Day 1 of Trump's Presidency... and all the days that follow

🧵🧵🧵The war on MAHA continues as the EPA attempts to eliminate ALL federal limits on several forever chemicals in your drinking water.

On the heels of the executive order issued for the executive branch to do everything possible to protect glyphosate manufacturers from lawsuits when their poison causes cancer, the EPA is now attempting to remove all limits from several forever chemicals in drinking water.

That’s right… they aren’t just raising the limits -they are officially eliminating federal limits on several PFAS [forever] chemicals.

I explain more and what they do in the thread below.

Yours Truly

May 18
The Environmental Protection Agency on Monday proposed repealing limits on four types of “forever chemicals” in drinking water, while delaying regulations on two others.

Shortly after President Donald Trump took office, the EPA signaled its plans to rescind the 2024 protections against per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, known as PFAS. More than a year later, the agency has issued its formal proposal.

“If finalized, the EPA’s proposal would end the Biden-era drinking water limits for four toxic PFAS compounds: GenX, PFHxS, PFNA and PFBS. The agency said in a statement that it would evaluate those PFAS and issue new regulations, while stating it “cannot predetermine the outcome” of that process.

It will also allow utilities to opt in to extensions of up to two additional years to comply with limits on the amounts of two other prevalent compounds, known as PFOS and PFOA. The EPA had started the process earlier for regulating those chemicals, which are among the most studied PFAS.

“PFAS are used in a variety of products like nonstick pans and firefighting foam and have been linked to cancer, immune system problems and infertility. They are called forever chemicals because they can take years to break down in the environment.

All 50 states have recorded levels of PFAS in drinking water above the EPA standards, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council. Numerous communities around the country, such as those in North Carolina along the Cape Fear River, have battled for years to clean up man-made chemicals in drinking water sources.

When the Biden administration finalized the first-ever national, legally enforceable drinking water standards for PFAS in 2024, the EPA estimated the regulations would reduce exposure for about 100 million people across the United States

Re the whole 'crying over Massie' business.....

Bottom line - Trump is the current Captain of the American Ship....(with solid support) - Massie ignored that basic fact and thought he could go his own way on some major policies (ie Iran) - this was mutiny and the Captain has put him in his place....

Massie: I would have come out sooner but I had to call my opponent to concede and it took a while to find him in Tel Aviv

Interesting that just before he delivered that line - he did the classic body language 'tell' of touching his nose - indicating (it is said) tension - anxiety and/or lying - - - I'm thinking that Massie was putting on a brave face, a very brave face, and had planned that line OR had been fed that line and was required to deliver it for maximum publicity and effect... and that made him tense - but he did it and hey presto.....it was broadcast far and wide....

As a Canadian who's posted many comments critical of I$rael on social media, I know that I need to stay away from USA like my life depended on it. They'd put me in jail the moment I step into the country. Looks like folks from many other countries feel the same.

You are way more likely to be locked up in Canada, where hate speech has been criminalized  in response to the distribution of antisemitic inflammatory propaganda targeted at Jewish communities, than in the USA, where hate speech is protected no matter how vulgar or offensive. Regardless of what happened to Jasmime Mooney (see below), thinking that the powers in America are inspecting your comments and are ready to pounce the second you cross the border because you’ve criticized Trump, the U.S.A., or Israel reveals a dangerously inflated level of self-importance. I hate to break it to you, but none of our keyboard social media warrior antics are going to get anyone locked up. Your fear of reprisal is a sign of an ego on par with Trump himself. Honestly, take the short trip south, your rants are NOT the national emergency you think they are.

Maybe you haven't heard about this, but many Canadians have actually been detained without charge in ICE prisons for extended periods of time, and in terrible conditions. Many are still behind bars. Here's just one example:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...e_iOSApp_Other
I’m the Canadian who was detained by ICE for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
"I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation, despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky"
(full article at the above link)

There is more to the Jasmine Mooney case than meets the eye. She was not detained due to social media comments about Trump, the United States, or Israel. She attempted to enter through the southern border against her lawyer's advice. Her TN-Visa application had already been flagged due to the fact that she was in the hemp-infused holy water business. She had stacked her own cards against herself before she ever arrived; not taking the advice of her attorney was a death knell. Regardless, she probably should not have been detained, but we may never know the full story, and her case is uniquely uncommon.

There are many different reasons that Canadians are being held in ICE facilities but according to info from ICE which was anyalzed by The Globe and The Mail, 70% of them have criminal records or pending criminal charges. The vast majority of the other Canadians being held in ICE facilities are due to immigration violations such as overstaying visas, working without proper authorization, or using improper and fake documents.

These immigration problems are not unique to the USA; many non-Canadian citizens are being held in Canadian border or immigration detention facilities. According to the most recent data from the CBSA, in the 2023-2024 fiscal year, a total of 4,929 foreign nationals were detained in Canadian Immigration Holding Centers.  However, this data does not break down the number by nationality, so it is not possible to determine how many of those were American citizens. Because there is no cap on the total duration, individuals can be held in these detention facilities for months or even years. This is pretty standard stuff worldwide

What is the silver lining in today's devastating defeat of American hero Thomas Massie in his primary against a 100 percent AIPAC funded astroturf candidate?
We are all depressed, those of us who love our country.
But the silver lining is that all of America - especially younger America which is the future - understands that we are Israeli occupied territory, as our idol Patrick Buchanan warned us more than 30 years ago.
Congress sends that ****ty little country billions and they spend millions hiring all the Beltway prostitutes to do their bidding in think tanks and PR firms and and in media and in the Pentagon and in the military industrial complex.
The parasites. Robbing us to propagandize us.
Their goal is to purchase 535 US Representatives. And they have succeeded.
Until now.
Bankruptcy is slow slow slow and then all of a sudden. As was the collapse of the Berlin Wall and communism.
The same is true about the realization that we are under the control of a foreign power. Like Eastern Europe under the Soviet yoke.
@RepThomasMassie
's loss is a win.
Real America wakes up to understand that we are no longer America. We are slaves to a foreign master whose parasitic fangs originate inTel Aviv but extend into the heart of the "patriotic" movements in the United States. Who are all paid with the tax money stolen from us to underwrite the parasitic power.
It is the most corrupt arrangement in history. And the young people in the US understand it well.
Radicalize yourselves against occupation, young America

To respond to this portion of above post #2767 by Rgray, quoting:

"You are way more likely to be locked up in Canada, where hate speech has been criminalized in response to the distribution of antisemitic inflammatory propaganda targeted at Jewish communities, than in the USA, where hate speech is protected no matter how vulgar or offensive. Regardless of what happened to Jasmime Mooney (see below), thinking that the powers in America are inspecting your comments and are ready to pounce the second you cross the border because you’ve criticized Trump, the U.S.A., or Israel reveals a dangerously inflated level of self-importance."

That's quite the distortion of reality.

First of all, both major parties in Canada (Liberal and Conservative) have been heavily infiltrated by the zionist lobby years ago, and serve Israel's interests as much as they can get away with it. They have failed to address Israel's genocide of Palestinians. They even implemented policies oppressing pro-Palestine protesters. I know of at least one specific example of a Canadian politician who was charged and imprisoned for several days for criticism of zionism, criticism that had no violent content.

I'm not aware of any "anti-semitic propaganda targetting jewish communities" in Canada as you claim. It's really not a thing in Canada. But perhaps you, Rgray, make that claim because you view any criticism of zionism or Israel's genocide of Palestinians as 'anti-semitic'?

Secondly, I never claimed that USA authorities are specifically surveilling my online comments. However, it's most likely that the USA has now begun to collect through AI surveillance all online commentary FROM THE WORLD OVER, and is storing it in AI data centres in the USA, to be retrieved at opportune occasions like background checks of persons seeking entry at the USA border.

At this time, USA border agents have the authority to search the contents of anyone's phone who seeks entry at the USA border, and deny them entry if they don't like that content:

"you can refuse a search, but officers can deny you entry to the U.S. They could also seize the phone and try to unlock it themselves or detain the traveller for several hours."

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/canad...r-phone-search

And what about this:
https://www.uscis.gov/newsroom/news-...r-antisemitism

"DHS to Begin Screening Aliens’ Social Media Activity for Antisemitism
Release Date 04/09/2025
WASHINGTON— Today U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will begin considering aliens’ antisemitic activity on social media and the physical harassment of Jewish individuals as grounds for denying immigration benefit requests. This will immediately affect aliens applying for lawful permanent resident status, foreign students and aliens affiliated with educational institutions linked to antisemitic activity."

I've also seen many online report by travellers from Europe who were trying to visit USA, but were denied entry:
https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/us-tra...ions-1.7489525
European visitors to U.S. surprised by denial of entry, dayslong detentions
Germany, U.K. have have revised travel advisories to the U.S. recently
The Associated Press · Posted: Mar 21, 2025

"Since U.S. President Donald Trump took office, there have been several high-profile incidents of tourists and visa holders being stopped at U.S. border crossings, or being held for weeks at American immigration detention facilities.
In recent weeks, Britain has revised its advice for citizens traveling to the U.S., to include a warning that anyone found breaking its entry rules could face arrest or detention.
Germany this week updated its travel advisory for the U.S. to emphasize that a visa or entry waiver does not guarantee entry for its citizens after several Germans were detained at the border recently, a Foreign Ministry spokesperson said."

Another question for you Rgray, what do think of Trump himself stating that he would revoke the USA citizenship of those who criticize Israel. How does this reflect on free speech in the USA?

It's not a distortion of reality because I took the time to actually look up and read Canadian law (which I found moderately interesting). The paragraph you quoted above was me paraphrasing the Canadian Criminal Code with a bit of editorializing .

If you wish to read the material, you can find Canada's laws on hate speech and antisemitism in the Federal Criminal Code, specifically in Sections 318 and 319.

• Section 319(1): Makes it an offence to publicly incite hatred against an identifiable group if it's likely to lead to a breach of the peace.
• Section 319(2): Criminalizes the wilful promotion of hatred against an identifiable group through public communication (excluding private conversation).
• Section 319(2.1): Added in 2022, this specifically criminalizes the wilful promotion of antisemitism by condoning, denying, or downplaying the Holocaust.
• Section 318: Criminalizes advocating or promoting genocide.

The distribution of antisemitic inflammatory propaganda targeted at Jewish communities is something that happened in the past, part of Canadian history, which prompted the criminal code to be made law. There is nothing specific that I was referring to.

The point I am making is that when you look at the laws of the USA and Canada side by side and consider the content of your posts, you are much more likely to be arrested in Canada than in the USA. That is not an emotional statement; that is simply a fact.

Say what you will, you can have the last word I am not going to respond to this issue again.

Massie's stance against data centers should win him lots more support once enough people realize what a danger they are (and how much Trump is in support of them). See:

US President Donald Trump personally invests millions in data center industry firms
President's portfolio could be conflict of interest, critics claim
May 19, 2026
By Matthew Gooding/Have your say
https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/e...ndustry-firms/

"US President Donald Trump has bought millions of dollars worth of shares in data center industry firms this year, newly released financial records reveal.

The 113-page public financial disclosure from the president details hundreds of publicly-traded companies he has taken a stake in during 2026.

As well as a host of tech stocks, Trump’s portfolio includes data center power and cooling firms Trane and Eaton. On March 17, he purchased between $1 million - $5m worth of shares in each company.

These are among Trump's largest purchases of the year so far. He had previously made five smaller investments in Eaton, and four in Trane, since the turn of 2026.

Also counting Trump as a shareholder is colo giant Equinix. The record shows that on February 10 he bought between $500,000 - $1 million of shares in the data center operator.

Trump’s share portfolio is enormous, and includes many of the biggest names in tech, including GPU maker Nvidia, and the hyperscalers.

Critics have claimed his financial position in these companies represents a conflict of interest, with the values of the firms being heavily influenced by government policy, regulation, and, in some cases, Trump’s personal stance towards them.

Newsletter Popular Information notes that Trump purchased between $25,000-$50,000 of shares in memory chip maker Micron Technologies on March 25. The following day, he appeared on Fox News show The Five, describing Micron as “one of the hottest companies.”

In a statement to USA Today, the Trump Organization, the president’s company, said his accounts are managed by third-party financial institutions without his input.

The statement said: “Neither President Trump, his family, nor The Trump Organization plays any role in selecting, directing, or approving specific investments.

“They receive no advance notice of trading activity and provide no input regarding investment decisions or portfolio management of any kind.”"

(Regardless of the latter disclaimer, Trump is pushing hard for data centers and ignoring the many hazards, which extend far beyond the amount of energy they use.)

Bessent's "No Excuses" Bombshell: Trump's Treasury Just Cornered LONDON, Not Iran

02:17 The London Addresses Hiding in Plain Sight
04:53 The British Foreign Office Files: Three Chapters, Three Operations, One Empire
08:49 Taking Down Dope Inc

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s “No Money for Terror” message at the G7 is framed as sanctions on Iran, but Susan argues the real warning is aimed at allied “excuses” enabling terror financing through shell companies in Europe, shadow banking in the Middle East, and cartel networks.

Reviewing recent OFAC designations, Susan Kokinda highlights multiple entities with London-linked addresses and UK jurisdictions, presenting them as evidence pointing to the City of London’s financial role.

She then cites the White House’s new counterterrorism strategy naming the Muslim Brotherhood as the root of modern jihadi groups, and claims British intelligence historically built and used Brotherhood networks, citing Robert Dreyfuss and Mark Curtis and noting UK Foreign Office secrecy over recent contacts. Finally, she connects “no room for excuses” to intensified action against cartels, citing recent extraditions, indictments, and Mexico cooperation as part of a broader war on “Dope Incorporated.”

Susan Kokinda Quote:
" When Besson says there must be no room for excuses, he's driving home a point. We are finally and actually waging war on the cartels because we're not afraid to go after the imperial financial networks that have run drugs going back to Britain's opium wars. And it is a war.

The May National Drug Control Strategy said this. Over the past 5 years, nearly half a million Americans have been killed by drug overdosing and poisoning. More than the combined American military losses of World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. So, the administration is treating it as a war. "

Right now the Trump regime is busy consolidating their grip on the USA population, installing AI surveillance, installing AI data centres that will make life very difficult if not impossible for vast numbers of residents, passing bills that punish criticism of Israel, punishing folks who criticize Trump, war against Iran and insider trading that's creating runaway inflation which is sucking wealth out of the middle class, which terribly reduces their ability to fight for their rights.

I really don't think they can vote their way out of this corrupt mess. Personally I think the american population needs to revolt en masse. Now, while they still have some assets.

Amaryllis Fox Kennedy, RFK Jr.'s daughter-in-law and Tulsi Gabbard's closest ally in the intelligence community, has resigned from two senior posts over disagreement with Trump's Iran war.

Kennedy is stepping down as deputy to Gabbard at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and as associate director at the Office of Management and Budget (where she oversaw classified intelligence budgets). Resignation effective this week.

She's keeping her third job as member of the President's Intelligence Advisory Board.

Kennedy is a former CIA undercover officer (8 years) and author. Before the 2024 election, she told Tucker Carlson she opposed a war with Iran.

Sources say the Iran war was a major factor in her decision to leave. She didn't mention it in her resignation email but praised Trump and said she's "returning to the private sector."

This is the second senior intelligence official to resign over Iran. Joe Kent, director of the National Counterterrorism Center, resigned in March, publicly stating Trump was pushed into the war by "pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby."

Quote: " The old game is over. There is a new game now. And in this new game, it's the people, not the donors, not the consultants, not the editorial boards. It is the people who are the final authority. And the people keep choosing Trump every time without fail.

And this is because what's happening in Republican primaries is actually a symptom of something much larger. A civilizational shift in American politics that's only now coming into view. For 40 years from roughly 1984 to 2024, American politics operated inside a framework that was set by the political and cultural establishment.

The framework said both parties compete for the center. Both parties defer to the expert class. Both parties respect the permanent government, the bureaucracy, the administrative state, the intelligence agencies, the media, and both parties accept at some level that the donor class ultimately gets what it pays for. That was the old framework. MAGA didn't reform that framework. MAGA didn't update it. MAGA burned it down.

And here's why that matters on a level that goes beyond politics. For the first time in modern American history, a political movement is being built from the bottom up rather than from the top down. The people at the top of the Republican party are no longer the people who fund it or built its infrastructure. The people at the top are the people who command the loyalty of voters. And that person above all is Donald J. Trump. Remember Donald J. Trump, we talked about this yesterday, is basically a thirdparty candidate who won a major party nomination. He had nothing going for him in traditional politics terms, right? He did not have the Republican apparatus behind him. He didn't have the donor class behind him. He didn't have the advisor class behind him. He had none of the top-down structures of po political order behind him. He came from the bottom up. The people, a new movement, a mass MAGA movement overwhelmed the Republican party and put Donald Trump in charge. This is a genuinely new thing in American public political life, and 37-0 is its later latest proof of concept...

What you're witnessing right now is what it looks like when a people, a true national people, take their government back. Welcome to Trump's America. Welcome to the golden age. "

[Rizotto]

One more proof that the claims that Trump opposes 'globalists' (whatever that means these days...) are false. If Trump really wanted to step away from the UN he would not continue to try and curtail the UN operations for the benefit of genocidal Israel.

Trump should just get the USA out of the UN altogether. The rest of the world would sigh with relief, especially that we'd no longer have UN resolutions for Palestine stalled with USA veto. The UN should relocate outside the USA as soon as possible.

US threatens Palestinian UN envoy – media
Washington is reportedly pressuring Riyad Mansour to drop his General Assembly bid by warning of possible visa revocations

The US has urged the Palestinian envoy to the UN to withdraw his candidacy for a senior General Assembly post and threatened to revoke his delegation’s visas if he refuses, according to media reports citing an internal State Department cable.

The dispute centers on Palestinian efforts to expand their diplomatic standing at the UN, including a push for full membership and a vice-presidential seat in the General Assembly, despite opposition from US and Israel.

The internal cable issued this week reportedly instructed US diplomats at the American embassy in Jerusalem to tell Palestinian UN ambassador Riyad Mansour that his General Assembly bid “fuels tensions,” risks undermining US President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan, and would face consequences if it moved forward.

Mansour had already dropped a bid to become president of the General Assembly earlier this year following US lobbying, according to the reports. The Assembly is due to elect its next president and 16 vice‑presidents on June 2.

US diplomats were also reportedly instructed to remind Palestinian officials that they would make no progress on recovering tax and customs revenues withheld by Israel if they did not “engage in good faith.” Those funds make up much of the Palestinian Authority’s budget and have been largely frozen since the Gaza war began following the Hamas attack on southern Israel in October 2023.

Israeli forces have since carried out large-scale operations in the enclave, killing tens of thousands of Palestinians and displacing most of the population. Although a ceasefire was reached last year, the IDF has continued to conduct strikes in the territory.

The Palestinian Authority holds non-member observer state status at the UN and has no vote in the 193-member General Assembly. Although the Assembly backed its bid for full membership in 2024, any upgrade still requires Security Council approval, where previous efforts were blocked by US vetoes.

Under a 1947 headquarters agreement, the US is obliged to allow representatives of UN members and observers to travel to New York for official UN business. However, Washington has previously denied visas to some Iranian and Russian officials and to former Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, citing national security concerns.

I agree wholeheartedly that the United Nations headquarters should be moved to a developing country that would significantly benefit from having such an institution. Establishing the headquarters in a third-world nation would attract more empathetic and altruistic diplomats genuinely committed to humanitarian efforts. A significant change of geography would no doubt make the entire UN a more compassionate, intelligent and meaningful institution. For the time being, the United States needs to stay in the UN because they are useful idiots.

[Rizotto]

To Rgray: Actually, it's very obvious for the great majority of people on the planet that it is the Trump regime who are the useful idiots for the zionist genocidal apartheid Israel that literally run the USA, run it into the ground actually.

"Tucker Carlson says the Republican Party is officially dead after it colluded with a foreign country to buy Thomas Massie’s seat.
He says it is immoral to support the current Republican Party because it supports the killing of children and is now against free speech.
“It’s the end of the Republican Party we had.”

I hear that Florida now has a law banning criticism of Israel. How many other states with such laws?

And about anti-BDS laws that curtail free speech in many USA states:

US: States Use Anti-Boycott Laws to Punish Responsible Businesses
Laws Penalize Companies that Cut Ties With Israeli Settlements

(Washington, DC) – Many United States states are using anti-boycott laws and executive orders to punish companies that refuse to do business with illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank, Human Rights Watch said today. More than 250 million Americans, some 78 percent of the population, live in states with anti-boycott laws or policies.

Twenty-seven states have adopted laws or policies that penalize businesses, organizations, or individuals that engage in or call for boycotts against Israel. The laws or policies in 17 of those states explicitly target not only companies that refuse to do business in or with Israel, but also those that refuse to do business in Israeli settlements. Some states whose laws do not explicitly apply to settlements have also penalized companies that cut settlement ties.

“States with anti-boycott laws are effectively telling companies that if you do the right thing and disentangle yourselves from settlement abuses, you can’t do business with us,” said Andrea Prasow, deputy US advocacy director at Human Rights Watch. “States should encourage, not sanction, companies that avoid contributing to rights abuses.”

Many states have anti-boycott laws or policies that extend to individuals and companies that enter into business contracts with states. These laws and policies require people entering into contracts to assert that they will not engage in any boycott activity.

In January 2019, the US Senate passed a bill that endorsed state anti-boycott legislation, including those that encompass settlement business activity. In March, federal lawmakers introduced resolutions in both the Senate and House to condemn boycotts of Israel. None of these initiatives has yet to become US law.

It is impossible to do business in the settlements without contributing to or benefitting from human rights abuse and violations of international humanitarian law, Human Rights Watch has said. Anti-boycott laws aim to deter companies from cutting ties to settlements and thereby ending their involvement in human rights abuses there. States should scrap anti-boycott laws that penalize companies for taking action that ends their involvement in rights abuses.
