Trump officials quietly move to reverse bans on toxic β€˜forever chemicals’ EPA bids to change chemical risk evaluations, which could expose public to higher levels of PFAS and other pollutants

Trump's EPA just moved to reverse state and local bans on toxic "forever chemicals" that can lead to birth defects and cancer.Β 

So much for "Make America Healthy Again." https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/apr/05/trump-pfas-toxic-forever-chemicals

FDA Layoffs Could Raise Drug Costs and Erode Food Safety (Gift Article) Trump cutbacks were supposedly aimed at administrators. But scientists in food and drug-testing labs and policy experts who advance generic drug approvals were also dismissed.

Who lost their jobs at the FDA?

The people who determine if a costly drug is ready to be a generic

The people who test food and drugs for contaminants and deadly bacteria in several labs were let go

The people talking to overseas drug safety regulators to get ahead of foodborne illness & deaths

Some Weather Service Offices Are Delaying or Skipping Storm Surveys At least two Weather Service offices in Kentucky cited the continued threat of bad weather.

At least two offices of the National Weather Service have said they are delaying or skipping sending staff into the field to survey damage from this week’s severe weather, a key step that meteorologists usually use to confirm whether or not a tornado has struck.

Yep, he hates the poor. We tried to tell you. But choosing a golden calf seemed fine to you. I’m sorry for you and much more sorry for those relying on LIHEAP.

The Senate has confirmed Kash Patel, who has published an enemies list identical to Trump's, to serve a 10-year term as FBI Director.

He will be a major cog in Trump's vengeance machine to silence and intimidate critics.

Be warned. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/kash-patel-in-his-own-words

USAID IG fired day after report critical of impacts of Trump administration’s dismantling of the agency | CNN Politics The inspector general of the US Agency for International Development was fired on Tuesday, a day after his office released a report critical of the Trump administration’s efforts to dismantle the agency, a source familiar with the matter told CNN.

On Monday, USAID's IG warned that Trump's agency cuts have made it harder to root out fraud and abuse β€” and that nearly $500M in food was about to spoil due to Trump's foreign aid freeze.

On Tuesday, Trump fired him.

So much for transparency.

Elon Musk’s 20-year-old staffers are not only demanding access to highly restricted information but are also displaying aggressive behaviorβ€”shouting at anyone who stands in their way, resorting to name-calling, throwing tantrums, and even hitting objects in anger.

When you solve for the wrong problem, not only do you not get the solution, you can cause harm. The President wasted water that was being saved for farmers for a PR stunt.

This was harmful, ludicrous, and solved nothing.

I was just outside the Treasury Department where Elon Musk has launched a full scale authoritarian takeover. My message to Musk is simple: get your hands off our money and get the hell out.
