The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the chemical industry.

This is why you always follow the money.

The EPA has approved two new pesticides with "forever chemicals" that will be used on food.

The agency has also announced plans for four additional approvals.

The approved pesticides will be used on vegetables such as romaine lettuce, broccoli and potatoes.

The GOP desire to enact a provision allowing senators to sue the Department of Justice (DOJ) over surveillance is rooted in their desire to place themselves above the law

What's been done to Kilmar Abrego Garcia is immoral and certainly not in keeping with the teachings of Jesus Christ or Leviticus 19:33-34

ICE is using a new app called Mobile Fortify to scan people's faces and determine their immigration status.

The government's use of biased, unreliable facial recognition tech to supercharge its mass deportation campaign endangers all of our rights.

Yes, sadly, the Biden Presidency is ultimately a failure because he allowed Trump to return to power and undo ALL the good Biden did - at this point, nothing of importance from the Biden Admin remains. Also, if Pam Bondi is the worst AG ever, then Merrick Garland is right behind her at #2
More than one thing can be true at a time. The Trump regime blaming Biden for everything is ridiculous AND the Biden administration could’ve done more to prevent us from being in this situation right now.

What Pam Bondi and Lindsey Halligan did was not incompetence. It was intentional misconduct. They both must be disbarred.

This is why several retired Generals and Admirals need to get together and make the exact same type of video with the exact same message that Mark Kelly and his colleagues made
Retired 4-star Army General Barry McCaffrey said the Pentagon's threats to Sen. Mark Kelly are making the U.S. start to look like the government of North Korea.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is resigning because she's stunned to find out that Trump is the scum that he is and because of death threats made to her family

No one can take the death threats lightly because people on both sides have been murdered

And Donald Trump likes it that way

The cases against James Comey and Letitia James have been dismissed because, like it's been everywhere else, everything MAGA is an incompetent, boneheaded clown show

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.

Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.

Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now.

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.
