Trump exempted 202 facilities in 39 states and Puerto Rico from clean-air regulations. Some were among the worst industrial polluters, including chemical, copper and coal-burning producers. About 3.3 million people live within 3 miles of at least one affected plant. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

nytimes.comHow Trump Gave the Worst Polluters a Free PassThe president temporarily waived clean-air rules for industrial facilities that spew cancer-causing gases. Then his appointees worked to gut the regulations altogether.

Unacceptable. Meta took down the No Kings Instagram today and kept it offline for well over an hour. Censoring free speech to appease Donald Trump? We the people deserve answers, but regardless, we will not be silenced.

Trump and Hegseth still haven't admitted that the US military massacred 120 Iranian schoolgirls and 26 teachers in a missile strike at the start of the war. At one point, Trump claimed Iran blew up its own school despite overwhelming evidence that the US did it. Lying murderers run our government.

There is one question for the General Assembly ahead of the coming session: With additional dollars available, are they willing to help Kentuckians? From senior meals to Medicaid, healthcare and more, we will have the resources to make a difference for our people.

We need to be accurate and not stoop to the level of the GOP. It was clear to me what Trump was referring to. He says plenty of stupid stuff we can factually post, so there’s no need to try to twist his already twisted thoughts.

This is being passed around as a total misrepresentation of what he said. Trump was saying - as he often does - that costs for Americans are a small price to pay for preventing Iran from getting nuclear missiles. He was saying ‘let them take out LA or SD’ as an example of what could happen then…

This is stunning. Since Trump took office, households in the top 0.1% have added an average of $9.6 million in net worth. The ultrawealthy gained more than 8,000 times as much wealth per household as the bottom half of the country.

A sickening reminder that hateful rhetoric will never be just rhetoric. Words that attack or belittle people over the color of their skin can also incite the most brutal attacks, especially when they are given official sanction. What an absolute, unmitigated travesty.
