Some good news out of the Trump camp. I hope the administration is successful in implementing paid family leave options. I couldnt imagine how hard it is for young parents who are lacking in resources or supports to have a kids with out paid parental leave. The first couple months of a babies life, the bonding and relationship build between parent and child has impact on the rest of that babies life.

Trump calls for more women's health care, paid family leave options

Wasn't there some Trumpy I discussed this with a couple days ago who couldn't handle it? He must be furious.

edit: yep, and he is.

Two wrongs don't make a right. You're always posting with a chip on your shoulder, unable to have effective debate. I just see you projecting.

You can call me whatever names, it won't change my day one bit. Discuss my opinion, and I may change it once convinced. Call me biased? I ask, what makes you think that? Because I think different than you? You think I am whatever you oppose? I think everybody with an opinion is somewhat biased one way or the other.

If you have a problem with name calling, then why do you copy such unwanted behavior?

Do you realize you are a hypocrite?
When you say the exact same shit to the guy who started off by calling me names, then you might be worth answering.
LOL @ "You can call me whatever names" .... right after calling me a name.

Trump's EPA Greenlights a Nasty Chemical. A Month Later, It Poisons a Bunch of Farmworkers.

On May 5, more than 50 farmworkers outside of Bakersfield, California, were exposed to a highly toxic pesticide that apparently drifted from a nearby field—at a high enough level that "twelve people reported symptoms of vomiting [and] nausea and one person fainted," reports the television news station Kern Golden Empire. "An additional twelve workers did not show signs of any symptoms," the station reported. "However more than half of the farm workers left before medical aide arrived."

"Anybody that was exposed, that was here today, we encourage them to seek medical attention immediately," Kern County Public Health warned.
Public health authorities took the poisoning quite seriously. "Anybody that was exposed, that was here today, we encourage them to seek medical attention immediately. Don't wait. Particularly if you're suffering from any symptoms. Whether it's nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, seek medical attention immediately," Michelle Corson, public relations officer at Kern County Public Health, said in an announcement to the TV station.

But in March, the EPA abruptly changed its stance on chlorpyrifos, greenlighting it instead of banning it. The decision, among the first major ones made by Scott Pruitt in his tenure as EPA chief, caused outrage in public health circles. Dow AgroSciences applauded the decision. "Dow AgroSciences remains confident that authorized uses of chlorpyrifos products offer wide margins of protection for human health and safety," the company declared in a press release.

That's cool though if they don't have health-insurance anymore. They will open up new jobs soon!

That bill will be picked up by the employer, I'm sure.

I wonder why over half of the workers left before medical aid arrived?

They left with the hot nurses!

Immigrants are treated like shit here. They are treated like slaves at work. They are treated like they have the plague in some neighborhoods. They have no real rights/protection here. I wonder why they even want to come here.

pesticides are toxic in high doses, who knew? there's a reason pesticides are supposed to be measured in parts per million/billion.

But but Barry's epa was so concerned they were going to ban it...but but they were waiting for their third term to act, eight years just wasn't quite enough time to make it happen.

What was the hold up? It hadn't been greenlit, or banned, was it being tested?

Its been used since 1965, "greenlit" is just fancy wording to put it in trumps lap. It wasn't being tested because they know exactly what it is. Its usage was and is regulated by the epa. Right or wrong, they feel like it has minimal risk if used properly. The Obama epa clearly felt the same as evidenced by their inaction for two terms.

I think the issue has as much to do with the removal of workers protections as it does the nasty chemicals we are spraying on our food.

With regards to the use of this particular chemical, can you provide a source of worker protection guidelines being changed under the trump admin? I've looked and I can't find one.

Trump revealed highly classified information to Russian foreign minister and ambassador

President Trump revealed highly classified information to the Russian foreign minister and ambassador in a White House meeting last week, according to current and former U.S. officials, who said Trump’s disclosures jeopardized a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State.

The information the president relayed had been provided by a U.S. partner through an intelligence-sharing arrangement considered so sensitive that details have been withheld from allies and tightly restricted even within the U.S. government, officials said.

The partner had not given the United States permission to share the material with Russia, and officials said Trump’s decision to do so endangers cooperation from an ally that has access to the inner workings of the Islamic State. After Trump’s meeting, senior White House officials took steps to contain the damage, placing calls to the CIA and the National Security Agency.

“This is code-word information,” said a U.S. official familiar with the matter, using terminology that refers to one of the highest classification levels used by American spy agencies. Trump “revealed more information to the Russian ambassador than we have shared with our own allies.”

Democratic Lawmaker Says Donald Trump Has Committed An "Impeachable Act"

Democratic Rep. Al Green, of Texas, called for the impeachment of President Donald Trump on Monday, marking the most explicit call yet by a member of Congress to start the process of ousting the president.

In a statement, Green cited Trump’s “obstruction” in the investigation of whether his campaign coordinated with Russia during the 2016 election. Green pointed specifically to Trump’s decision to fire FBI Director James Comey last week, as well as Trump’s tweet stating that Comey “better hope that there are no ‘tapes’ of our conversations” and that Trump “acknowledged he considered the investigation when he fired” Comey.

“These acts, when combined, amount to intimidation and obstruction,” Green said in the statement.

“President Trump is not above the law. He has committed an impeachable act and must be charged. To do otherwise would cause some Americans to lose respect for, and obedience to, our societal norms,” Green said in the statement.

Donald Trump’s revised travel ban back in court

Federal judges on Monday peppered a lawyer for President Donald Trump with questions about whether the administration’s travel ban discriminates against Muslims, the second time in a week the issue has been in court.

Acting Solicitor General Jeffrey Wall, who is defending the travel ban, told a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Seattle that the executive order halting travel from six majority Muslim nations doesn’t say anything about religion.

“This order is aimed at aliens abroad, who themselves don’t have constitutional rights,” Wall said in a hearing broadcast live on C-Span and other news stations.

Advocates for refugees and immigrants rallied outside the federal courthouse in Seattle, some carrying “No Ban, No Wall” signs.

Trump’s executive would suspend the nation’s refugee program and temporarily bar new visas for citizens of Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. Last week, judges on the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments over whether to affirm a Maryland judge’s decision putting the ban on ice. They focused their questions on whether they could consider Trump’s campaign statements calling for a ban on Muslims entering the U.S., with one judge asking if there was anything other than “wilful blindness” that would prevent them from doing so.

On Monday, Wall told the judges that “over time, the president clarified that what he was talking about was Islamic terrorist groups and the countries that sponsor or shelter them.”

Did a paper once in college on pesticides & the EPA's testing & banning of them. In the late 80's or early 90's the EPA banned a pesticide that was used on apples, & working incredibly well, based on lab testing on rats who had all developed cancer. A human could've eaten 80 apples a day for 50 years straight & still not had close to the same level of the pesticide they pumped into the rats. That was the only testing they did. When people started questioning this they were called anti-science & paid for by lobbyists, so the left's playbook hasn't changed much

Obama's former Secretary of Defense...

Robert Gates: "Broadly Philosophically" I Support Trump's "Disruptive" Approach

ROBERT GATES, FORMER SECRETARY OF DEFENSE: Broadly philosophically. I am in agreement with his disruptive approach. So, in government, I’m a strong believer in the need for reform of government agencies and departments. They – they have gotten fat and sloppy and they’re not user friendly. They are inefficient. They cost too much.

I also think, on the foreign policy side, that there is a need for disruption. You know, we’ve had three administrations follow a pretty consistent policy toward North Korea and it really hasn’t gotten us anywhere. So the notion of disrupting and sort of putting the Chinese on notice that it’s no longer business as usual for the United States I think is a good thing.
