I'm not kidding. Chapter 14 of Project 2025 (see: "Agenda 47") is the part of their plan where they'd cut back medical services to the point where every poor sick & disabled person will, quite simply, not be able to afford to stay alive. This could be your grandmother, your uncle, your cousin. You.

These guys are true freaks and the more people gear about Trump's Project 2025 the more they hate it. Which is why the centrist media (who wants Trump to win) is instead running imaginary "Trump moderates on abortion!" stories

Yes, it’s fine to be worried about the debate, it’s fine to wish we had another nominee, it’s fine to think about how to make it happen. But the fixation on replacing has become a rationale for waging open war on DEMOCRATS, which over time is doing considerably more damage than the debate did

Worth noting the EPA's brief correctly uses "nitrogen oxide" 7 times, and the EPA submitted a declaration from an official who used it twice. But nobody involved in the majority opinion, Justices and clerks, bothered to take the EPA's brief seriously, and so none of them noticed the error.
