JFC. These people are insane
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 what are called "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

The bill last numbered H.R. 9495 would empower the Treasury Secretary to designate any nonprofit the Secretary wishes to kill a “terrorist supporting organization” and revoke the tax-exempt status on which it depends for survival. Unconstitutional but lethal in the harm it would do while in force.

I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.
It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

After living in a remuddled farmhouse in the middle of a cornfield outside of Rochester, I have landed in an urban environment. Two bars across the street- handy for snow storms. Good pizza on the corner. I am good

It's important to understand what this ad does and why it is so threatening to the Trump admin. It gets to social identity theory, which posits that we have many identities, and the one which is salient in a given context will dictate how we think/behave in a particular situation. 1/
WATCH: After six Democratic lawmakers posted a video urging members of the military not to follow illegal orders, Trump erupted online, accusing them of “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” Sen. Elissa Slotkin, one of the senators in that video, joins Chris Hayes to respond.

Should be a scandal that the Vice President of the United States is yukking it up in an interview with Breitbart, a racist gutter site that used to have a special tag for "Black Crime"
JD Vance: "He's fundamentally a humanitarian, and we've got 8 peace deals at this point. We're working on number 9 and number 10. And I think if he gets number 10, purely for mathematical harmony the Nobel Prize should be awarded to Donald J Trump."

Meanwhile, the American Medical Association is platforming Dr. Oz and silencing all internal dissent by doctors.
They threatened professional retaliation against anyone who protested or showed any signs of disagreement.
At the meeting Oz called Medicaid funding “legalized money-laundering.”

Cassidy: "If she goes and gets 2 types of shampoo & one is a dollar cheaper, she'll get the cheaper one & the other lowers their price. Once you give her the power of making the decision, she's gonna shop -- that begins to save her money and squeezes waste out of the healthcare system."
