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

This is why you always follow the money.

The EPA has approved two new pesticides with "forever chemicals" that will be used on food.

The agency has also announced plans for four additional approvals.

The approved pesticides will be used on vegetables such as romaine lettuce, broccoli and potatoes.

Maintaining decorum while he flouts it, granting deference while he bullies, and using honorifics when he insults others will only smooth the way for further effort to intimidate and dominate ordinary Americans as well as political adversaries.
Bullies, oligarchs, and White supremacists often inveigh against loss of “civility” or “manners” when those protesting injustice disturb their “polite society” and cocoon of denial. That transparent but effective trap seeks to keep “those people” in their “place.”

There are several important cases before the Supreme Court about redistricting. The Texas case -- which is awaiting a decision -- will tell us whether Donald Trump's gambit to have Texas illegally gerrymander will succeed or fail. I am proud that my law firm is in this fight!

I'm all for reform to improve our public schools—I'm the one who rewrote No Child Left Behind.

But Trump breaking apart the Department of Education isn't reform, it's sabotage.

I'm fighting every way I can to stop him and protect public education.

My daughter and I visited the house we lived in when she was a baby, and she was shocked a 29-year-old Navy guy could afford a nice house in a safe neighborhood.

That wasn’t crazy in 1996 — but today, a nice house is out of reach for so many young people. That has to change.

SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Mark Kelly: "I said something that was pretty simple and non-controversial, and that was that members of the military should follow the law. In response to that, Trump said I should be executed, I should be hanged ... it says a lot more about him than it says about me. I'm not going to be silenced."
