The EPA just greenlit pesticides laced with PFAS “forever chemicals” for use on kids’ fruits and veggies. Instead of protecting families, the Trump-run agency is letting chemical companies spray cancer-linked toxins on everything from lettuce to potatoes.

In a striking reversal, Donald Trump went from labeling Zohran Mamdani a “communist” and threatening to cut federal funds to embracing the young socialist as he met him in the Oval Office — praising Mamdani’s victory, saying he “thinks he’ll be a great mayor.".

Trump’s so-called “peace” plan for Ukraine? More like appeasement for Putin. Crafted behind closed doors between his envoy Steve Witkoff and Putin’s pals, it demands Kyiv surrender chunks of its own territory, gut its military, and forego NATO.

Oops! Caught on Rumble using her Senate desk for her own consulting business, Meghan Reckling - Michigan State Sen. Lana Theis’ chief of staff - recently resigned. The Senate GOP can spare the "poor Meghan" spin. No witch hunt detected; she was abusing taxpayer time promoting her ballot effort. 1/
