Okay, now #trump is claiming to be tackling #toxic #chemical exposure & heralding #RFKJr as the #health secy. This will be very difficult for me to watch. #Liar.

Holy shit, he’s claiming a kid received #transition #medical procedures at school during the school day. Literally impossible.

He says #transgender care is mutilation.

#Trump’s #DOJ is to drop suit over alleged #cancer-causing #pollution

#Justice is poised to drop a landmark lawsuit alleging that cancer-causing pollution from a #Louisiana #petrochemical plant poses an imminent danger to nearby communities….
 The lawsuit alleges that the Denka Performance Elastomer plant in #LaPlace, LA, threatens local residents by releasing unsafe levels of the #toxic #chemical #chloroprene.

What has been extraordinary, #health & #legal experts said, is the extent of the #industry’s effort to block the EPA’s scientific work on a #chemical long acknowledged as a #carcinogen, & how the architect of the effort was back at the agency as a regulator of #chemicals. At the same time, the #Trump admin has moved to sharply reduce the federal scientific work force.

#Formaldehyde, the #chemical of choice for undertakers & embalmers, is also used in products like furniture & clothes. But it can also cause #cancer & severe #respiratory problems. So, in 2021, the #EPA began a new effort to #regulate it.
The #chemicals industry fought back w/an intensity that astonished even seasoned ofcls. Its campaign was led by Lynn Dekleva, then a lobbyist at the American Chemistry Council, an #industry group that spends millions on govt #lobbying.

Jim Jones, the director of the #FDA’s #FoodSafety division, resigned on Mon, citing what he called “indiscriminate” layoffs that would make it “fruitless for him to continue.”

In his resignation letter, Jones estimated that 89 people of the 2k in his division were fired over the weekend, many of them freshly hired to do more in-depth work on #chemical #safety to protect the nation’s #food supply.

Electric propulsion systems are not #energy limited. An arbitrarily large amount of energy can be delivered (from a #solar or #nuclear power system) to a given mass of propellant so that the exhaust velocity (or specific impulse) can be much larger than that available from a #chemical propulsion system. Electric propulsion systems are termed "#power limited" https://sci.esa.int/web/smart-1/-/34201-electric-spacecraft-propulsion?section=electric-versus-chemical-propulsion

The #3Dprinted prototype was able to generate thrust more #efficiently than larger, more expensive #chemical rockets and outperformed existing droplet #electrospray engines. It can be produced rapidly and for a fraction of the #cost of traditional thrusters and even be fully made in #orbit https://news.mit.edu/2025/mit-engineers-develop-fully-3d-printed-electrospray-engine-0212
