DeSantis signs bill that blocks heat protection, overriding cities and counties.


https://www.npr.org/2024/04/12/1244...t-protections-for-workers-right-before-summer

excerpt:

"Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed a law that prevents cities or counties from creating protections for workers who labor in the state's often extreme and dangerous heat.

Two million people in Florida, from construction to agriculture, work outside in often humid, blazing heat.

For years, many of them have asked for rules to protect them from heat: paid rest breaks, water, and access to shade when temperatures soar. After years of negotiations, such rules were on the agenda in Miami-Dade County, home to an estimated 300,000 outdoor workers.

But the new law, signed Thursday evening, blocks such protections from being implemented in cities and counties across the state.

Miami-Dade pulled its local heat protection rule from consideration after the statewide bill passed the legislature in March.

"It's outrageous that the state legislature will override the elected officials of Miami Dade or other counties that really recognize the importance of protecting that community of workers," says David Michaels, an epidemiologist at George Washington University and a former administrator at the federal Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA).

The loss of the local rule was a major blow to Miami-Dade activists and workers who had hoped the county heat protection rules would be in place before summer.""

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Her base consists of people who refuse to vote for Trump- I don’t know what the hell she thinks she’s doing.

 

Joe Piscopo is harking back to the good old days of Trump as president, plus going back much further to Trump's pre-president days.


Joe Piscopo shows ultimate sign of respect by attending Trump’s trial: ‘I’m a guy of loyalty and friendship’

excerpt:

"Piscopo concluded by issuing a short message in support of former President Trump: "We got to stop with the hate."

"What happened when [he was] ‘The Donald’ and I was 'Jersey Joe?' We were hanging out in New York, man. Yeah, I miss those days. We got to stop with the hate," he said."

 

Trump loses twice.

His criminal trial will stay in Manhattan.

Merchan will continue as the judge.

Trump talked like he couldn't testify because of the gag order, but that isn't factual.

He also said that it didn't make sense for him to testify because the prosecution never had a case against him.

 

I’m wondering if he came up with these excuses or if his attorneys advised him to say that crap?

There Is Literally Nothing Trump Can Say That Will Stop Republicans from Voting for Him

excerpt:

"In the past few days, Donald Trump has floated the idea of remaining in office for a third term, despite the Constitution’s two-term limit; sent out a social-media post touting the “unified Reich” that America will become when he wins; and repeatedly promoted a false new conspiracy theory that the F.B.I., when it raided Mar-a-Lago last year to recover classified documents that Trump is accused of illegally taking from the White House, had threatened to use lethal force to take him out. “I nearly escaped death,” he said in a fund-raising e-mail sent on Thursday morning. “Biden’s DOJ was authorized to shoot me!” All of these outrages spurred their own news cycles of shock and disputation; Trump’s claims about the Mar-a-Lago raid even prompted the normally reticent Attorney General, Merrick Garland, to respond in a statement calling them “false” and “extremely dangerous.”"

Biden gains ground in swing states.

excerpt:

"Biden’s more upbeat numbers come at an inflection point in a campaign matchup that has seemed predetermined for months. The president and Trump each clinched their parties’ nominations on March 12, beginning an extraordinarily long general election season. Trump is currently strapped for campaign cash and holding fewer rallies and events, while the incumbent has kicked his reelection effort into high gear and is barnstorming the swing states, including a trip to North Carolina on Tuesday.The Biden campaign declined to comment on the poll results.

The poll also finds consumers feel better about the national economy, with a gradual increase in the number of swing-state voters who say it is on the right track."
