The US government has spent the past week assessing a report of a leak at a Chinese nuclear power plant, after a French company that part owns and helps operate it warned of an "imminent radiological threat," according to US officials and documents reviewed by CNN. The warning included an accusation that the Chinese safety authority was raising the acceptable limits for radiation detection outside the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant in Guangdong province in order to avoid having to shut it down, according to a letter from the French company to the US Department of Energy obtained by CNN.

I remember pulling into the parking garage at my law clerk job that I was continuing to work while studying for the bar. I sat in my car reading the synopsis of the decision and then went into the office shaking with excitement and all of my supervising attorneys were in a big circle talking excitedly about it. We went out for lunch to celebrate marriage equality that day. Why yes I worked for the 2nd most liberal county attorney's office in the state, why do you ask? Lol.

elle, I never really trust anything that involves that family. However, this * may * not be that unusual for the commercial part of the financing offered by the GSEs. And the amount of investment into the non-single family home part of the world has been a continual uptick under both Obama and Trump appointees. This, theoretically, is a good thing for those individuals who can't afford to purchase and need affordable rental options. But- Kushners so... if it smells like a rat, it's probably a rat.

I listened to his podcast on this issue last week and find both it and this op Ed compelling and interesting. What the Rich Don’t Want to Admit About the Poor nyti.ms/3gyAkru'Most Americans don’t think of themselves as benefiting from the poverty of others, and I don’t think objections to a guaranteed income would manifest as arguments in favor of impoverishment. Instead, we would see much of what we’re seeing now, only magnified: Fears of inflation, lectures about how the government is subsidizing indolence, paeans to the character-building qualities of low-wage labor, worries that the economy will be strangled by taxes or deficits, anger that Uber and Lyft rides have gotten more expensive, sympathy for the struggling employers who can’t fill open roles rather than for the workers who had good reason not to take those jobs. These would reflect not America’s love of poverty but opposition to the inconveniences that would accompany its elimination.'

Breyer needs to retire now.
ETA: I would love the Democrats to hold the Senate at midterms, but with the way the GOO is fucking with voting rights any which way they can, I don't trust we will. He needs to step down now before Mitch can fuck with the Court more.
