wants to rescind and reconsider whether limits are needed for four PFAS that chemical companies are still producing and using in the U.S. despite known health risks.

Foreign Friends with Travel Plans to the U.S. for Conventions:

A bit back I said you should maybe reconsider those plans.

I would like to amend my prior statement.

Cancel them. Cancel them now. We cannot keep you safe from our own government. Take your holiday in Spain or something.

After Krasnov leaves office, and preemptively pardons his entire regime for crimes against humanity, every state AG who has some stones needs to jail Rubio, Homan, and anyone else they can for kidnapping and trafficking, as well as murder where applicable.

His pardons don't do shit in state courts.

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

It is very good question and one I’ve been asking for months.

If there is an international agreement with El Salvador for these renditions, the Trump administration is legally required under the Case-Zablocki Act to share it with Congress.

To my knowledge, they have not done so.
Has anyone produced the contract by which El Salvador is holding folks for the US?

At least 11 million people are needed to pledge, that's nearly 3.5% of the US population. When the number hits 11 million it's time to strike. Spread widely.

Yet another plane crash on Sean Duffy’s watch— and the *5th* since Trump “ended DEI madness and restored excellent and safety within the FAA.”

It's important to remember that any principled effort to remove fraud from America's public life would start with an all-out push to prosecute and imprison Elon Musk.

There is no bigger fraudster alive today.

Dems spent years avoiding having any kind of convo about adding seats to the Supreme Court because 'what kind of precedent would that set for Republicans?'

Meanwhile, the GOP take office & within weeks are openly talking about ignoring court verdicts and impeaching judges. Sigh.

I am begging every Democratic committee, PAC, and candidate to get control of your damn email program right now and stop sending tone deaf fundraising emails that have nothing to do with what's happening. Stop listening to focus groups from a month ago. Stop the 2 approved talking points.

What Elon is doing is straight up illegal. He has no authority to go through line by line and shut off funding to organizations he dislikes. He's intentionally trying to destroy civil society.

There were THREE plane crashes this week--not two. The first was Tuesday of an $80 million US military jet that literally fell out of the sky in Alaska. Then the tragedy in Wash DC and then the deadly crash last night in Philadelphia. WTF is happening under Trump?!! Is this part of Project 2025?
