"we took the freedom of speech away"
What I keep wondering about the flag-waving MAGA crowd is what part of "America" they love. Not the constitution, or the rights it enshrines. Not the melting pot or the Statue of Liberty, clearly. Not our national parks, or even our wildlife. What, then?

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

The Montreal Protocol (which regulates HFCs) is a clear example of when govts listened to scientists (despite opposition from industry at the time) and very good things happened as a result. Enter Trump, as usual, to fart in the elevator and tell us it’s perfume.
Trump administration wants to roll back regulations on HFCs (very potent greenhouse gases) OVER THE OBJECTIONS OF THE APPLIANCE INDUSTRY.
Here’s why one industry is worried about Trump’s latest climate rollback
The Environmental Protection Agency announced Tuesday that it would rewrite a Biden-era rule aimed at limiting hydrofluorocarbons, a potent greenhouse gas.

The 8 months since Trump took office have been full of short-sighted, mean-spirited, and corrupt orders and threats.
It's easy to miss the TACO moments, or that courts have been blocking him on a weekly basis.
There is a big gap between his whims and our reality. You can be part of that gap.

The new #MAHA report ducks the tough questions, eg the thousands of unregulated chemicals in plastic packaging, many of which are known to be harmful and leach into our food. Until politicians are willing to stand up to corporations, we will continue to get sick and die from preventable causes.
