This is why you elect competent leaders like Nate, who know what they’re talking about and reach out to experts to learn more, and don’t elect people whose “expertise” is shitposting on X and thus focus on culture war issues
Utah’s dirty air isn’t an accident. Trump’s EPA stopped counting the health costs of pollution & politicians here are trying to shield fossil fuel companies from accountability.

Proud to stand with Brian Moench. We need a strong EPA, a protected federal workforce & clean air that puts people first.

Fox News has groomed a huge swath of your neighbors/relatives/friends to reject empathy, sympathy, education, curiosity, kindness, and tolerance as “woke”

All they’re fed is lies, hatred and resentment

Over at The Bad Place, all the MAGA cultists are repeating the same language now, that she "gunned" the vehicle at him, which is a sad little lie, in addition to being ghoulish for obvious reasons. They all think it somehow empowers them to robotically repeat the same phrases to each other.
