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.

Here's my set of takes on Biden and his age and ability to do the job.
1) The decision to seek reelection was very obviously the wrong one, and indeed I'd say catastrophically so. *At the time* it may have been defensible but with the benefit of hindsight, it was a terrible mistake.

Families of the imprisoned deportees and their lawyers fear for the safety and futures of these men.

Increasingly few leaders in American life want the responsibility of advocating for thoughtful consideration of ideas before implementation. Musk's bullshit "iterative building" has no place in a working and effective federalism. Success requires a conservative approach yet resistant to gradualism.
The case for conservatism
“Move fast and break things” has no place in government.

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away.
They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

I don't understand this framing. In what sense did the Trump tariffs "work"? Colombia was accepting (commercial) flights of deportees before Trump got into office, without issue. We're basically back to the status quo. apnews.com/article/trum...
Trump's tariff threat worked on Colombia, but his plans for Canada and Mexico carry higher stakes
President Donald Trump has already forced Colombia to accept deportees by threatening tariffs and is readying the same move against Canada and Mexico as soon as Saturday.
