When an Omaha mother discovered high levels of lead in her son’s blood, she looked up EPA soil tests and discovered potentially harmful levels of the metal in her yard.

City officials said her home didn’t qualify for a government-funded cleanup.

The EPA Was Considering a Massive Lead Cleanup in Omaha. Then Trump Shifted Guidance.
The Trump administration says it will speed cleanups, but residents of the largest residential lead Superfund site worry fewer properties will be remediated.

No, Justice Kavanaugh, it's not the "interim" docket.

Yes, Justice Kavanaugh, I would like you to answer for the consequences of your votes — especially when those consequences come from a vote on what you claim is the "interim" docket.

No, you don't have to answer.

Yes, I'll keep asking.
100 days of Kavanaugh stops and the justices who silently allowed them — and a bill to change that
The Shadow Docket Sunlight Act is being introduced on Wednesday. And, Justice Kavanaugh still isn't saying if he's having second thoughts on his September opinion.

Since the end of the Cold War, democrats have created 50M jobs and republicans have created 1M.
The Republican propaganda that Trump “inherited” a bad economy from Biden and is making it better is the exact opposite of true. The numbers don’t lie and people know what they are experiencing.

I will be pushing for a moratorium on the construction of data centers that are powering the unregulated sprint to develop & deploy AI.

The moratorium will give democracy a chance to catch up, and ensure that the benefits of technology work for all of us, not just the 1%.

The blockade of Venezuela is a disgusting echo of U.S. imperialism in Latin America. We were lied to about Iraq and WMDs, and an entire generation paid the price.

Here we are again.

We cannot let a wannabe dictator drag us into another forever war.
