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.

Where is the MAHA outcry?

In 2024 I investigated many similar accounts that posted very similar types of content, claiming to be ‘Trump supporting women’ from the US, but they were fake accounts using images stolen from European influencers.

The findings were reported here 👇 edition.cnn.com/2024/08/28/e...

If the 28-point plan came from Russia and somehow ended up in the hands of U.S. lawmakers, then we don’t have a “leak” problem we have a foreign influence problem. And anyone downplaying that should not be anywhere near national security decisions.

Elon wrecked our politics with DOGE and now his Boring Co is dumping toxic waste in Vegas. Firefighters were burned by the chemicals in his tunnels. He shrugs and keeps going. This is why extreme wealth is a danger. No one should have this much power.

Having lived on a ranch.....I beefily verify.. this is absurd.

The number of meat processing plants & monopolies of stock yards, severe weather impacts, disease & feed issues have led to reducing of herds.

Too many middlemen getting rich.
