"The agency [EPA] will now only consider the costs to businesses of complying with pollution standards."

This administration makes it abundantly clear every single day that they have zero regard for the health and well-being of the American people.
EPA Will No Longer Consider Lives Saved in Pollution Rules, Only Cost to Business

For non-German speakers:

“Dear media, I can’t stand the headline "No agreement between the US and Denmark” any longer. If an armed man storms a bank, you don't run the headline: "Robber and cashier can't reach an agreement on money transfer." Stop framing imperial aggression as normal diplomacy.”
Liebe Medien, ich kann die Schlagzeile "Keine Einigung zwischen USA und Dänemark" nicht mehr sehen. Wenn ein Bewaffneter eine Bank stürmt, titelt ihr doch auch nicht: "Räuber und Kassiererin finden keinen Konsens über Geldübergabe." Hört auf, imperiale Aggression als normale Diplomatie zu framen.

There is currently around a 1.000 people who have signed a statement urging the government to reject Long as ambassador (the population of Iceland is 400.000).

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

"Quit demonstrating" is not something that a pro-democracy politician says. It's something that an authoritarian tool says.
Rep. Roger Williams: "People need to quit demonstrating, quit yelling at law enforcement, challenging law enforcement, and begin to get civil."

Mamdani: Today is an incredible win for working people. We’re talking about a $1.2 billion commitment to make universal childcare a reality.

What today’s commitment shows is that working families will no longer have to choose between the city they love and the family they want to raise.

You're going to hear a lot of lies about what the law allows after the Trump Regime's murder of Renee Good.

States can prosecute federal officers, they've been doing it since the 1800s. Trump cannot stop it and cannot pardon it.

AOC: ICE has less accountability than virtually any law enforcement agency in the U.S., yet they are some of the most well-funded, operating with impunity—and we just saw them murder an American citizen in cold blood in the street.

I just want people to remember that what this was was transparently obvious at the time and universally condemned. Hold on to that fact and don't let people change it under you.
