Trading away Americans' health to boost polluters' profits has become a daily thing for the Trump administration. They want to delay or cancel lifesaving limits on toxins dumped by coal-fired power plants into our waterways, silica dust limits that protect coal miners from black lung & more.

Trump and RFK Jr. aren't making America healthy again—in fact, they're making our nation's health care worse. @cmkelly.bsky.social explains how the administration is undermining its own MAHA agenda:

Vance claims to be a devout Catholic, but at every moment he models exactly what Jesus would NOT do! The hypocrisy of this man is endless and sickening!

The EPA's office that oversees clean up of toxic waste sites & responds to oil spills and other hazardous emergencies received notice on Friday that more layoffs are coming. 825+ hazardous chemical incidents occurred in the U.S. in 2021-2023. On average that's 1 every other day.WHAT COULD GO WRONG??

88% of voters—including 81% of Trump voters—support a strong EPA. Shutdowns show us what happens when EPA is weakened.
Congress must step up and fund EPA to protect our health. #ProtectEPA

My colleague @cmkelly.bsky.social describes how gutting protections from cancer-causing pollution, and slashing cancer research and treatment, threatens the health of Americans, including our kids.

Indicting your political enemies because they’re your enemies, not because they’ve committed crimes, is unAmerican.

Trump and RFK Jr. promised to protect kids and communities from toxic pollution, but instead they're giving polluters a free pass to emit more pollution that causes cancer, asthma and other serious health problems.

Outrageous! RFK Jr promised to hold corporate polluters accountable for poisoning our air and water. Instead the Trump administration is weakening environmental protections, giving polluters a free pass to keep polluting and hiding the data on how this harms Americans’ health.

Latinas often work in industries with positive employment growth, but their wages haven't kept up. Full-time, year round #Trabajadoras earn just 58 cents per dollar of white, non-Hispanic men resulting in >$33k/year lost to the #WageGap. #LatinaEqualPay https://ow.ly/Iht150X8Bv2
The gender wage gap for full-time, year-round workers expanded significantly in 2024 and is wider for women of color
