Despite RFK Jr's appointment in the Trump administration and an all Republican congress, regulations that keep Americans healthy are nowhere to be found.

In fact, the EPA has quietly revised its website, which for years claimed that PFOA and PFOS had been “phased out” in the US, after a complaint from the watchdog group PEER pointed out the claim was false. The agency now acknowledges that PFOA may still be produced, imported and used, and that PFOS remains in “limited, ongoing uses.” The change highlights the agency’s failure to stop Houston-based Inhance from making plastic container barriers that leach PFOA, a chemical the EPA itself says has virtually no safe level in drinking water and the IARC classifies as carcinogenic to humans. Most of us saw this coming. The current administration does not favor regulations, because they cannot profit off of them. We're tired of it. Early in-person voting is already underway in many states, and Election Day is November 3. This election season, vote with science in mind.
