EPA has been killed.
All to make even more money for billionaires who profit power generation and other industrial processes, at the risk of ALL our lives. It's vile and cruel. Over 30,000 people a year will die, more will sicken, and 800,000 asthma incidents will occur because of it.

Thanks to Jon Stewart! The republican narrative, that only they are patriots? It's a damned lie, one they've been telling since I was a child in the 60s and I'm sure long before that.
In circumventing everything our Constitution says and destroying every government agency THEY are the traitors now.

Are we surprised?
The day after a federal judge finds that DOGE is essentially an agency, and therefore subject to FOIA requests, USAID tells employees to destroy everything.

The claim that if someone fighting an aggressor doesn't submit to the aggressor, then they are to blame for the aggressor's acts and the consequences of those acts?

A 1st-grader could tell you why that's an outright lie.

USAID was influential in ending apartheid. Musk has reduced its workforce from 12000 to 300. 12 people for all of Africa. This is revolting, vile retribution.

As of 02/04 over 300 babies that wouldn't have gotten AIDS, now have it due to lack of medicine from USAID.

Get Musk OUT of our business!

Democrats – call them. Then call them some more.
The fact that so many angry constituents have been calling them has made a difference.
And call your Republican congresspeople as well.
