The Trump administration's message is unmistakable: hand over sensitive data or your most vulnerable residents, including children, vets & the elderly, will go hungry. What a basket of deplorables.

I see. So the two survivors clinging to the smoldering wreckage somehow had the entire country right where they wanted us.

Trump's own Labor Dept: There is no "safe" level of #asbestos exposure for any type of asbestos fiber. Asbestos exposures as short in duration as a few days have caused #mesothelioma in humans. www.osha.gov/asbestos

Independents as this point "despise him." I love this guy.

And that quack at HHS, too.

America’s largest meat company, Tyson Foods, can no longer claim its beef is ‘climate-smart’ or that it will reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Sophie Kevany reports:

The change from yesterday’s webpage to today’s is shocking. The official advice on the #CDC's website on #vaccines & #autsim is now that of a quack & could very well kill people.

“The difference is this year industry sees an historic opportunity,” said Suhani Chitalia of @envdefensefund.bsky.social, warning that the EPA’s proposed #TSCA changes reflect a political climate more sympathetic to chemical companies. www.thenewlede.org/2025/11/epa-...

Elon Musk is set to make more than every U.S. elementary teacher combined

On brand.

Tyson Foods folds. Will no longer push false greenwashing claims its beef production is combating climate change.

Is the President of the United States a pedophile, is now a serious question.

Hot shit! Yee Haw! Right On @theswinerepublic.bsky.social!

 ‘Out of control.’ Fresno industries, residents divided over PG&E’s latest rate hike proposal fresnoland.org/2025/11/07/p...

@exposeutilities.bsky.social & other advocates will be on hand for a "listening session" hosted by California electricity regulators to hear from Fresno-area residents about PG&E's massive rate hike proposal. #StoptheStamp. Details can be found here: tinyurl.com/55whs8ky

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

In my nearly 30 years in Washington, during both Republican and Democratic administrations and multiple budget showdowns with Congress, I never thought I’d see headlines like these.

The Trump administration is suing so they don’t have to pay for food stamps. Happy almost thanksgiving!

How much did Trump charge

“When you take a wrecking ball to the federal government, you are going to wind up undermining important government functions that keep all of us safe, especially our food,” he said. “It’s only a matter of time before people die.” - EWG's Scott Faber.

I love a good lede. "Republicans were left reeling on Wednesday after voters swung decisively against them, setting off fears that President Trump and his low approval ratings would again drag down the party’s midterm candidates."

Nice little Speakership you have there, Mike. Be a shame if something were to happen to it…

@podsaveamerica.crooked.com, 'Soy Boy' Scott Bessent collected more than $60K in taxpayer-funded farm subsidies during Trump's 1st trade war w/ China. He stands to haul in more if another bailout is in the offing. farm.ewg.org/persondetail...

#BigFood vs. #MAHA: Will #RFKJr & his movement stand with families fighting for food safety — or side with industry giants like General Mills & PepsiCo trying to block state laws?

“Their stamps are almost certainly worn to nubs, the ink pads are bone dry, while Californians are left footing the bill. We figured they could use a fresh set.” @exposeutilities.bsky.social

Their "radical base" of Americans who want affordable health care?

Here’s the thing: when the government becomes the "utility’s best friend” as @davidpomerantz.bsky.social rightly points out, then the proverbial fox is watching the hen house.

From the Dept. of Labor: "The near total cessation of the inflow of illegal aliens combined w/ the lack of an available legal workforce, results in significant disruptions to production costs & threatening the stability of domestic food production & prices for U.S consumers." tinyurl.com/5eye65c6

A recent investigation from @npr.org uncovered SCE transmission line failures in Altadena, potentially starting the deadly January 7th wildfire. Meanwhile, residents throughout SCE’s territory are facing increased rates this month.

San Diego families already pay some of the highest electricity rates in the country — and it’s no accident. @SDGE’s parent company, @Sempra, continues to post massive profits while customers are left choosing between bills and basic needs.

Who should foot the bill: ratepayers or shareholders? California regulators rubber-stamped SCE’s plan to hike electricity rates to fund wildfire mitigation, even as aging power lines continue to endanger communities.

Instead of sticking customers with the bill, it’s time to invest in a more resilient, consumer-focused energy system that doesn’t depend on fragile, fire-prone wires.

Like many landmark environmental & public health laws, this pioneering plan to eliminate "the worst of the worst" ultraprocessed foods from school lunches begins in California. Thank you Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel, @governor.ca.gov.

Corn is the most nitrogen-fertilizer-intensive crop in the U.S. & accounts for more than 2/3 of all nitrogen fertilizer use nationwide. Nitrogen fertilizer is applied to crops & interactions in the soil turn it into #nitrousoxide, a greenhouse gas roughly 300X more powerful than CO2. #climatechange

Six surgeons general: It’s our duty to warn the nation about RFK Jr. "We took an oath to declare dangers when we found them. We’re doing that again today." www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

For those wondering how #RFKJr & others helped turn anti-vaccine conspiracies into federal policy under Trump, the roots trace back nearly 30 years to disgraced doctor Andrew Wakefield’s fraudulent study falsely linking #vaccines to #autism - exposed as a hoax by author & journalist Brian Deer.

The swamp.

With roughly 500,000 U.S. #soybean farmers, Trump’s $10B bailout plan would average $20K each—but history shows most of the money goes to the biggest, richest farms, as it did in the last trade war with China.

Trump and GOP leaders need Democratic votes to bail out #soybean farmers crushed by the disastrous trade war with China.

I'll say it again. Trump repeatedly promised another trade war with China if re-elected. Yet, the vote in farm country went for him by nearly 80% in 2024 - slightly more than he received in 2020 after his 1st trade war w/ China, which was also a disaster for farmers. Wake up!
