Vitalii Marchenko was just 19 years old. He was on his way to a shopping mall to buy a gift for his girlfriend when a Russian drone strike killed him. A fragment of a Russian drone hit him in the heart and damaged his lungs.

This is why we desperately need #journalism. And why the @nytimes.com (despite its shortcomings) remains the most important news outlet in America. SO much of Trump's corruption makes all of our lives far worse. It's not (just) that he loots our tax dollars. It's things like this:

What we learned is that former petrochemical lobbyists now inside the EPA are meeting with former clients and then moving to force career staff at the EPA to rollback public health protections. We found the actual documents detailing these moves. Smoking guns. (Redlines striking protections)

During this investigation, we traveled to locations around the United States where President Trump has moved to ease pollution rules, including to Port Neches, Tx. where there is a middle school a few blocks from the chemical plant considered by the EPA the largest cancer threat nationwide.

The Trump administration did not ask companies to present an exhaustive case for why they deserved a waiver from these new requirements. It was as easy as sending an email to the E.P.A. and invoking the obscure exemption language in the act, a provision that no president had ever used

As public opposition to data centers (and the dirty energy that powers them) keeps growing, Democrats would be extremely foolish to hand Big Tech developers and the fossil fuel industry a massive sweetheart deal. They should vote NO on the so-called permitting reform bill.

More disappointing results from Donald Trump’s economy: rising unemployment and wages that can’t keep up with skyrocketing costs. While Trump lines his own pockets, America’s working families continue to be left behind.

This is a disgrace, and it directly impacts our military readiness. Some 1,300 Navy family members were evacuated from Bahrain during the Iran war. Months later, families are still displaced, separated from loved ones, struggling financially, and waiting for answers. #SupportTheTroops 🧵
