Who benefits from this? Fossil fuel industries. Polluters. And we will all pay the price with an unhabitable planet.

Journalists Arrested in Cameroon While Reporting on Trump’s Secretive Deportation Program

The Trump regime is violating court orders and sending people to countries where they have no connection to be held indefinitely. This story should be getting a lot more attention.

Stop calling them detention centers. They are concentration camps and they need to be shut down.

Just called both my Senators to urge them to vote NO on ICE funding. Couldn’t reach a live person which I hope means lots of other voters are calling. #ShutdownICE

EPA eliminates mention of fossil fuels in website on warming's causes. Scientists call it misleading The Environmental Protection Agency has removed references to fossil fuels from its online page about climate change causes.

Former EPA climate advisor Jeremy Symons, now a senior advisor for Environmental Protection Network of former EPA officials, said: β€œIgnoring fossil fuel pollution as the driving force behind the climate changes we have seen in our lifetime is like pretending cigarettes don’t cause lung cancer.”

Starting With Formaldehyde, Trump Administration Reassesses Chemical Risks

It’s time to call your member of Congress and let them know you do not want the chemical lobby rewriting the law. #HealthNotToxics

Do you want the chemical lobby deciding whether you are protected from toxic chemicals like asbestos and PFAS?

I don’t think so.

Veterans protected our country. They deserve to be protected from toxic chemicals.

TCE and PCE exposure have harmed countless service members and families.

This Veterans Day, let’s honor their service not just with words, but with action. EPA must stop delaying the bans on these toxic chemicals.

Here’s a thought: instead of bargaining for ACA tax credits, Dems should demand that the GOP trade in tax relief for billionaires for Medicare for All!

This is a corrupt grift by the Trump regime. Companies and hospitals (many of which rely on H1-B visas to staff hospitals) need to push back NOW!

The Texas Flash Flood Is a Preview of the Chaos to Come Climate change is making disasters more common, more deadly and far more costly, even as the federal government is running away from the policies that might begin to protect the nation.

NEW: The number of extreme weather disasters has jumped fivefold worldwide over the past 50 years, and the number of deaths has nearly tripled.

The recent disaster in Texas is a grim omen of the climate chaos still to come.

It’s Not Just a Constitutional Crisis in the Trump Era. It’s Constitutional Failure | Washington Monthly While Trump defies constitutional norms, Congress remains conspicuously silent and the Supreme Court has abdicated its responsibility.

This is a sad day in America when our highest court in the land says Trump can deport people to dangerous countries with which they have no connection and with no hearing. Utterly lawless and inhumane.

Judge rules EPA termination of environmental justice grants was unlawful EPA cannot "thumb its nose at Congress" by refusing to spend appropriated funds, the judge wrote.

Another big EPA ruling: A federal judge ruled that the EPA had broken the law in refusing to spend $600 million in environmental justice grants from the Biden administration,

This story line is the β€œDo Not Look Up” of chemical policy - so outrageous you’d think it was an SNL skit, but no. Trump’s EPA is poisoning people in more ways than one.
