"If the current administration wants to address neurological disorders including autism, reducing exposure to air pollutants, pesticides, and plastics would be a good place to start." - Project TENDR prheucsf.blog/2025/09/23/s...

With a wagging finger, Republicans advance appropriations language favoring pesticide makers.. @thenewlede.bsky.social @foodandwater.bsky.social www.thenewlede.org/2025/07/vote...

Donald Trump is trying to shut down the only federal agency that investigates chemical disasters. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

🆕 After being criticized by the chemical industry (+ allied agribusiness and service industry groups) on the Make America Healthy Again #MAHA report, the #strategy doc, released yesterday, has tamped down efforts to reform gov't programs that regulate #pesticides. #rollback ➡️ Blog: ow.ly/HLjR50WUM6X

When it comes to pesticides, the Trump administration’s MAHA Commission has a serious problem. The Commission’s newly released strategy for addressing childhood chronic disease is better for the pesticide industry than for people. 🧵 www.commondreams.org/opinion/maha...

“If the EPA wants to convince us that our pesticide regulatory process is robust, they should make it robust,” said @loriannburd.bsky.social, the Center's environmental health director in @pbsnews.org ⬇️

NEW: i took a look at new research from @oilchange.bsky.social which finds that taxpayers are on the hook for an additional $4 billion per year in fossil fuel subsidies thanks to the one big beautiful bill:

Time to put children's health above pesticide industry profits. What will it take? @rcscience.bsky.social www.realclearhealth.com/articles/202...

NEW: Last week, oil literally rained down on a Black town in rural Louisiana where 60% of folks live in poverty. The company isn’t taking responsibility & the federal + state governments are saying residents have to clean it up themselves. capitalbnews.org/louisiana-oi...

A national network of grassroots environmental orgs is suing EPA to issue regulations to prevent and contain hazardous substance spills. The suit cites the 2014 Elk River Spill, which left 300,000 West Virginians without drinking water. @tatecurtis.bsky.social wvpublic.org/story/energy...

Imagine living next to a large chemical plant that's emitting toxic air pollution day in and day out. You might not be able to see it, but sometimes you can smell it or even feel it burning your eyes or throat. Traci Donatto lives near not one but dozens of these plants. 🧵

Over half of US counties lack a single federally-monitored air quality station, with more than 50 million Americans living in “air quality monitoring deserts.” @stoptoxics.bsky.social @cleanairclub.bsky.social @cleanaircatf.bsky.social www.thenewlede.org/2025/08/oil-...

Last year, thousands were evacuated in Conyers, Georgia when Bio-Lab caught fire. The Trump Admin wants to eliminate the agency tasked with investigating this incident. TAKE ACTION to save the Chemical Safety Board preventchemicaldisasters.org/take-action

Trump's budget proposal would completely defund the Chemical Safety Board, which still has an open investigation on the Givaudan explosion in #Louisville last year. www.courier-journal.com/story/news/l...

“This isn’t U.S. Steel Clairton Coke Works’ first incident,” Maya Nye, the federal policy director of Coming Clean. “Any time the same facility has repeated disasters, that’s a regulatory failure.” www.levernews.com/before-a-ste...

"This would be the perfect time for this city to strengthen that permit in an effort to reduce our exposure to any of the chemicals coming from Bakelite.There are solutions.The city just needs to have enough will and courage to protect its residents." eu.courier-journal.com/story/news/l...

Purging scientists, waiving pollution laws, slashing health, food and energy benefits, raiding communities, detaining lawful U.S. residents. U.S. environmental health is under attack. Full statement: comingcleaninc.org/latest-news/...

Our Environmental Justice & Health Project Manager Gabby, spoke with Girls Inc. about the Beauty Justice Act and the advocacy being done to remove toxic chemicals from personal care products. You are never too young to know that advocacy is always an option when you need something changed!

Many more polluting facilities can request similar exemptions by sending a single email request to Trump's EPA. Our research shows that of the 532 facilities across the country eligible for the exemption, 9 out of 10 are within 5 miles of a school or daycare center.

Without any input from surrounding communities, Trump's EPA has exempted more than 100 polluting facilities from air pollution regulations, including coal plants, oil refineries, and sterilization facilities.

🚨 At least 10 scientists, all cited in the Trump admin's new climate change report, told me that the report completely mischaracterizes their research. I also found five citations with significant errors, and a paragraph missing an important citation.

@grist.org and Kate Yoder continuing excellent work. On why risking the endangerment finding is a loss for everybody. grist.org/politics/epa...

This National Environmental Policy Act is one of the best ways to ensure the public has a say in federal decisions. The law is now be erode from within as the Trump admin, Congress, and the Judiciary defang its most meaningful provisions.

The Pollution Accountability Act raises fines for commercial polluters and makes sure that money goes to the communities at the fenceline. From @whyy.org An inspiring model for other states. whyy.org/articles/del...

Public pressure to preserve the Chemical Safety Board is working. 💪 Keep it up, tell your elected officials this is important to you. www.safetyandhealthmagazine.com/articles/270...

More than 70% of Americans are concerned about Trump rolling back programs that reduce pollution to protect our health, according to polling from @climatepower.bsky.social climatepower.us/research-pol...

As fires, floods, and droughts destroy communities across the country, the Trump administration is working to undermine the court-affirmed "Endangerment Finding" that empowers the EPA to regulate the harmful greenhouse gas emissions contributing to the intensity & frequency of extreme weather events

Nathan Donley of Center for Biological Diversity declared that "Trump's EPA is hitting new heights of absurdity by planning to greenlight a pesticide that's caused the most extensive drift damage in U.S. agricultural history and twice been thrown out by federal courts." #agsky

On to the #Senate after passage in the House Appropriations Committee of legislation that shields #pesticide companies from lawsuits by those harmed from pesticide produce use, limits states' authority to regulate, and prevents #EPA from regulating #PFAS! #FailtoWarn #TakeAction 📣➡️ ow.ly/PJg450WuhKZ

🚨 BREAKING: Trump’s EPA just announced plans to re-approve #Dicamba, a toxic, drift-prone pesticide already banned twice by federal courts - thanks to lawsuits led by Center for Food Safety and allies.

UCS Senior Analyst Darya Minovi breaks down the report and explains how actions by the Trump administration are harming real people—and how they’ve bypassed public participation processes to benefit corporate polluters. Read her blog:

The Environmental Protection Network says the EPA cuts are deeper than disclosed, and will likely extend to enforcement and program staff, with little transparency on where or how they’re happening. www.environmentalprotectionnetwork.org/35788-2/

In the past six months, the Trump administration has systematically and recklessly undermined federal science. Read our new report here: act.ucsusa.org/Trump6Months

There have been over one hundred chemical incidents this year, including a major chlorine gas leak that forced three towns to shelter-in-place. Soon, there could be no agency charged with investigating them. @careygillam.bsky.social @thenewlede.bsky.social www.thenewlede.org/2025/07/gutt...

NEW: Sen. Cory Booker just introduced the Pesticide Injury Accountability Act, a bill that would allow Americans to sue pesticide giants like Bayer and Syngenta for alleged links to cancer and Parkinson’s. @pesticideaction.bsky.social @beyondpesticides.org www.thenewlede.org/2025/07/pest...

We rarely agree with the chemical industry - but here we're on the same page: Congress should continue to fund the only agency that investigates major chemical disasters. cen.acs.org/safety/indus...

Trump administration officials say the White House has no plans to crack down on pesticides in farming, after publication of MAHA report. Thanks for clarifying- consider us not surprised. In @politico.com
