Trump and the GOP are trying to repeal a Biden admin rule that requires lead water pipes to be replaced.
Tens of millions of people, including children, would continue to have contaminated drinking water if the rules are revoked.
So the GOP is the party of lead poisoning now?

Republicans move to repeal lead limits imposed by Biden-era rules
US government would be prohibited from ever mandating lead pipe replacement or lowering lead limits in water

We are so tired of working twice as hard and still being told that we’re less competent than the least competent white men.
Crockett: I am tired of the white tears. When you compare me to Marjorie Taylor Greene or me to Lauren Boebert, there is no comparison. So the only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys that have been beaten out by people that historically have had to work so, so much harder

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

Wonderful 1950 letter in which J. Robert Oppenheimer very patiently explains to Eleanor Roosevelt that flying saucers do not exist--and tells a funny story about human fallibility, and how all the Los Alamos scientists tried to get the local Air Force base to shoot down a UFO.
![Letter from May 19, 1950. I'm just going to quote the relevant bits. "The papers [about UFOs sent by Roosevelt to Oppenheimer] all start with the assurance that there are such things. This, of course, I do not believe. ... There is not any credible evidence; and certainly the kind of explanation proposed [in the papers] does not lead one to believe in the phenomenon they are trying to explain. There is perhaps one thing one can learn. It is not just that men, and even their accounts of what they see and experience, are fallible and subject to error; it is that arriving at the truth can often be a more difficult and troublesome thing than we like to think. During the war, very shortly before the test of the first atomic bomb, people at Los Alamos were naturally in a state of some tension. I remember one morning when almost the whole project was out of doors staring at a bright object in the sky, through glasses, binoculars, and whatever else they could find; and nearby Kirtland Firled reported to us that they had no interceptors which had enabled them to come within range of the object. Our director of personnel was an astronomer and a man of some human wisdom; and he finally came to my office and asked whether we would stop trying to shoot down Venus..."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kjajzkyswsc32afso7ecrrgk/bafkreicwbu2yogig2ka7uzofwokin64n3h4mpxbmzocpovjmhel7kleg3u@jpeg)

Trump and his lackeys want to divide us.
They want white people to blame Black and Latino people for every tragedy. And they want Black and Latino people to react not only with hurt but with justifiable anger.
We must not let them win.

💙 Thank you, Jim Acosta. 💙
Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Most immigrants Trump targets have been here 10+ years, paying taxes, raising families, contributing to our communities.
Mass deportation would devastate our economy and tear apart the social fabric of America.
