And one way to reduce such exposure .....

#CRBox w/ Clean Air Delivery rates greater than nearly all commercial HEPA air cleaners (both at high flow) for wildfire particles @ 1/3rd to 1/7th the initial cost and generally lower filter replacement cost. IT;s not rocket science, folks, and it works!

Lawyer for Venezuelans deported to El Salvador prison arrested Ruth LΓ³pez held without access to lawyers at secret location accused of β€˜embezzlement’ a decade ago

None of the 278 men sent to CECOT have been returned. Meanwhile their lawyer has been arrested and "disappeared" in El Salvador.

Hey, do you know what you call a guy who never admits a mistake, who becomes President of the United States by never admitting a mistake, who then convinces his entire presidential administration to never admitβ€”let alone correctβ€”any mistake, leading to innocents getting life sentences?

A sociopath.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"
