FEMA is planning to test its alert system October 4th; why
it’s dangerous to some people: The test will consist of two
parts: The WEA alerts will go to all cell phones, and the EAS
alerts will go to radios and televisions. FEMA and the FCC
are coordinating with wireless providers and other
emergency managers to make sure confusion is minimized
and public safety is elevated. Victims who keep a “domestic
violence phone” make sure it is turned off at 2:20 p.m. in
the afternoon when the emergency alerts go out. This will
prevent the alarm from sounding off and alerting the
abuser of the lifeline’s existence, a warning that should have
been added to FEMA and FCC’s communications.

Mysterious Pyramid Uncovered From Under the Ice in Antarctica: If a pyramid seems like an unlikely find in a place like Antarctica, it is. Most ancient pyramids have been found in Egypt, Sudan, Mexico, Italy, Iraq, and Peru. The so-called pyramid, discovered at Antarctica’s Ellsworth Mountain range, has seemingly stumped people from all over the world.

Twenty-Five Thousand Auto Workers Are Now Striking Against the Big 3 Automakers: In a first in recent history, the union has played the three auto companies against each other with its strike strategy.

Joining the strike are Ford’s Chicago Assembly Plant and General Motors’ Lansing Delta Township Assembly in Michigan.

Silent killer: How deadly is air pollution? It kills 7 million people a year. New research shows it also raises antibiotic resistance and is linked to cancer risks. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that air pollution is responsible for more than seven million premature deaths every year around the world, contributing to pulmonary and heart diseases, lung cancer and respiratory infections.

Lawmakers to return Saturday just hours before partial government shutdown: McCarthy proposed a 30-day extension that cut spending and bolstered conservative border policies, but 21 Republicans voted against it, leading it to fail 198-232. House lawmakers are expected to return Saturday for more votes, but passing a spending measure to keep the government open is becoming increasingly unlikely.

Vance wants electric vehicle subsidies to stop, gas-powered tax credits to start: More than $100 million in electric vehicle subsidies would go to gas-powered vehicles built in America if U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance gets his way. Vance wants to eliminate President Joe Biden’s plan for $100 million in federal electric vehicle subsidies and replace it with taxpayer subsidies for gas-powered vehicles. He says it will help current striking United Auto Workers members.

Feinstein’s death raises the question: How are vacant Senate seats filled? One US senator has died, another is facing criminal charges and one more is dealing with health problems. Who replaces a senator who is no longer in the seat? In simple terms, in 46 of the 50 states, governors have the power to make temporary appointments to fill U.S. Senate vacancies until either a scheduled or special election determines who will fill the remainder of a vacating senator’s term.

GOP Waging Coordinated Effort to Undermine U.S. Elections, Says Leading Official: Election workers are leaving their work in large numbers due to increasing harassment and threats. “There is a coordinated national effort to undermine American elections,” Griswold said, pointing to the example of Trump supporters showing up to county clerk’s offices in 2021 and threatening them if they didn’t provide access to voting equipment.

Ending state-sanctioned theft to preserve police legitimacy: This bill would increase the burden of proof to ensure seized property is tied to criminal activity, as well as close a loophole practice called “equitable sharing,” which allows states that have curtailed or banned civil asset forfeiture to skirt limitations by running their forfeitures through the federal program instead.
