Trump's EPA says isocycloseram, a PFAS or “forever chemical," is safe for use on dozens of crops, including potatoes & citrus fruits.

The EPA states, *in its own memorandum* (is.gd/xw9Zbu) that potential dangers include "reduced testicle size, lower sperm count, & liver toxicity." 😳

Republicans will blame Democrats for the shooter. Don't let them.

Democrats:
- allowed Afghans to seek refuge after aiding the U.S. and fleeing the Taliban

Republicans:
- approved shooter's refugee status in April 2025
- allowed shooter to access a gun
- placed NG soldiers in the line of fire

He is truly pathological. As his numbers tank over high prices and people see this project as an example of his narcissism, Trump is just going all in. He wants a bigger ballroom.
