Trump Hates the Troops. The Troops Are Taking Notice.
The administration is desperately trying to spin the hopeless war in Iran as a success, but our service members and their families are telling a different story.

Defeating Trump just to go back to business-as-usual won't be enough. We need to hold him and his cronies accountable for breaking the law. Then we need to clean up the corruption in Washington to guarantee our government can never be hijacked again. That’s what I’m focused on.

Just the story of his name is one of the coolest things of all time
think about my father being called
"boy", my uncle being called "boy", my brother, coming back from Vietnam and being called "boy". So I questioned myself: "What does a black man have to do before he's given respect as a man?" So when I was 18 years old,
when I was old enough to fight and die for my country, old enough to drink, old enough to vote, I said I was old enough to be called a man. I self-ordained myself Mr. T, so the first word out of everybody's mouth is "Mr."

They essentially eliminated all requirements to protect groundwater from radioactive waste
(Original text)
PROTECTION OF DRINKING WATER AND GROUND WATER
Ground water must be protected from radiological contamination, to ensure compliance with dose limits in this Order and consistent with ALARA process requirements. To this end:
(i) baseline conditions of the ground water quantity and quality are documented;
(ii) potential sources of , and potential for, radiological contamination are identified and assessed;
(ill) strategies to control radiological contamination are documented and implemented;
(d) Monitoring methodologies are documented and implemented; and
(e) Ground water monitoring activities are integrated with other environmental monitoring activities.

(Trump version)
GROUND WATER
Consideration must be given to avoiding or minimizing potential radiological contamination of groundwater from NE-authorized nuclear facilities and radiological activities, to ensure compliance with public dose limits in this Order. To this end:
(i) baseline conditions of the ground water quantity and quality may be considered;
(ii) potential sources of radiological contamination may be identified;
(ill) strategies to control radiological groundwater contamination may be developed, as appropriate;
(iv) monitoring may be implemented, as appropriate, and integrated with other monitoring activities.
