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?

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

The US pays on average $187.48 for immigration detention per bed per day (ICE 2023 numbers). Thats more than $7 million per DAY for over 50,000 immigrants in detention.
And we can find $8 billion to feed the hungry?
$7 million doesn’t count the cost of deporting immigrants.

The Department of Agriculture says it cannot spend its $6 billion in reserves to address the $8 billion needed for SNAP in November. The administration did easily found $20 billion to prop up Javier Milei in Argentina.

Let's get this up in SC (and all states). I like the name of the act: The Ratepayer Protection Act.
Thanks to MD PSC (www.psc.state.md.us), gas corporations can no longer unfairly charge existing customers big $ to add new customers--saves customers $1B in hidden fees & helps reduce the $1.3B in annual health costs due to gas burning equipment in MD.

Wonder why EVs are so much mor efficient than ICE?
ICE vehicles waste a whopping 80% of the energy in their fuel.
Electric vehicles are propelled by entirely different mechanisms. Energy enters the vehicle as electricity, which directly powers the drivetrain: EVs need not convert one form of energy to another resulting in much higher efficiency.

Kimmel, Colbert and all the other comedians also made fun of Presidents Biden, Obama, etc. For as long as I've been watching comedy, the president and his party are always subject of jokes, some not kind. This is also true in other democratic countries where political comedy is even more popular.
