Trump's EPA just moved to reverse state and local bans on toxic "forever chemicals" that can lead to birth defects and cancer.  So much for "Make America Healthy Again." www.theguardian.com/environment/202…

Having already spent over $7M backing the right-wing candidate in Wisconsin's Supreme Court election, Elon Musk's Super PAC is now offering Wisconsin voters $100 each to sign its petition against "activist judges." This is what a broken campaign finance system looks like.

The Trump regime is threatening to shut down the Social Security Administration in response to a court ruling blocking DOGE from further infiltrating the agency. If your Social Security check is late or doesn't arrive at all, remember who is to blame.

Social Security Says DOGE Ruling Could Force Agency to Shut Down
The Trump administration is threatening to all but shut down the Social Security Administration in response to a judge’s ruling blocking activities by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency — an action that could delay payments to millions of beneficiaries caught in the middle of the legal battle.

Why have Musk-backed PACs spent $10M on the Wisconsin Supreme Court race? It's not just to uphold WI's abortion ban and gerrymandered maps.  Tesla is suing WI over a state law that hurts its bottom line — a case that could be decided by its Supreme Court. Follow the money.

The richest man in the world calls people who get help from government programs the “parasite class.” But Medicaid’s beneficiaries aren’t parasites. Half of them are children. If we’re talking about people who depend on government, Elon Musk is the biggest “parasite” of all.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

A line item on DOGE's "Wall of Receipts" set off panic inside a federal agency this week. Either the NLRB is losing its regional office in Buffalo, or DOGE is claiming savings it isn't responsible for. Personally, I'd put my money on the latter. www.huffpost.com/entry/nlrb-o...

Taking away funding for crucial federal programs. Firing independent watchdogs. Enriching the private prison industry. Trump's plan for his second term is to make the wealthiest people in America far wealthier and more powerful — including himself.

Trump's first round of tax cuts for the rich added nearly $2 trillion to the debt. Extending them would add another $5 trillion. If we "can't afford" universal health care or paid family leave or basic social safety nets, Trump's handouts to the rich are why.

Trump says he's wants to privatize USPS because it's "unprofitable". Reminder that the Post Office isn't a for-profit enterprise: it's a public service that guarantees everyone in America reliable, affordable, and universal mail service.

Trump's nomination of Gaetz will be the clearest signal yet of whether GOP senators are ready to do his bidding on all sorts of issues. If Trump can get 51 votes for Gaetz, he can get a Senate majority for just about anything — like cutting back Social Security. Be warned.
