Trump's claims of wiretapping turn out to be Kellyanne Conway playing a game of telephone.

The Interior Secretary repeals the ban on lead bullets.  We need to do something with the extra lead that’s going to be in our water.

One of my friends for over 50 years sent me an email that I have permission to include here.  These are actual Republican bills introduced in this session of Congress:

1. HR 861 Terminate the Environmental Protection Agency
2. HR 610 Vouchers for Public Education
3. HR 899 Terminate the Department of Education
4. HJR 69 Repeal Rule Protecting Wildlife
5. HR 370 Repeal Affordable Care Act
6. HR 354 Defund Planned Parenthood
7. HR 785 National Right to Work (this one ends unions)
8. HR 83 Mobilizing Against Sanctuary Cities Bill
9. HR 147 Criminalizing Abortion (“Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act”)

I’d like to add some add a few more of them:

10. HR 1343 Revising rules increasing the threshold amount for requiring certain financial disclosures

11. HR 1264 Exemption from Rules and Regulations of the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection
12. SB 452 Delay enforcement of National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Ozone
13. HR 1454 Exemption of certain 16 and 17 year olds from child labor laws.
14. SB 488 Raise the SEC threshold in which securities issuer has to give additional disclosures from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000

 

So, if the Republican Congress has its way:  Our air and water will be polluted, there will no longer be public education, our wildlife will disappear, millions will be without healthcare, women will no longer be able to obtain healthcare at Planned Parenthood, unions will be banned, cities will be unable to protect their own citizens, legal abortion will no longer exist under any circumstances, investors will be screwed, and kids will be treated like slaves.  Welcome to the Republican vision for America.
