The thing that was making America great was apparently lead.
Today EPA chief Lee Zeldin announced that the agency is rolling back 31 regulations.
He's taking aim at mercury, soot, and toxic pollution restrictions, and federal protection of wetlands.
The EPA will also rewrite rules limiting pollution from fossil-fuel plants and cars, and more.

Tesla's stock price—and thus most of Elon Musk's wealth—is based entirely on vibes and "a shared popular narrative," not real-world earnings.

The largest part of Elon Musk's wealth is Tesla, a company with an insanely inflated stock price that is wholly dependent on positive consumer sentiment. Tarnishing Tesla's brand could plausibly cost Musk $100 billion.

Libraries are often one of the only places you can go that does not require money! You can hang out, use the bathroom, actually get resources without being asked for money. It is a huge community resource!
Libraries genuinely just want to serve the public and help you find what you need. Whether it's an obscure piece of info, picture books for your kids, or just a warm and safe place to sit/rest/use the bathroom. Your library is one of the few free spaces still open to all.
