It doesn’t matter if decades have passed or new information has emerged -- If the EPA goes through with this, it won't be able to revise hazardous air pollution rules more than once when new science shows unacceptable health risks. My latest: www.propublica.org/article/air-...

An ICE agent threw a mom to the ground. You know how she can file a complaint with DHS? SHE CAN'T. Trump closed that office. www.propublica.org/article/home...
On March 21, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem shut down the office and fired most of the 150-person staff. As a result, about 600 civil rights abuse investigations were frozen.

“All the oversight in DHS was eliminated today,” one worker texted after the announcement that they’d been fired.
