Amid a surge in early onset cancer, the Trump administration has taken more than 500 actions to systematically dismantle protections against carcinogens once in place across the federal government, an October report alleges.

The Natural Resources Defense Council report, and comments from current and former officials from the Environmental Protection Agency, bring into focus how myriad changes in federal rules or protocol will dramatically increase the public’s exposure to carcinogens. These are taking effect at a time when some forms of early onset cancer are spiking by about 30% per decade.

MAHA.

Americans have no problem paying the cost of dismantling cancer protections.

We have Super Intelligence and that will be curing cancer any day now. Probably today.

I was talking to a guy. A really smart guy. He went to the best schools money can buy. I told him, "super intelligence is going to build a big beautiful wall between us and the cancer. The cancer will have to start begging to get inside us".

The guy was blown away by my intelligence. He said that idea was one of the best ideas he has ever heard and he put it up there with curing Covid by drinking sodium hypochlorite.

So then I told the guy, Super Intelligence will make sure every cell is accounted for and no cancer gets a free ride. We will finally end the witch hunt on cancer. After the wall is built, the cancer free results will speak for themselves.

    I always have to say this, but the drinking bleach thing was far dumber than most know. Struggled to find a screenshot of the press conference but this guy found it:

    Dishit got all that from a CDC infographic on sterilizing surfaces. This pic is Trump on the way to the lectern that night.
