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.

Where is the MAHA outcry?

It’s hard to decide which is more disturbing—that the president of the United States thinks that being disliked is a mitigating factor in the murder of a journalist; or that he considers reporters who ask questions he doesn’t like to be “insubordinate.” www.thebulwark.com/p/push-back-...

It’s long past time for the Fourth Estate to challenge the president’s unhinged hostility and unbridled misogyny.

This entire nation is not well, because in the highest position of leadership, we have one of the most amoral, lawless, vile, hateful human beings to ever walk the planet: a man devoid of decency, bereft of empathy, and allergic to truth...

Over the weekend, I gathered with thousands of people from every corner of this nation for ‘Remove the Regime,’ a rally calling for the impeachment, conviction, and removal of Donald Trump.

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences.
It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:

Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.

If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.

Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

Impeachment isn’t an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent.

Impeach, convict, remove. And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo54...

I'm not sure whether to say this because I'm afraid people will think it's a joke. But.

I keep thinking that if the US invades Venezuela, almost immediately on getting in it will try to set up camps and "deport" people from America for indefinite imprisonment there. It will be Camp X-Ray again

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

The last time America attempted regime change to lower the price of oil it embroiled us in a war for two decades

And that’s just ONE of the many, many reasons not to attack Venezuela

The criminality of extrajudicially killing thousands of innocent civilians would be another

I thought he forgot about it, Darn it.
We’re about to invade Venezuela because trump wants their oil. No other reason. The airspace has been cleared. Embassies are being evacuated. Flights are being canceled.

He’s going to kill people for oil.

George W Bush’s administration found lawyers to justify torturing prisoners

Now Trump found lawyers to justify murdering fisherman they say are smuggling drugs

This is why Mark Kelly and his colleagues made the video telling troops to follow only legal orders

And why Trump threatened to kill them

Mike Johnson is big mad that we forced through a petition and forced a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

So let’s do it again. This time to restore the ACA credits he stole from us:
