Citizen led movement against cancerous chemicals. We lost the fight against ethylene oxide air pollution protections here due to a few corrupt IL Democrats

Reminder to those who honestly thought @RFKJr_Official cared about the little people. Nah, he’s only ever cared about billionaires who pretend to care about every day people as they profit off their sickness & deaths. Some #cabinet member.
To those applauding Robert F. Kennedy Jr ☠️he gave a Ripple of Hope Award in 2019 to this billionaire polluter. Her company released #cancerous ethylene oxide into the air. They’re being sued by innocent victims. theintercept.com/2019/05/07/…

#iowa has a high cancer rate yet they keep electing this #corrupt 92 year old #politician. He’s been in Congress for over 50 years.
Senator Chuck Grassley from Iowa got triggered today over the thought of lower pesticide use. It didn’t take long to discover why. Grassley receives over $500k from the agribusiness industry and $700k from the healthcare industry. This was my shocked face when I found out the chemical giant, Dow Chemical, funds his campaign 😐

Another day another example of #politicians bought off by chemical companies. Pfas in our food, EtO #pollution in our air. Bipartisan killing of America to feed the insatiable #greed & #power & #CORRUPTION of #billionaires & politicians. None of you deserve to be re-elected.
How to #MAHA Trump officials set to approve "forever chemical" as pesticide ingredient. The substance would be sprayed on corn, soybeans and wheat, and marks the 5th Pfas pesticide ingredient Trump's EPA has proposed for approval. Pfas are a class of about 16,000 compounds most frequently used to make products water-, stain- and grease-resistant. They have been linked to cancer, birth defects, decreased immunity, high cholesterol, kidney disease and a range of other serious health problems. They are dubbed “forever chemicals” because they do not naturally break down in the environment. During his 2024 campaign, Trump and his ally and now health secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr, promised to rein in the use of dangerous pesticides, but the EPA has instead loosened oversight. theguardian.com/environment/…

Corrupt Octogenarians no longer deserve a place in Congress #CORRUPTION #old #TermLimits
2018: Mitch McConnell stands in a Kentucky hemp field. "This is the future of Kentucky agriculture," he tells farmers. "Plant hemp. Trust me." 2025: Those same farmers are about to lose everything. Because McConnell took $73,000 from a whiskey executive. This is what betrayal looks like 🧵

While you’re at it your healthcare shouldn’t be funded after you leave office and Congress should have term limits. #governmentshutdown2025 #GovernmentShutdown
What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. I’m introducing two bills tomorrow to stop Congress from getting a paycheck during the shutdown.

Are we really surprised given the level of consistent #corruption residents face at hands of #Illinois #Democrats? Pension not funded. #pritzker likely looking at a run for #President meanwhile his state is messed up. Frankly it’s exhausting 😑

The hypocrisy. In 2021 Pritzker signed into law the IL Congressional Redistricting act of 2021, establishing new districts giving Democrats the edge. Illinois has some of the most corrupt politicians in the US, both parties, check conviction rates. Illinois is NOT the answer
BREAKING: Governor JB Pritzker just slammed Donald Trump and Greg Abbott for trying to cheat their way to electoral victory. They know they are going to lose, and now they are trying to cheat. Good on Pritzker for calling out their BS.

In 2021 Governor Pritzker signed into law IL congressional Redistricting Act of 2021 which established new district boundaries and is in no position to call out Texas politicians. Illinois has some of the most corrupt state politicians. Look it up. Start with Mike Madigan.

Until fatcat corporate executives get criminally prosecuted for basing decisions solely on financial gain that ultimately lines their pockets this type of behavior will continue and innocent people will continue to pay the price. Both political parties are complicit.
The DOJ isn’t planning to prosecute Boeing in a case tied to two crashes of the aerospace giant’s 737 Max, a person familiar with the matter says, which would allow Boeing to avoid a guilty plea. nbcnews.com/business/busines…

Thanks for trying to support better ethylene oxide legislation, your team was always respectful. In the end it wasn’t nearly enough & chemical companies still rule due to a lack of real #Democrat support, both at #Illinois state and federal level.
The decision of whether to run for re-election has not been easy. I truly love the job of being a United States Senator. But in my heart, I know it’s time to pass the torch. So, I am announcing today that I will not be seeking re-election at the end of my term.

When will the US govt step in and stop allowing these harmful chemicals in skincare and makeup? Chemicals banned in EU as harmful are allowed in the US. #greed #fda #Dangerous @RobertKennedyJr

You’re kidding, right? Most @illinoisdems except for a select few are so corrupt they make Russia look like amateurs. Lower our taxes and return the money you stole from us.

So when are the thieving @illinoisdems going to lower our outrageous property taxes because the truth is Madigan raised them to steal from us #corrupt #democrats #illinois
BREAKING: Mike Madigan, the longest-serving state House speaker in U.S. history, has been found guilty of bribery, conspiracy and wire fraud

Congress takes money from chemical companies and food and gun industries too. Both parties are complicit for the problems every single American is facing
Holy SHIT! RFK Jr. just called out Bernie Sanders straight to his face! “Bernie, you know, the problem of corruption is not just in the federal agencies. It's in congress too.” “Almost all the members of this panel are accepting, including yourself, are accepting millions of dollars from the pharmaceutical industry.”
