Tens of millions of people, including children, would continue to have contaminated drinking water if the rules are revoked.
So the GOP is the party of lead poisoning now?

He's effectively gutted the agency tasked with defending the rights of workers to organize.
Guess who has recently filed lawsuits aimed at invalidating the agency altogether?
Amazon and SpaceX.

Egg prices hit record highs this week.
Much of the increase is the result of egg shortages brought on by avian flu.
How has Trump responded? By ordering public health agencies to cease communications with the public.
His presidency is a threat to our health and our wallets.
