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.

NEW: Amid concerns over the Biden administration's regulation of the crypto industry, billionaire tech investor Marc Andreessen, a longtime Democrat, donated more than $5 million to groups supporting Trump ahead of the 2024 election.
Since then, he's gotten what he called for: a hollowed-out CFPB.

Tech Billionaire Marc Andreessen Bet Big on Trump. It’s Paying Off for Silicon Valley.
The Trump administration’s gutting of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has been good for venture capitalists like Andreessen, who previously accused the agency of “terrorizing” fintech startups and crypto companies.

I love how Renaissance painters are doing so well until they get to the babies and then it's like, "I have never seen a baby. Presumably they look like tiny, creepy old men?"

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you can do all the "married" things without legally binding yourself to someone. Buy that house together, raise whatever kind of family, put them on your insurance, etc. You can even use their last name w/o legally changing yours.

When I called Derek Schmidt, KS, to vote "no" on bill HR1, I was told I was too late.
I said "we're fucked," and the man on the phone said, "we are not."
This bill is devastating.
We need a direct, dry, ongoing fact campaign about this bill. Never let US citizens forget what the GOP voted for.
