Trump EPA tries burying another deregulatory turkey on Thanksgiving.

Greenlighting more methane pollution means more smog, more cancer-causing pollutants, and more climate risks.

Keep in mind that most of Trump’s deregulatory moves are still just proposals, not yet tested in court.

Really nuts. Senator Cruz and GOP colleagues are trying to make cars cheaper by making them more dangerous.

Human cost aside, where’s their awareness of the costs of more healthcare, lost income, etc.?

Wanna make owning a car cheaper? Make them more fuel efficient.

“The administration wants to take away Americans’ right to breathe clean, safe air, free from deadly soot pollution,” said John Walke, senior attorney with @nrdc.org, an advocacy group. “The Trump EPA is siding with big polluters, challenging safer standards and asking a court to do its dirty work.”
Trump EPA to abandon air pollution rule that would prevent thousands of U.S. deaths.

“The Environmental Protection Agency will no longer defend Biden-era limits on fine-particle pollution, which causes heart and lung disease.”

The worst EPA ever.

*Cruz control* — or Cruz out of control.

Texas Senator Ted Cruz wants to ditch safety features to make cars and SUVs a few pennies cheaper.

More Americans, including kids, will get hurt and face big medical bills. How does this make America affordable again?

“You can’t prove that Coca-Cola doesn’t cause autism either.”
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

Zohran Mamdani doesn’t make me, an American Jew, feel unsafe.

Having the Coast Guard, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, decide that a swastika isn’t really a symbol of hate? That makes me, an American Jew, feel pretty damn unsafe.

Great look. Sit with MBS to distract from sitting with Epstein.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."
