Is the regime trying to kill us? At very least they seem indifferent if their policies do exactly that. Gutting environmental protections is death sentence for many and costly for all. Zeldin as head of EPA is a nightmare.

OMG, Speaker Johnson closed Congress, sending our reps home until after mid-term elections to avoid voting on Hegseth's impeachment.
Wouldn't you like to earn $14,000 per month plus MANY fringe benefits for NOT showing up to work? Make the Republican cowards pay in November. Disgusting.

ProPublica found Donald Trump Jr.’s lavish wedding across two private Bahamas islands was secretly funded by a Russian oligarch close associate of Putin. JR is his dad’s closest advisor and he is literally dancing with Russian gangsters. National security issues anyone?

Trump signed EO to drop wolves from endangered status so ranchers can kill them. He also ordered 660 million pounds of foreign mystery beef, foregoing inspections. The FDA just hit a record 19 simultaneous food borne illness investigations. Yuck all the way around. Never a better time to drop beef.
