EPA is terminating more than two dozen protections against air and water pollution. It would overturn limits on soot from smokestacks that have been linked to respiratory problems in humans and premature deaths as well as restrictions on emissions of mercury, a neurotoxin.

Have the DOGE boys gotten around to cancelling a) a single weapons contract or b) a single Elon Musk contract?

Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy is now suggesting that everyone should get measles. Kennedy is advocating contracting measles OVER being vaccinated. Yet another alarming reminder that RFK Jr. is a danger and a failure in his new position as head of HHS. Faced…

Nothing will change until everyone is this angry.

When it started in the 1970s, EPA began Documerica, a landmark photography project to record the state of the environment and efforts to improve it. Over 15,000 Documerica photos are available online as a visual baseline to compare how our environment looked before the EPA. Everyone should see them.

Texas megachurch pastor and former Trump advisor, Robert Morris, was just indicted for raping a 12 year old girl.

Dismantling the Department of Education has nothing to do with improving outcomes for our kids, it’s simply about taking away resources from our public schools.

Kelly: When I was flying in combat over Iraq during the first Gulf War, I didn’t expect that there was a 10-year-old kid sitting in South Africa who would one day become the richest guy in the world and call me a traitor for doing my job. Now, he kind of acts like a 12-year-old kid

More of this, please – 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 ICYMI-this is a must see: Representative John Larson (D) calling out Elon Musk and not holding back… Well done! THANK YOU.

It’s a weird moment in American life, we’re being held hostage by an autocrat who is nakedly corrupt but also just not very smart

Just another way to kick people off social security and make it harder for those eligible to receive them. There won’t be a website, office to go to and nor will there be anyone available to assist over the phone to comply with the SSA being gutted. Garbage 🤬 www.newsweek.com/social-secur...

Completely disappointed in the Philadelphia Eagles for tainting their absolutely historic win by accepting the orange felon’s invitation to visit the White House. Way to sell your souls to the devil cowards.

Hey Lee Zeldin — you gonna let our kids drink sewage water and breathe polluted air to make the 1% richer. This is the GOP way!!! E.P.A. Plans to Close All Environmental Justice Offices www.nytimes.com/2025/03/11/c...

Grok agrees.

Trump…keeping women safe since 1946.

This headline speaks for itself. 🤦‍♂️ This reminds me of how he handled Covid-19. “It will just go away”.

It isn't enough that billionaire megalomaniacs Trump & Musk are working to crash the stock market and your 401k & retirement investments Yesterday, Musk told Fox News they need to "eliminate" Social Security & Medicare, earned benefits you pay (paid) into

Billionaire megalomaniac Musk calling your Social Security and Medicare benefits "entitlements" akin to a "ponzi scheme" and telling Fox News they need to be "ELIMINATED"

I am not from Canada, but Trump can keep that country's name out of his filthy fucking mouth

Absolutely!! @schumer.senate.gov Listen to your damn base!! Or resign and let someone else do your job for you! DO NOT CAVE!! @warren.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

Whew chile! Brian’s raw break down of why it’s so important for the Dem’s in Wisconsin to vote for Susan Crawford for the Supreme Court seat & how Elon is trying to cheat in this race. Check it out! #Voices4Victory #SheShed

Who hangs veterans in need of cancer treatments and/or dangerous mental health challenges out to dry? Apparently Trump & MAGA bosses who cut suicide hotline & are demanding Congress gut the Bipartisan PACT Act #RepublicanCutsHarmVeterans youtu.be/dNkPuZ0gRdI?...

The cover-up… USAID officials were ordered to destroy classified documents, raising concerns about compliance with federal law. An internal email sent to remaining bureau leaders at the agency’s Washington headquarters provided guidance on “clearing our classified safes and personnel documents.”

Here’s what Biden left to Trump. I will keep posting this to help wake up whatever Republicans with a rational mind are left.

Fellow Americans, How about we start hitting them back? TANK TESLA. Cars, trucks, the stock. ALL OF IT.

I’m watching my retirement evaporate and Donald Trump is doing Tesla commercials for his buddy at the White House. If only Donald Trump cared about the finances of common American citizens.

Our party has spent almost a decade retreating, failing to comprehend, understand, or respect the information battlefield. Now? It’s time to stop “being leery” and start being bold. Find the fucking line and hold it. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

Trump and his Republican enablers in Congress talk big about supporting veterans, but their budget tells the real story: cuts, delays, and broken promises. Republican cuts hurt veterans!

Department of Education staff were told today that they had to clear out their offices by 6pm tonight. And the most idiotic people on earth are cheering for this department’s demise without even knowing what it does. This country in the verge of collapse and it’s terrifying.

The Agriculture Department has axed two programs that gave schools and food banks money to buy food from nearby farms and ranchers. Roughly $660 million that schools and child care facilities were counting on to purchase food has been canceled. This will hurt both kids and small, local farmers.

[morning] "OK, sell your stocks now, I am going to threaten more tariffs in an hour." [afternoon] "I am going to announce that the tariffs are on hold. Buy back the stocks at a reduced price before I do." RINSE, REPEAT

You get no say and who we are or what we’ve experienced.

Oh Canada, I adore you.

Are you READY?! 🤚 Let’s. Do. This. 😎✨

Raskin: "This is what Viktor Orban has done in Hungary -- to clear out the civil service with real expert professionals and people devoted to the public interest and replace them with a bunch of party hacks and sycophants to the dear leader."

In a world of Matts, be a Derek.
