The EPA Was Considering a Massive Lead Cleanup in Omaha. Then Trump Shifted Guidance.
The Trump administration says it will speed cleanups, but residents of the largest residential lead Superfund site worry fewer properties will be remediated.

Trump’s DOJ is using secret memos to justify lethal boat strikes, mirroring the Bush-era "torture memos." By redefining drug cartels as military foes, MAGA lawyers are creating a legal shield for extrajudicial killings and bypassing congressional oversight. #NoForeverWars
