Sign the petition: Louis DeJoy's USPS is a complete mess

 

Trump-appointed head of the USPS, Louis DeJoy, was hauled in front of the U.S. Senate last week to answer for the complete mess at the Post Office. He’s overseeing higher prices (up 45% under DeJoy!), worse service (mail delays across the country are at an all-time high), and massive, unexplained mail delays in Atlanta.1 When Senator Jon Ossoff asked Louis DeJoy for answers as to why his constituents in Atlanta and small businesses in the area were experiencing massive mail delays and lost packages, DeJoy had nothing to say. DeJoy admitted he hadn’t even read an important letter Senator Ossoff sent him six weeks earlier about delays in Atlanta.2 This is all part of the Trump appointee’s disastrous reign as head of the Post Office. DeJoy’s plan to raise mail prices, cut staff, and privatize the USPS looks like a complete mismanaged mess. DeJoy must be held accountable. Sign the petition: Urge President Biden to fill two openings on the USPS Board of Governors to save the USPS from DeJoy. We need a USPS Board who will get the USPS back on track and stop DeJoy’s disastrous privatization plan. ADD YOUR NAME President Biden could have appointed two new officials to the USPS Board of Governors in December when the terms of two board members expired, and put an end to DeJoy’s plan to destroy the Post Office as we know it. President Biden can still do it now, and he must before things get even worse. And now, even Republicans are complaining about DeJoy — as constituents struggle with ongoing mail service issues and promised post offices in rural areas go unfinished. DeJoy’s tenure has been a disaster for service and USPS workers. Trump appointed DeJoy in 2018 to oversee privatization of the postal service. Since then, DeJoy has cut postal worker staffing by over 30 million hours in 2023, and dramatically reduced wages for two thirds of rural mail carriers.3 Since being put in his role by Trump, DeJoy has been bad for consumers and workers — President Biden must do everything he can to check DeJoy’s power.

Help us stop this toxic that kills salmon within hours

 

A toxic byproduct from rubber tires in urban watersheds kills up to 100% of coho salmon returning to spawn upstream – within hours. Earthjustice is fighting back. Please, help us save salmon.  All tires contain 6PPD and release a breakdown product known as 6PPD-quinone or “6PPD-Q,” which washes into waterways during storms. 6PPD-Q is the second most toxic chemical to aquatic species ever evaluated, second only to the chemical war agent “parathion,” which has been banned across the globe due to its high toxicity. Salmon and trout populations have declined dramatically and cannot recover if 6PPD-Q keeps poisoning their environment. Entire ecosystems and communities rely on these species for survival. Earthjustice submitted a petition on behalf of the Yurok, Port Gamble S’Klallam, and Puyallup Tribes, urging the EPA to establish new regulations on 6PPD under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The TSCA requires the EPA to ban or regulate chemicals in commerce that pose unreasonable risks to human health or the environment. In November, the EPA granted the Tribes’ petition, agreeing that it must take action. Earth Day was on Monday, April 22. This annual event was created to encourage protecting the environment, in part because our health is intertwined with our planet’s. Today, that truth is more apparent than ever as we fight against the disastrous results of climate change and biodiversity loss, and for the basic human right to clean air and water. Earthjustice has been fighting cases that clearly demonstrate human interdependence on the natural world. We are an environmental organization, but we are always fighting for you, too. The support we’ve received from donors just like you is the reason we can keep fighting – and winning – important cases. If you’re able to donate before the end of April, our Board of Trustees will match your gift $2:$1, or $3:$1 for a full year if you start a monthly gift today.

“Mini” Witness Was LETHAL for Trump at Trial

Sometimes the most mild-mannered witnesses for the prosecution are used to set up and bolster the future testimony of more controversial witnesses later in the case. Michael Popok explains how the Manhattan DA this week used Trump’s 30 + year right-hand person — little known Rhona Graff against him at the New York criminal trial by having her: (a) bolster the future testimony of Trump’s other assistant- Madeline Westerhaut— who can cooperate Michael Cohen’s testimony; (b) put Trump in New York during key dates on the prosecution’s timeline in mid-January 2017 before he left for the White House; and (c) bolster the future testimony of Stormy Daniels; Karen McDougal and Michael Cohen before they take the stand, all while Trump smiled and nodded during her testimony in court.

CNN — 

Thirty-five rail cars of a train derailed in New Mexico Friday afternoon, prompting evacuations and forcing a 50-mile stretch of Interstate 40 to close.

McKinley County Fire & Rescue was dispatched around 12:40 p.m. Friday after the train derailed and caught fire off Interstate 40 near the state line. Six of the derailed train cars were carrying propane, according to BNSF Railway.

Evacuation orders were issued and remain in place for residents within a two-mile radius of the derailment and fire along the New Mexico state line with Arizona, according to an update from BNSF Railway.

Interstate 40 also remains closed in both directions and traffic is being rerouted, BNSF said. There is currently “no projected end to this closure,” said New Mexico State Police on Facebook.

A team of National Transportation Safety Board investigators is expected to arrive later Saturday. Once on site, their investigators will start documenting the scene and examining the train and equipment involved in the derailment, the NTSB said.

NM TRAIN DERAILEMENT

Investigation underway after freight train carrying fuel derails near Arizona-New Mexico border

A two-mile evacuation was issued following the derailment.

Federal authorities are investigating after a freight train carrying fuel derailed near the Arizona-New Mexico border, igniting a large fire and prompting an evacuation and traffic closures.

A BNSF freight train derailed on Friday at 1:45 p.m. MT near Manuelito, New Mexico, according to the National Transportation Safety Board.

"The preliminary information we have is the train derailed at least 22 cars including multiple propane tank cars," the NTSB said in a statement on Saturday.

Two of the tank cars caught fire, the NTSB said. No injuries were reported, the agency said.

The Federal Railroad Administration is leading the investigation into the derailment, the agency said Saturday. Investigators with the FRA responded to the derailment on Friday, according to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

A team of NTSB investigators is also en route to the scene and is expected to arrive later Saturday to begin documenting the scene and examining the train and equipment.

The train was carrying gasoline and non-odorous propane, according to New Mexico State Police. Heavy black smoke could be seen following the derailment as the train cars burned.

BNSF said in a statement Friday that its personnel were "working to clear the site as safely as possible." The cause of the derailment is under investigation, the freight railroad said.

The derailment has caused traffic disruptions, forcing the temporary closure of part of Interstate 40 and the track. Amtrak has suspended service between Albuquerque and Los Angeles until the track reopens.

The Apache County Sheriff's Office in Arizona, which was among the agencies that responded to the train derailment and fire, said the scene was being treated as a hazardous materials incident and an evacuation was expanded to within a two-mile radius of the event.

The evacuation order impacted parts of the Navajo Nation.

"Our deepest concern is for the safety and well-being of our citizens and those directly affected by this incident," Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren said in a statement on Friday. "At this time, we urge everyone to stay clear of the affected area to allow emergency and hazmat teams to manage the situation efficiently."

Nygren said local emergency crews had informed them there is a "low risk of immediate danger to the public," though they are taking all necessary precautions, including evacuating several homes.

Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs said she is "deeply concerned" about the derailment.

"As we learn more about the situation on the ground, the State of Arizona stands ready to deploy the resources necessary to keep our communities safe," Hobbs said on X Saturday.

Arizona Rep. Ruben Gallego also called the train derailment "incredibly concerning."

"As we gather more information on the severity of the derailment, I stand ready to work with our state partners, federal counterparts, and all Arizonans," Gallego said in a statement on Friday.

Buttigieg said in a statement Friday night on X that the department is "coordinating across state, Tribal, and local agencies to ensure safety in the region."

Michael Chupco was among several Amtrak passengers stranded in an Albuquerque train station following the derailment. He told ABC Albuquerque affiliate KOAT that the next train he could get was on Monday.

"I'm stuck three days out here on the street," Chupco told the station. "I'm 68 years old. I can't handle living on the street."
