Surging seas threaten to inundate 5,500 toxic sites along U.S. coasts. Legacies of discriminatory policies have left low-income neighborhoods and communities of color stuck near these sites and at greatest risk of harm.
As Seas Rise, So Do the Risks From Toxic Sites - Inside Climate News
Flooding from surging seas is likely to inundate thousands of U.S. hazardous sites in coming years as global temperatures rise, placing the nation’s most vulnerable at greatest risk.

This action, coupled with the President's call to hang Democratic members of Congress - both in the past few hrs - are more than "potentially divisive."
They are vile, unconscionable, and dangerous.

NEWS: During a hearing in federal court in VA, prosecutors confirmed that the operative indictment in the case against James Comey was never shown to or voted on by the entire grand jury before it was presented in open court.
Defense counsel argued that’s a complete bar to further prosecution
