About 90,000 people living near larger chemical plants face an unacceptable risk of developing cancer, the EPA says. New rules adopted last year could’ve cut that number to 3,000 residents — a drop of 97%.

But Trump has halted those efforts.

Air Pollution From Industrial Facilities Is Far Worse Than Estimated
The Trump administration has put a stop to EPA rules that would have required more than 130 industrial facilities to install air monitors to measure pollution. Millions of people living near these pla...

Here’s the other side of it that Republicans, the press and apparently at least 4 Dem Senators don’t get:

It doesn’t stop at ACA insurance plans. Removing these subsidies means premiums increase across all plans when renewals come down.

Only safe if you pay out of pocket. Aka 0.1%, aka wealthy.

Also I want to expand on this.

Dems are out of power right now. We are learning while we have less leverage who will actually have the fight to take it to the GOP in 26 when we w tally have power.

Better to learn this now than be caught off guard later if you ask me …..
Silver lining is Mike Johnson has to come up with new reasons not to release the Epstein files

Need to stop hating ourselves, build momentum to records in 2026, this brings light to major major issues the GOP have now plagued US citizens. The fight is on, but united we stand, divided we fall. Process give take, but no miracles in this round. Many rounds to go until 2026, November. Rise up.

Folks, we need to have a little Civics #101 chat, because apparently the media no longer seems fit to explain to you whats happening.

So quick review:

The House passed a clean CR.

The senate has not passed anything.

Some Dems fuming about this deal.

Sen. Tammy Duckworth:

“I simply cannot, and I will not, vote to do nothing to help protect [ppl who rely on ACA] from Trump’s vindictive and malicious efforts in exchange for a vague promise from the least trustworthy Republican party in our nation’s history."

I’ve voted 7 times to reopen the government in a way that holds Trump accountable for his lawlessness and prevents a health care crisis.

I’m prepared to work toward a compromise, but this “deal” before us does not come close to meeting those terms. Voting NO.

I don't know what the hell Schumer is doing -but CALL YOUR SENATORS! Tell them NO DEAL without an extension of ACA subsidies.

5calls.org is a great place to start. Or the Senate switchboard, or their regional office. If You can't leave a message-send an email, call in a.m.

Senators @durbin.senate.gov and @duckworth.senate.gov, please hear Governor Pritzker. STAND TALL FOR HEALTH CARE. Do not give in!!
This is not a deal — it's an empty promise.

Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families.

Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.
