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.

For decades, NASA has been a driver of scientific innovation that benefits our economy and national security. Now, we risk losing that if this Administration continues to gut NASA’s workforce and its budget.

One of the thing CA illustrates is that the coalition that made sure anti-Trump protesters stayed AWAY from Jan. 6 was an incredibly smart preemptive move. They were counting on that to trigger/justify exactly the reaction we are seeing now 1/

The really critical thing to know about the Trump/Musk throw down is that the “Big Beautiful Bill” would explode the debt, exacerbate economic inequality, and cause cruel and grievous harm to the most vulnerable Americans and we really should be talking about that a whole lot more.

The Congressional Budget Office said the sweeping Republican bill to cut taxes and slash federal programs would add $2.4 trillion to the national debt over the next 10 years. Fewer services for the American people, but yet more debt.

The trade talks in Geneva between the U.S. and China yielded greater-than-expected de-escalation in the ongoing trade war, but it won’t be so easy to undo the damage this skirmish has done to U.S. trade credibility and the role of the dollar on the global stage. (via ‪@cfr.org‬)
Analysis: Trump's truce with China on tariffs comes at a cost to U.S. credibility
U.S.-China trade talks in Geneva resulted in a temporary slash of tariff rates, but the ripple effect of this tit-for-tat escalation won’t disappear anytime soon.

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy.

Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media.

That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, and the arts – to prevent us from learning.

From his résumé, Thomas from Tennessee looked perfect. A programmer for eight years—and he’d breezed through a coding test.

In reality, Thomas is a North Korean IT worker, one of many deployed to work remotely for US companies in a global cybercrime op to bankroll the North Korean government.
