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.

1/ THREAD: This year ICE has sent a record 600 immigrant kids into federal shelters, more than in the previous four years combined. Data suggests some are being separated from their families.

Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

The American Revolution on PBS is amazing. It’s inspiring and enraging, messy, just like our fragile democracy. And, also, very timely as we face our current tyrant. It’s surprisingly emotional, and I’m struck by Thomas Paine’s words, and how they helped inspire the rebellion.
"These are the times that try men's souls...Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph."

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

Because president tRump, his spokesperson Karoline Leavitt, and the Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, all blatantly lied about this today, I’m sharing this video. If you believe in liberty, I implore you to do so, as well. Don’t give up the ship. Stamp out tyranny. #NoKings #Resist 🇺🇸

Just a reminder: there was a Biden administration investigation into Epstein and Maxwell's co-conspirators. Trump killed it in January, fired the prosecutors, stole the files, & ordered Bondi to open a new sham investigation, led by a handpicked prosecutor, so DOJ wouldn't have to release the files.

The Saudi Crown Prince had Khashoggi dismembered in the Saudi embassy in Istanbul.
Dismembered while still alive.
But Khashoggi gave his phone to his fiancee and went in with his Apple Watch recording.
His watch was connected to his phone.
It captured the gruesome audio of his brutal killing.

I’m no rocket scientist, yet, I’m smart enough to have voted against this deplorable every chance I got. Because, it was EFFING OBVIOUS that this self described “p*ssy” grabber was unfit for any public office. Anyone who did vote for him was belligerently ignorant, full stop. They can’t hide. Ever.

It shows Schumer no longer has the caucus.
It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not.
If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.
