The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.

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

He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was ProPublica reporter @josh-kaplan.bsky.social.

If you want to know who really is on your side look at who is willing to support Mamdani.

Big Oil spent nearly $450M backing Trump & Republican candidates last year.

Now, during one of the longest government shutdowns in history, Senate Republicans voted to gut a policy protecting millions of acres in Alaska from oil drilling.

The U.S. has conducted 10 strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats, killing 43 people.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.
