Tax breaks for the rich.
Bombs for blowing up brown people in scary foreign lands. Yanno, important stuff.
This is acutally terrifying - the ORD has been the backbone of evidence-based environmental policy since the 70s and without it we're basically flying blind on everything from air quality standards to emerging contaminants like PFAS.
while this doesn't directly relate to what RFK is doing at HHS, the juxtaposition just highlights how big of a hypocritical shitheel he is (and, by extension, Trump). He spent a good chunk of his career doing decent environmental protection legal work, but completely sold out to Trump so he could go on his health pseudosciece crusade.
"Let's remove fluoride from water! Let's require impossible double blind trials for flu vaccines! Let's ban red food dye! These chemicals are dangerous and need to be held to the highest possible scrutiny!"
"EPA what? who needs that shit?"

You guys are fucked. You have like 3.5 years remaining with this thing at the head of your country.
