The EPA weakened air pollution standards for new power plants and said it will no longer consider the health impacts or economic costs of some of the most dangerous pollutants.

🚨 In Nov., Trump's Labor Dept. lowered the minimum wage for foreign farmworkers.

A month later, Trump's winery filed to hire 36 foreign, temporary workers.

The rate? Almost $2/hour less than in 2025.
