About 90,000 people living near larger chemical plants face an unacceptable risk of developing cancer, the EPA says.

New rules adopted last year could’ve cut that number to 3,000 residents — a drop of 97%.

But Trump has halted those efforts.
Air Pollution From Industrial Facilities Is Far Worse Than Estimated
The Trump administration has put a stop to EPA rules that would have required more than 130 industrial facilities to install air monitors to measure pollution. Millions of people living near these pla...

Highly visible buses, vans and trucks emblazoned with the Hope Florida logo and with Florida state license plates cannot be found in a database, called FleetWave, that is supposed to track all of the estimated 27,000 state-owned vehicles. And state officials either can’t or won’t explain why.

Interviews and records show the White House intervened on behalf of accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate during a federal investigation.

The incident is the latest in a string of matters where the Trump administration has inserted itself to help friends and target foes.

If you don’t find this sickening and disgusting, you are in a dark place. Listen to what he says. It’s right there. It’s who he is. It’s who he’s always been. And therefore it’s who we all will be if we keep down this path.

Sometimes I can laugh at the president or roll my eyes when he says something wild or ridiculous.

This one just makes me so sad. So deeply sad. I imagine some of you feel the same. Please recognize that, care for it and yourself. It’s rough out there.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

There are few things that Trump says that are shocking to me, or anyone else stuck in this warped doom loop that is paying attention to American politics in 2025. But Trump’s remarks today demonizing murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi and defending the Saudi crown prince were an exception.

You've probably seen Marjorie Taylor Greene on the airwaves denouncing the "toxic politics" in the United States. So, let's revisit the evidence of who helped make these politics so toxic.

Covering Jamal Khashoggi's murder was one of the most disturbing things I've worked on. Hearing Trump say he was "extremely controversial" and people "didn't like him" is chilling. Hard to take any other way than he thinks there is moral ambiguity in the murder of a journalist.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.

But that's just me

A US intelligence report concluded that bin Salman personally "approved an operation" to "kill or capture" Khashoggi.

This is so offensive I don’t even know where to start.

“Vote blue no matter who and also shut the fuck up when those people betray you.”

Nope.

We will primary every senator who doesn’t call for Schumer to step down in the next 24 hours.

You work for us.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

How do you make this your central demand for 40 days and then just let it go
Major concession from Democrats here is enhanced ACA funds aren’t extended. Preserving them was Dems’ central demand in this fight. They secured a promise of a vote (which Thune has been offering for weeks), but that could still fail. Even if it passes, Johnson has made no promise of a House vote.
