Banning the cyanide bombs, planted throughout the American West in service of the livestock industry, has been the Mansfield family’s mission: The weapons, known as M-44s, are placed by an under-the-radar federal agency called Wildlife Services. The agency was created to protect the livestock industry’s bottom line by killing off the
competition: namely, wild predators. The so-called cyanide bombs do kill predators, but they can also kill anyone else unlucky enough to stumble upon them. And they have a hair trigger.

# Border / Immigration / Migrants
Cost of Joe Biden’s open borders: $200 billion, paid by you: An internal City Hall memo says Biden’s open border will cost New York City taxpayers $4.2 billion through the middle of next year, double Mayor Adams’ previous estimate. And those costs won’t stop even if Washington magically decides to start enforcing the immigration laws, because millions are already here.

A June report from the Federation for American Immigration Reform makes for very sober reading. There are now at least 16.8 million illegal migrants living in the United States: According to a recent New York Times report, cartels and “coyotes” (human smugglers) are earning a whopping $13 billion annually “guiding” migrants across the southern border. And helping them succeed is a web of bribery and corruption that’s been allowed to flourish with impunity.

Antarctica is missing an Argentina-sized amount of sea ice – and scientists are scrambling to figure out why: As the Northern Hemisphere swelters under a record-breaking summer heat wave, much further south, in the depths of winter, another terrifying climate record is being broken. Antarctic sea ice has fallen to unprecedented lows for this time of year. Every year, Antarctic sea ice shrinks to its lowest levels towards the end of February, during the continent’s summer. The sea ice then builds back up over the winter. But this year scientists have observed something different.

How Republicans flipped America’s state supreme courts: In 2018, the Iowa Supreme Court ruled that the state constitution included a right to abortion, finding that “nothing could be more fundamental to the notion of liberty.” Just four years later, the court reversed itself. Iowa’s constitution does not, the justices decided, guarantee a right to abortion after all. That 2018 ruling? It had “a one-sided quality to it,” the new majority found. Iowans could no longer rely on a constitutional protection that existed just hours before.

One Texas family is scrambling after their 3-year-old child, who has disabilities, becomes one of nearly half a million Texans who have lost continuous Medicaid coverage: When Texas started scrubbing people from Medicaid after a three-year pause on removals during the pandemic, one family lost the insurance coverage that helped provide all treatments for their medically complex child. But her daughter Amelia can’t see her doctors anymore. She can’t undergo scheduled brain tests because the Medicaid coverage that provided access to all her treatment — for her six congenital heart defects, her cerebral palsy and her autism — was revoked.

Private Equity Wreckers Come For Your Health Insurance: The implosion of Friday Health Plans, which offered plans on seven state health insurance exchanges, comes as other private equity-backed insurers have faced similar issues. Bright Health, which was backed by private equity titan The Blackstone Group among others, had to end its insurance business on the exchanges last year, leaving hundreds of thousands of people to find new insurance policies for 2023. “They’re extracting value from the health care system, they load them up with debt and then they pay it back by lowering the quality of care,” said Katz Olson. “Health insurance is just another niche that private equity is destroying. They keep buying up these places, extract the value, and then spit them out.”

Managed retreat? Please, not yet: As climate impacts grow, an Indigenous Fijian community weighs what it means to leave. As climate change rolls on, and as the sea level continues to rise, this low-lying island off the southern coast of Viti Levu, one of the country’s two largest islands, seems like an obvious candidate for relocation efforts, and its inhabitants the latest face of climate refugees. Fiji’s national government has offered its support to help the island’s 100 or so inhabitants move. Yet almost all are choosing to stay put.

A fight for salmon fishing rights connects Indigenous peoples across the Pacific Ocean: Inspired by Indigenous groups in the Pacific Northwest, Japan’s Ainu people want to rebuild their self-determination and food sovereignty. For the Ainu, salmon is king, as fundamental to life as the air, mountains, and sea. In fact, shipe, one of several Native names for the fish, is synonymous with food itself. “It returns to us year after year,” says Sashima, “as though it were a promise.” “Salmon is central not just to our cuisine, but to our identity.”

Among other effects, the disaster declaration opened a spigot of government money to a variety of private firms ostensibly paid to help patrol and blockade the state’s border with Mexico.

Will the Teamsters’ Gains at UPS Help Them Unionize Amazon? The wage increases matter, but banning the constant surveillance of workers should really resonate with Amazon employees.

Mining companies are eager to dig up the ocean. That’s a dangerous idea: We already know the damage that mining can cause on land. It could be devastating to the deep sea. It’s a cruel irony that renewable energy, at least at this point of technological development, is thought to require nonrenewable deep-sea minerals, pulled from ecosystems we know so little about. But we can’t protect our planet by destroying it, nor can we mine our way out of the climate crisis.

Everyone should see it.  Brilliantly done.  Stay thru the credits as Jim then speaks to the audience. He tells us, once you know it is happening, you must work to stop the evil.  Jim asks the audience, “Can we love God’s children more than we fear evil?” “The Sound of Freedom brings this truth to light,” said Bob Unanue, President and CEO of Goya Foods, and Executive Producer of Sound of Freedom. Goya Cares, inspired by the movie, is a global initiative dedicated to combating child trafficking and educating on child mental health.

The environmental impacts of war: Research by Brown University is shedding light on the impact of the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and other conflict zones, finding that the U.S. military, among others, contributes significantly to climate change, becoming one of the world’s top greenhouse gas emitters through the fighting of battles. Militaries consume enormous amounts of fossil fuels. Bombing and other methods of modern warfare directly harm wildlife and biodiversity.

The Plutocratic Policies of No Labels: Today on TAP: Cutting Social Security, nixing increases to family benefits, No Labels’ economics are old-school Republican. At a time when most Americans believe the United States has become a plutocracy, a candidate like Manchin and a “party” like No Labels can justly be attacked as plutocracy’s friends, just as Trump can be attacked as an autocrat-in-waiting.

Tennessee Republican Representative Tim Burchett said this week that Americans “deserve to know” about aliens and UFOs or unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs). “That’s what it is about: aliens … I think people deserve to know,” Burchett told Politico, while speaking about a potential House Oversight Committee hearing on UFOs and UAPs. The comments by Burchett come amid ongoing discussion about UFOs, UAPs and aliens throughout the U.S. after Air Force veteran David Grusch, told NewsNation that the U.S. Military has a secret program that previously recovered wreckage of a UFO.

hundreds of dollars in 2023 tax refunds are available
if recipients provide missing information.

We Must Stand Up to Chinese Companies Skirting Tariff Laws:  Most people are waking up to the realities of dealing with China. We now know that they are not a friend or a trading partner. They are a competitor that uses technology theft, espionage and mercantilism, whose primary objective is global displacement of the United States. To achieve its goals, the CCP heavily subsidizes companies that operate in the key industries identified in its Made in China 2025 plan. These subsidies make it difficult for U.S. companies to compete

The Vice of Spice: Confronting Lead-Tainted Turmeric: To enhance the color of turmeric roots, some traders add a toxic substance called lead chromate. The turmeric purchased abroad, in Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Morocco, had the highest lead concentrations, meaning that people all over the world could have been affected. This disparity, the study explained, may have been due to the adulteration of spices in countries with poor regulatory control.

North Korea has been warned it will be eradicated if it used nuclear weapons against the US or South Korea: In a grim warning from the South Korean Defense Ministry, Seoul told Kim Jong-Un’s regime that any nuke fired would be the end of North Korea. The ministry said: “In the event of any North Korean nuclear attack against the South Korea-US alliance, it will face an immediate, overwhelming and decisive response from the alliance, and through this, (we) warn strongly again that (the attack) will result in the end of the North Korean regime.”

North Korea will launch a nuclear retaliation “automatically and immediately” if KIM JONG UN is incapacitated in an attack, according to a new law, codifying for the first time that the leader has delegated his strike authority under that severe condition.
