The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.

The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.

Where is the MAHA outcry?

Just a reminder that Trump had his attorney general preempt the Mueller Report with a self-serving “summary” and the media ran with it and it defined everything that came after.

Something to remember as we wait for a probably doctored and scrubbed “Epstein Files” report.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Still pissed off. @democrats.org should lose my name and phone number. That was not a strategy. That was self-sabotage, and I am tired of it. @senangusking.bsky.social I saw your interview. And you call yourself a New Englander?

@schumer.senate.gov - you are not inoculated with your no vote. You allowed this very strategic vote to happen. There is NO 10 to 30% chance of fixing the ACA, according to Speaker Johnson. It’s 100% “no.” What makes me sick is that you think we’re so stupid.
Q: Will you assure House Democrats they'll get a vote on ACA subsidies by a date certain?

MIKE JOHNSON: Ah -- no. I'm not promising anyone anything.

My millennial daughter told me she trusted Curtis Sliwas (former mayoral candidate and leader of the Guardian Angels over Senate Democrats. Well done all. Capitulating to the GOP after kicking their butts on Tuesday feels like sabotage. If there is any hope for the midterms, Chuck needs to retire.

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."
