Republicans’ pro-pollution agenda exposes the fraudulent MAHA movement

The GOP is making it easier for corporations to spread toxic waste to the masses, all while claiming to “Make America Healthy Again.”

As Republicans peddle propaganda about their purported desire to “Make America Healthy Again,” they’re pursuing a literally toxic agenda, one that’s rolling back anti-pollution measures and putting Americans at risk.

For me, this came to mind last week, when the Trump administration announced that it was rolling back guidelines meant to prevent the spread of “forever chemicals,” which have been linked to cancer and heart disease.

This week, Donald Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency chief, Lee Zeldin, launched what I’d describe as a vocal defense of some forever chemicals, claiming that research is inconclusive and framing the Biden administration’s regulations as too onerous for corporations.

In an interview with Fox News, Zeldin said entities that provide water to the masses deserve “more flexibility to be able to come into compliance,” which sounds like bureaucratic jargon that effectively means companies should have more leeway and not be forced to meet strict standards.
