Since taking office in January, the Trump administration has systematically attacked each and every one of these agencies and undermined their ability to keep us safe. The latest of their cuts is the most egregious yet: reassigning FEMA staff to work on ICE deportation work.

Attacks on Social Security used to be considered the third rail of politics. Anyone who proposed cutting or even delaying benefits was, rightfully, laughed out of the room. Part of that is because all members of Congress (whether they like it or not) have constituents who rely on these programs.

A few weeks ago, Trump's EPA made an astounding declaration that greenhouse gas emissions pose no threat to human beings or the climate, despite decades of scientific consensus saying otherwise. The move is intended to weaken the legal basis for all regulations aimed at protecting our environment and slowing the course of climate change.
