The agency last week approved the use of two new pesticides that qualify as PFAS. Farmers could spread them on crops such as romaine lettuce, broccoli and potatoes.

The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food. The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of PFAS — also known as "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

Nevada regulators have accused Elon Musk’s Boring Co. of nearly 800 environmental violations in the last two years as it digs a sprawling tunnel network beneath Las Vegas for its Tesla-powered “people mover.”

The more I see of the "peace deal" that Trump is demanding Ukraine sign, the worse it looks. Rather than a peace deal, it is a capitulation by not just Ukraine but the USA. The plan is designed to prepare Ukraine for Putin's next invasion while splitting the USA away from NATO.

A few key points:

This plan sets Ukraine up for another invasion and fractures the transatlantic alliance. Buried inside is something else—a blueprint for lucrative U.S.-Russia business deals. This looks less like diplomacy and more like a potential payday for Trump’s network.

A federal judge didn’t “steal” the Commander-in-Chief’s powers—she ruled that DoD exceeded the limits Congress set. That is the rule of law working as designed. What threatens the Republic isn’t judicial review, but officials who insist they’re above it.

The correct answer to MAGA outrage over the Dem video is this: Are you effing kidding me? Of course it's reasonable to warn that Trump might be giving illegal orders.

The evidence is strong that he actually is giving illegal orders! I went through that evidence here:

From the boat bombings to deportations to prosecutions, the evidence mounts. And the speaker of the House could get to the bottom of it if he wanted to. Yeah, right.

The irony of these people complaining about the invented dangers of immigrants and then welcoming brain pollution from overseas hustlers.
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.

My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

Section 111 was written to protect cattle inspectors, not to crush political movements. Yet Trump has weaponized this dusty bureaucratic statute, turning minor scuffles into federal felonies. Legal alchemy that transforms a workplace safety rule into a calculated bludgeon against legitimate dissent.
The Trump Administration’s Favorite Tool for Criminalizing Dissent
Federal prosecutors have charged more than 100 people with Section 111 violations. Was their crime anything more than opposing Trump’s immigration policies?
