Today is Congress’ deadline to fund the government. While EPA proposed to slash its budget by more than 50%, it has actually *already* cut far more staff than proposed - 25% by EDGI’s count, likely more. EDGI’s @scoutblum.bsky.social and Chris Sellers explain: theconversation.com/trump-admini...
Trump administration is on track to cut 1 in 3 EPA staffers by the end of 2025, slashing agency’s ability to keep pollution out of air and water
Careful research into public information and in-depth interviews has shown the scale of personnel cuts at the Environmental Protection Agency.

Pritzker seems to be the only one warning about this regularly
Pritzker: "One of the reasons Trump wants to send troops into cities is bc he wants to be able to take control of the 2026 elections...if they've got troops in cities, & it becomes a kind of norm for people, then it won't be abnormal for them when they're going to vote having troops at ballot boxes"

Today, we mourn the memory of those we lost on September 11, 2001.

We also come together to honor the brave heroes, like our first responders, who risked their lives that tragic day to save countless others. Their sacrifice can never be repaid.

We will never forget.
