E.P.A. Says ‘Forever Chemicals’ Must Be Removed From Tap Water ( www.nytimes.com )

I'll note that this is very different from what the Trump administration did, where they actively worked to create a loophole for this pollution. If you're an American who prefers to see active regulation chemicals which raise cancer risk and harm reproduction, it's worth checking your voter registration to make sure it hasn't been purged, volunteering if possible, and donating if you can afford it

If only there was some kind of federal agency thought could enforce this. Oh well.

They're literally announcing that they're going to enforce a requirement to remove them

Jimmycakes ,

I won't be holding my breath for it to actually happen. Most municipality water systems in this country barely function.

It won't happen overnight; it requires installing or changing equipment. But it will happen over the next few years.

Trump was a disaster, and cannot win another election. He, and all conservatives for that matter, are an existential threat to America. Biden must be reelected.

That does not mean we must support every decision Biden makes. That does not mean he or the Democrats are immune to criticism.

I would even say that Biden and congressional Democrats have not done enough to limit PFAS production and contamination. This isn't a new problem, and they are acting like they just discovered it.

Two things can be true.

Of course. I don't think anyone is saying that. What pisses people off so much is equating the two or just generally dismissing the good things biden actually does because he doesn't live up to ideals people have in their head (as if anyone could)
