About 90,000 people living near larger chemical plants face an unacceptable risk of developing cancer, the EPA says. New rules adopted last year could’ve cut that number to 3,000 residents — a drop of 97%.
But Trump has halted those efforts.

A few more thoughts from last night’s vote.
First, let’s stop pretending Trump cares one bit about the economic pressure regular Americans are under.
He treats hardship as something to exploit.

President Trump claimed that he would cut electricity prices in half within a year.
My new report shows that, in reality, Americans in almost every single state are facing higher electricity bills this year.

A reminder that before he was blowing up boats under supposed war authority based on bogus accusations of terrorism, the President sent hundreds of men to CECOT under supposed war authority based on bogus accusations of terrorism.

Pundits say the problem is that Democrats fail to represent the people—but the real problem is that our political system fails to represent the people.
The Dems have won the popular vote in presidential elections six times since 1992 by roughly 5.5%(1992), 8.5%,(1996) .5%(2000), 7.3%(2008), 4%(2012), 2%(2016),and 4.5%(2020).
In that period the GOP presidential candidate has won the popular vote twice: 2.5%(2004) and 1.5%(2024).

Douthat writes that 2024, when Harris lost by 1.5% of the popular vote, was "an ideological referendum and progressivism lost." I wonder why he didn't view the 2020 election, when Trump lost by 4.5% of the popular vote, as a far more significant loss for conservatism.

There are people all over this nation who were out there with signs that said, “Swear her in.” They wouldn’t have even known about me otherwise.

NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work.
Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.
She was later released with NO CHARGE.
A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”.

WELKER: Part of your tactic is to imitate some of what we see from online from President Trump. Do you risk normalizing that behavior?
NEWSOM: Quite the contrary. The whole expression was to not allow it to be normalized. He's dressing up as the Pope! It's madness. And so I put a mirror up to it.
