RFK, Jr. eliminates help for lead poisoning

Almost 70K kids are enrolled in Milwaukee Public Schools — 90% are children of color. Staffing isn’t the only reason why the CDC refuses to assist. This administration doesn’t care about children, let alone children of color. To RFK Jr., minority children are one big science experiment. Asshole!

The entire CDC lead program has been eliminated. Lead exposure can lead to many issues including anemia & irreversible brain damage in young children. It was <10 years ago we learned that 99,000 people in Flint Michigan had been exposed. If only eliminating programs eliminated the risk.

Trump is bad for travel revenue

In recent weeks, the number of people travelling from Europe to the U.S has plummeted — by as much as 35%. The sharp decline in tourism is a direct response to Trump’s punishing policies — including tariffs and the horrific treatment of immigrants and foreigners.

International travel is declining, and it’s costing the US: ‘It’s shaking everything up’

NEW 🧵The number of people travelling from Europe to the US in recent weeks has plummeted by as much as 35%, as travellers have cancelled plans in response to Trump’s policies and rhetoric, and horror stories from the border.Story: http://www.ft.com/content/6dc1&#8230;

I realize this is over Donald Trump's head, but killing foreign tourism will increase the trade deficit.

Tourism accounts for 10% of Florida’s GDP 🤷🏻‍♀️

Tourism is in a free fall. Who wants to visit a country with a crazy dictator running the damn place? Florida was already having problems. Now it's only getting worse. #USDemocracywww.travelandtourworld.com/news/article…

FEMA news – all bad

Trump wants to get rid of it entirely. Disgraceful.

At least one FEMA official has been placed on administrative leave and was escorted out of the agency’s office this week after being administered a polygraph test, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter. cnn.it/3EjGFae

At least 19 states, all of whom with Democratic attorneys general, presented “undisputed evidence” they were not receiving FEMA funds already appropriated by Congress.
