The Trump administration’s recent announcement that the Environmental Protection Agency will roll back dozens of regulations protecting air and water quality has drawn praise from industry groups and condemnation from environmentalists. But one stakeholder has been conspicuously absent: the self-described health freedom movement known as MAHA.

Stop acting mystified. He's just running a grift going around living off his family name and government checks. He fucked up all those Samoan children and its just going to be a repeat here because he doesnt actually have the credentials, he's just trying to get through life with comfort and any name for himself. Full stop.

Holy fuck am I sick to death of these “oh wow this is so bad how come they’re doing this” articles. Everything that legacy media is doing these days is confirms my desire to avoid it as much as possible.

Really? I thought this was a new insight into MAHA. Also, this was an opinion piece, which isn't the mainstream media, per se.

Politico is browser-cancer. Any better links?

Perfectly readable for me. Use Firefox and the uBlock Origin extension.

Neither of you is wrong. I use those too. But needing them is a sign of a shit website for sure.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:

Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
