Make America Healthy Again? If the Trump admin actually cared about our health, they wouldn’t have: • Rolled back 100+ EPA rules • Slashed toxic cleanup funds • Weakened pollution limits • Blocked pesticide bans None of this is based on science, it’s based on the whims of a conspiracy theorist.

For those of you who knew Victoria Brownworth on Twitter, she passed away from cancer yesterday. She was a fearless journalist who reported on AIDS in the 80s (when Reagan was ignoring it), lifted up the LGBTQ community, & rooted out corruption. Her wife, Maddy Gold, died of cancer in 2022.

Have you guys noticed that Trump still hasn’t even mentioned the storms in Kentucky that killed at least 30 people? Republicans are pretty quiet about the lack of response too. Outrage under Biden, silence now that he’s president. That’s how you know he never really cared.
