This will be the one time in the history of jury duty that every juror summoned shows up and wants to get seated.

JFC.
“Images of the East Wing’s destruction have shown clouds of dust and workers with no personal protective equipment, the Post noted. The site has drawn tourists and crowds. Dirt from the project has been taken by dump trucks to a nearby park.”

“Federal law requires comprehensive asbestos inspection, notification, and abatement before any demolition. As of this date, no publicly available information demonstrates that these statutory obligations have been fulfilled.”

The East Wing was originally constructed in 1902 and was renovated in 1942, a period when asbestos was used extensively in government buildings.

Trump’s swift demolition of East Wing may have launched asbestos plumes

There is no confirmation that the Trump admin. followed abatement processes.

My mind went straight here too. Someone at the top of Kimberly-Clark must have donated to Trump back when RFK Jr. was searching for something simplistic to blame autism on.

I’ll keep saying it. Trump is desperate to start a war with SOMEONE, ANYONE as an excuse to claim he must remain president for a third term or cancel elections altogether because “wartime”.

What is this immature style of speech that’s organized as, “Did I do that thing I definitely did? Just asking questions.” And then answering your own denial-question by saying, “I would be justified if I did that thing but I’m not saying that I did it.” Let’s name it donalding. Mace is donalding.

The weekly US influenza surveillance report is now lagging behind by 6 weeks. The last data update was for the week of September 20th. This used to be a vital tool to alert on how widely flu was circulating during peak season. Looks like we will be flying blind this year.

Reminds me of when Putin built up troops and equipment along Ukraine’s border while insisting he wasn’t going to invade… right before a false flag operation he used as the excuse to invade. Trump never had an original idea in his life. He just copies other supposed strongmen.

Great article by The Atlantic. Though the overall economy will be worse off, “the benefits [of Trump’s deportation drive] would accrue to one politically important group: working-class, native-born men.”

America’s Impending Population Collapse

This year, for the first time in nearly a century, more foreign-born people will likely leave the United States than will enter.

Venezuela won’t take the bait despite Trump’s military continuing to murder its citizens in international waters so now he’s threatening war with Nigeria. He’s so desperate to be at war with SOMEONE, ANYONE as an excuse to claim he must remain president beyond a second term. So pathetic.
