Congratulations to anti-genocide and anti-ICE progressive Brad Lander for defeating AIPAC-beholden incumbent Dan Goldman. We need more Democrats like Brad who are determined to serve the working class people of this country, not the interests of Israel.

After the EPA found that ethylene oxide is 30 times more carcinogenic than previously thought, it updated regulations to protect the people who are most exposed to it.

Now, the agency’s ability to do that for many air pollutants is under threat.

Trump’s EPA Could Limit Its Own Ability to Use New Science to Strengthen Air Pollution Rules

This is Renee Good.

She was a mother of a six-year-old child.

She was an American citizen.

She described herself as a “poet and writer and wife and mom and shitty guitar strummer from Colorado.”

And she was gunned down in cold blood and broad daylight by Trump’s ICE agents.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

Another day, another TEN missed opportunities for the DNC to speak on behalf of Dems about the abomination of the day.

Mark Kelly shouldn’t have to defend himself alone.

The DNC, the national Dem PARTY should be speaking up for him and the other members of Congress all over the place.

WHYYYYY

Apart from personal enrichment, Trump has no strategy, he is a hateful but compliant puppet and a figurehead for larger forces comprised of oligarchs and religious fanatics who agree on their intent to destroy the United States.
