"In the few months since the second Trump administration began, the federal government’s efforts to control silicosis have been destroyed," David Michaels and Gregory Wagner write:
DOGE Is Bringing Back a Deadly Disease
Cuts to agencies that protect workers’ lungs are going to result in the resurgence of a preventable illness.

On October 10th, 2025, Dayanne was assaulted and kidnapped by masked ICE agents. They gave no reason why.
She is beyond brave for sharing her story and reliving her trauma, in hopes that someone will listen—that there will be change. Do not turn a blind eye to her pain.

DHS is spreading lies about the very people they're supposed to protect. They detained U.S. citizens—none of whom "assaulted or obstructed" officers, but instead, were THEMSELVES assaulted.
Noem and DHS are twisting the story to justify their horrific actions. It's despicable.

George Retes was on his way to work when ICE tear-gassed and detained him for days. Not a single agent tried to verify the fact that George was actually a U.S. citizen.
This Administration is breaking the law. @warren.senate.gov is fighting to stop them and hold them accountable.

But they've rolled back child labor laws and environmental protections, blocked gun safety reform, and spread lies about vaccines that save children from deadly diseases.
