The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.
The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.

Trump, Musk, and the GOP killed hundreds of thousands of kids around the world.
That should be a major story and talking point.
They cut USAID to "save" from "waste," but gave 40 billion to Argentina and threw a Great Gatsby party and let Kash Patel burn our money for his honeypot GF.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

Trump is dismantling the Department of Education while our kids face the toughest learning challenges in decades. As a public school parent myself, I see what this means: fewer protections, fewer resources, fewer opportunities. He’s abandoning our students and sabotaging our future.

This isn’t controversial.
A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.
