Trump’s EPA is considering overturning a ban on cancer-causing asbestos. A top EPA official involved in the decision once lobbied for the American Chemistry Council – the group who sued to stop the ban. Trump is risking our health so corporations can line their pockets.

Senator Padilla makes an excellent point: if the FBI and Secret Service were willing to physically remove a Senator they had just escorted into the room, force him down on the floor and cuff him because he tried to ask a question What do you think they & ICE do to regular people?

There is literally no argument against Zohran Mamdani that is anywhere in the same realm as serial sexual harassment of government employees and then hijacking $60 mil+ of taxpayer dollars to defend yourself and attack the people who tried to hold you accountable.

While we wait for the Supreme Court to rule in a critical redistricting case from Louisiana, this is what the GOP is up to in Texas and Ohio. Remember the GOP's plan is to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.

The at home assassination of a state lawmaker should be getting a bigger reaction from the President than someone throwing a rock at a Tesla dealership.

Saying there are “too many non-working holidays” on Juneteenth is so on brand for a man who is actively trying to erase Black history. This from the same man who’s wasted over $26 million in taxpayer dollars and spent more than 30 days golfing since January 20, 2025? Please.

30 years ago, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated. I took a lot of heat for this speech. Watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bnd0eSuxu84

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

I just walked into a Trump store in southern Missouri. I picked up a few items and saw that they were made in China. The place was full. I asked loudly if anything in the store was made in America. She said no. For emphasis, I said again, so nothing in the store is made in America? She said no 🤷🏼‍♀️

NEW: A federal appeals court tossed out a redistricting lawsuit filed by tribes in ND, saying they weren't allowed to bring a suit under the VRA — only the DOJ can. That's just the tip of the iceberg of really escalating threats against Native voters. Must-read, quite distressing reporting:

As someone who tracked fake networks (incl. troll farms) for yrs--it has been very frustrating (but, not surprising) to see how many people have been duped by the alt-gov accts on here. The info manipulation does real harm. No political "side" is immune. And no person is immune. Please be careful.

I know you can’t stand either one of these clowns, but please sit back and enjoy Tucker Carlson steamroll Ted Cruz over his Iran ignorance. It’s like watching two snakes fight and still rooting for the venom. Clearly, Tuckums planned this, and Cancun Cruz walked right into his trap.

The TL;DR on Whiskey Pete's testimony before SASC: He admitted he was switching the names of bases back to honor traitors. Markwayne Mullin basically said the invasion of CA is revenge for integration. Whiskey Pete defended promoting an antisemite to be DOD spox.

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”
