A Postcard From an Occupied Washington

When a president decides to disregard the will of the American people, you’re right, that’s the mark of authoritarian rule. The White House has notified Congress that it plans to cancel $4.9 billion in foreign aid funding that lawmakers had already approved, doing so without their consent.

Wherever you live in North Carolina, Trump’s action matters. Hundreds of water systems in the state were found to have elevated levels of PFAS in 2024. It’s estimated that nearly half of the nation’s tap water has PFAS in it.

Trump just pulled back a plan to regulate toxic, cancer-causing PFAS. It’s in hundreds of water systems in North Carolina.
PFAS, or “forever chemicals," are linked to cancer, birth abnormalities, and other health ailments. But Trump is pushing back a long-awaited plan to set federal limits on them.

To recap, Trump:
-Forced out the FAA chief at Musk's insistence
-Imposed a hiring freeze that reportedly included air traffic controllers
-Fired the TSA head and gutted a key aviation safety committee
-Blamed the DCA crash on DEI
This is disastrous leadership.

It’s also a clear sign to dissenting Americans need to be VERY active in calling their representatives, governors and senators.
Trump's spending freeze was unconstitutional and a violation of the Impoundment Control Act.
But the public uproar yesterday should serve as a reminder that Trump's plans to gut federal programs are deeply unpopular.
