Decades ago, Kris Hansen showed 3M that its PFAS chemicals were in people's bodies. Her bosses halted her work. Now she wrestles with the secrets that 3M kept from her and the world. (Published May 2024)

Today I want to share with you a statement by former federal judge Mark L. Wolf explaining why he resigned from the federal bench in early November. I found it sobering and troubling. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/winner-of-this-weeks-joseph-welch

Trump's imperialism is leading to murder -- at home and abroad. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

The U.S. wants healthier children. So why is it scaling back its nutrition programs?

Meanwhile, Trump is planning to pardon Juan Orlando Hernández, a former president of Honduras who had been convicted in the U.S. of drug trafficking.

1/2 This has got to be one of most painful responses to watch. The White House simply does not deny the follow up strike was to allow no survivors. And the 'law' Leavitt cites is utterly irrelevant (self-defense is a non-sequitur, it's not armed conflict, and 'no survivors' is a crime).

News --> The commander who oversaw Pete Hegseth's alleged killing of two boat bombing survivors is now likely to come in and face questions from the House Armed Services Committee, ranking Dem Adam Smith tells me. In this piece, I try to make sense of this horror: newrepublic.com/article/2037...

TN-7 shenanigans over on Reddit 🤔

There is no doubt that Hegseth has ordered our troops to commit war crimes. He fired all the TJAGs his first week for a reason. My latest. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Fired US Immigration judge Tania Nemer files federal civil suit against Atty Gen Pam Bondi alleging sex discrimination Suit: "According to the final agency decision, the President may now fire female federal workers like Ms. Nemer—because of their sex—and the law would have nothing to say about it"

"True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.” —FDR, 1944

Reminder, Missouri 👇 Sign the Respect MO Voters petition!

Missouri majority voted for paid sick days Republican legislators & Gov passed legislation & signed it to negate that majority vote.1 in 4 news. Mothers return to work within 4 weeks because they have no sick days. That's sick alright

96% of the highest-paid workers in the US have paid sick days. Just 38% of the lowest-paid workers get them — including the thousands of retail workers working this holiday weekend. Only in America do we call working people ‘essential’ but deny them paid sick leave.

He reunited families separated under Trump. Now he’s running for Congress. wapo.st/3KdDBQ1

If we killed a boat full of people who posed no threat to us, without due process, with whom we were not in any way at war, it was already a crime.

How do we know those boats were US bound?

You don’t get to pick. That’s the whole damn point of the rule of law.

This should worry everyone. “US officials contacted by Reuters were surprised by Trump's announcement and unaware of any ongoing military operations to enforce a closure of Venezuelan airspace.” Trump’s failing faculties could walk the US into war.

Cattle rustlers and presidents! youtu.be/Np1xRmfRTsM?...

At what point will Trump give orders for marauding NG forces to start indiscriminately, without legal basis, killing drug dealers in US?

"If you look at job growth between January and September ... for the past 15 years, it's only been worse once, and that was during the pandemic ... It is the worst first nine months for the labor market in 15 years."

The deranged madman now threatens to blow up commercial airliners flying in and out of Venezuela.

Money… How much he charged for 🇭🇳 former president pardon? It’s not about drugs. It’s all about the money.

This absurd pardon shows the murderous boat bombings were never about stopping drugs

Looking at you Governor Kehoe and the rest of the Missouri GOP
