The Trump Admin's assault on working people continues.

They are now trying to restrict student loan assistance for many in critical professions, including nurses.

These Americans provide essential functions for all of us. This attack will make staffing shortages worse & harm everyone.

Certain students may no longer receive the same loan for their studies as what counts as "professional" will determine how much they get.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I think it’s fine for officials to urge folks not to get vaccinated as long as they first sign a document agreeing to be eaten by wolves, and have their entire extended family eaten by wolves, if it’s found that even a single member of their family is vaccinated

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

Trump, Hegseth, and Republicans think their meltdown shows strength, but it’s the opposite. They’re showcasing decorated Democratic veterans like Mark Kelly who make them look small and petty. They should pay more attention to lowering grocery prices than ridiculous threats of court-martialing.

I hope folks realize that between Trump, Kushner, Hegseth, Witkoff, Noem, RFK, Jr., Kash Patel, and Tulsi Gabbard, this country is almost entirely undefended.
Q: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?

TRUMP: That's a standard thing. He's gotta sell this to Ukraine, he's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. I haven't heard it but I heard it was standard negotiation.

The EPA just greenlit pesticides laced with PFAS “forever chemicals” for use on kids’ fruits and veggies. Instead of protecting families, the Trump-run agency is letting chemical companies spray cancer-linked toxins on everything from lettuce to potatoes.

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 EPA is moving forward with approvals for pesticides containing “forever chemicals” as an active ingredient, dismissing concerns about health and environmental impacts raised by some scientists and activists.

Here’s what to look out for:

The EPA is greenlighting pesticides made with PFAS, actual forever chemicals, as active ingredients on foods like lettuce, broccoli, & potatoes. They’re also planning to weaken drinking water rules & relax PFAS reporting. This is a public health disaster being signed into policy

The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food.

The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of what are called "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

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.
