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?

Trump's EPA is moving to strip protections from wetlands all across the country. This rule will have disastrous consequences for many American communities by polluting their drinking water and skyrocketing water treatment costs for taxpayers.

The Trump administration just unveiled a plan to significantly narrow which bodies of water qualify for protection under the Clean Water Act. They proposed a new definition of what counts as a “water of the United States,” a change that would

Megyn Kelly is a paedophile apologist! She is using your network to spread the word that raping and abusing a child under the age of 18 is no big deal! As long as they just look young??? Shut her down.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

"Partially funded".
Standard Republican playbook. Keep people on the edge, so they're dependent on you, and promise just enough so they don't revolt. This is revolting, and we should be revolting.

The Roadless Rule is under threat! Today, the USDA opened a 21-day comment period on its plan to rollback protections for nearly one third of America’s National Forest land, including 8,700 climbing routes, 768 miles of whitewater paddling runs, and 25,000 miles of trail.

Never underestimate the ability of stress to make chronic health conditions worse.

If someone you care about has a chronic condition, do whatever you can to lighten their stress load. It could save their life or at least extend it.

People don’t fake disability, they fake being well.

They aren’t stealing your tax dollars, they’re forced into legislated poverty.

They’re not the reason you can’t get ahead. Denying them healthcare or social supports won’t better your life.

Also, almost everyone ends up disabled eventually.

It's so weird. Dems keep breaking talking records, but we all keep losing our rights, money, benefits, and care.

What did they do when they controlled EVERYTHING? codify roe? expand the court? raise minimum wage? Universal healthcare? Affordable housing?

No! They lined their pockets

I’m not joking. OUR tax dollars pay for everything. WE get the government we put up with. We can either refuse to pay our taxes. Or we can form a true General Strike as Greece, France, Italy do. SHUT THE FUCKING COUNTRY DOWN. That’s it.

I don't know about you...but I'm disturbed by the amount of hell NOT being raised by leadership about masked individuals jumping out of unmarked vans, refusing to identify themselves...and just shoving people into a Goddamn vehicle and whisking them away.

This is the correct move by the Board of Education. The Constitution doesn't allow the governor to ignore laws he doesn't like.

Mr. Authoritarian President, why weren’t you as interested in upholding “very strong law and order” during the insurrection on the Nation’s Capital as you are now in LA? Was your inaction then a result of your having incited the insurrection? #WeMustImpeachTrump!

One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that we should be more concerned about a poor person misusing the welfare system or an immigrant being here illegally than we are about the ultra wealthy abusing the system and cruel people having unchecked power over all of us.
