Scientists at Trump’s EPA say they are being told to make chemical risks “disappear on paper.” Not to study or manage them, but to make them vanish.
When a safety test on a household chemical shows danger, supervisors reportedly ask to keep shrinking the scenario until the poison looks safe.
They have reassigned senior scientists to paperwork and handed life-and-death risk assessments to staff with less experience. They have installed former chemical industry lobbyists to run the very offices that are supposed to regulate the chemical industry.
A gift to industry, paid for with your family’s health.
They are even throwing out research on how certain chemicals hit certain communities harder, calling decades of established science “DEI.”
You can make risk disappear on paper.
The cancer does not disappear.
The birth defects do not disappear.
The infertility does not disappear.
The kids drinking the water and getting sick do not disappear.
The EPA exists to protect people, not to protect the profit margins of the people poisoning them.
Every American deserves to know what is happening. #TrumpMakesUsSick

The left has one job right now: stop treating authoritarianism like a debate club topic. It is here. It is funded. It is organized. It is wearing a flag pin and thumping a bible.
If you think California is taking a while to count votes, wait until you hear how long the Trump Administration is taking to release the Epstein files…
It is important to understand this one thing: No Republicans actually believe there was fraud in California's voting.
This is all a pretext to sabotage the November elections.
Dr. Oz is attempting to lay the foundation for Republicans to gut Medicaid and Medicare again by calling them programs “of great danger” to the American people.
These people have no health care plan other than taking away yours.
“A mythomaniac is a clinical and literary term for an extreme pathological liar. It describes someone whose lies are grand, deeply embedded in their identity, and told with complete, unbenched confidence.”
Here is Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense, fervently supporting the January 6 rally and promoting false election claims at the Ellipse—the very rally that incited the January 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. (2021)
The DNI does not need to run elections to endanger one. He only needs to help create the predicate.
A memo. A briefing. A selective leak. A fabricated or inflated claim that “foreign actors” are helping noncitizens vote.
That can become the excuse for extraordinary federal action.
Trump Calling Welker “crooked” “stupid” and then the ultimate—“darling”—for asking him what evidence he has that elections are rigged? What is “crooked” is the money for the ballroom, what is “stupid” are the tariffs. And what is “darling” is a first class journalist.
Netanyahu knows Americans are sick of funding Israel’s wars. So now he’s working with Congress to hide military aid inside Pentagon co-production deals.
That means MORE U.S. tax dollars for Israel, with even LESS oversight.
Not gonna happen!
Scientists across the country are expressing alarm as the Trump administration dismantles another tool for understanding how the planet is changing.
Starting this month, more than 900 deep-sea ocean sensors will be pulled out of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans off the coast of Washington, Oregon, Alaska, North Carolina, and Greenland.
Researchers say these are critical ocean observation tools.

Hey media
Not a Platner fan, but why is he a nonstop story and not Ken Paxton's TWENTY indictments by a GOP led-Texas legislature, securities fraud charges and his wife's filing for divorce on "biblical grounds?"
Trump just lashed out at Kaitlan Collins in a disgusting way “corrupt reporter standing right there, never smiles, a young beautiful woman never smiles, I see her standing there with hatred in her eyes.”
Wildly inappropriate. Collins is doing a great job.
It's a five alarm fire! This is exactly what I've been warning people about. Trump is trying to use the postal system to massively disrupt and manipulate voting in the November election.
We have to do everything we can to stop him and I will be fully in the fight.
An appropriate birthday present on my uncle's birthday today. A federal judge ruled that President Trump and the Kennedy Center Board acted unlawfully in renaming the Kennedy Center. The judge held that only Congress can change the Center's name and blocked the planned two-year closure. I know they'll probably appeal and the story isn't over, but for today let’s celebrate a great birthday gift.
Nothing to see here, just a Republican Senator accusing a Democratic Senate candidate of child sacrifice.
But, hey, don’t you dare criticize Trump as that could lead to political violence. 🤷🏽♂️
This is nonsense.
We’re about to give Iran $25 billion with a B.
And we’re punting on the nuclear issue, all to reopen the Strait that was already open before the war started.
And it’s a 60-day ceasefire extension with no clear path to actually ending the war.
