Trump Hands Another Victory To Cancer’s Profiteers

A Dow Chemicals facility that exploded in a ball of fire in Plaquemines, Louisiana in 2023, releasing tens of thousands of pounds of carcinogens.

Also wasteful and dangerous was failing to open the city’s public pools in time for a record-breaking heat dome.
