EPA To Permit Cities To Dump More Waste Into Rivers. While you were watching the impeachment trial:
The Environmental Protection Agency has made it easier for cities to keep dumping raw sewage into rivers by letting them delay or otherwise change federally imposed fixes to their sewer systems, according to interviews with local officials, water utilities and their lobbyists.
The actions are the latest example of the Trump administration’s efforts to roll back nearly 95 environmental rules that it has said are too costly for industry or taxpayers. That list grew on Thursday, when the administration stripped clean-water protections from wetlands, streams and other waterways.
34 Service Members Suffered ‘Traumatic Brain Injury’ From Iranian Missile Attacks. Remember when His Royal Orangeness downplayed the impact of those attacks? I do. These injuries are all on Trump. ‘Headaches’, my ass.
‘Take Her Out”. Trump orders, over and over again, that the last honest US diplomat be removed from Ukraine.
Progress In Connecticut To End Housing Segregation? The signs are faint, the first steps are halting, but maybe.
Memo To Hillary: Corporatism Is Not Feminism. My must-read of the day. Why do I think her ‘I Am A Victim’ Tour will not go so well?
Here’s Your Early Roundup Of Delaware’s Campaign Finance Reports. We’ve already talked about Sarah McBride. I’m also really encouraged by what Kyle Evans Gay has done. She raised $46K. Cathy Cloutier raised $33K in the same period. Yes, Cloutier has loaned her campaign an additional $45K. But Gay is at the least competitive, and she’s only just started. Also, Gay will be able to raise $$’s from the same donors twice, assuming she wins the primary. I would be real worried if I were Cathy. BTW, it’s time to send some $$’s Marie Pinkney’s way. She just started, but she could use a nest egg.
