The sad decline in Cal/OSHA’s worker protection program. The state has some great standards, but standards are only as good as the state's ability to enforcement. And that's where Cal/OSHA -- and the workers it is supposed to protect -- run into problems.

Do you think anyone he trusts, like maybe Melania, ever says "Donald, stop it. You are embarrassing yourself."
Obviously fabricated. Obviously!
Give him a break. He's really busy with the time-consuming job of planning his ballroom. Oh, and then there's that splendid little war.
Imagine if your elected representative regularly said he hated you and thinks you should be thrown out of the United States. The ugliness, the bigotry of anti-Islamic rhetoric as Republicans shifting "back to an old standby." www.nytimes.com/2026/04/19/u...

The Wash Post has a long history of hostility toward unions, favoring indentured servitude over basic human rights.

How about 250 centemeters
Whoa, wait a minute. Dead children, higher gas prices, rising inflation and world economic collapse are one thing. But Trump's war threatening golf? This must end! Now! The humanity!

Trump continues efforts started during his 1st term to weaken EPA rules that prevent chemical incidents & protect those living nearby. The right of residents to know what chemicals nearby facilities use had been strengthened during Obama & Biden administrations

At this rate, his ERA will be higher than some of his teammates' batting average.
How workers died last week: trench collapse, parking lot collapse, crushed by a forklift, tanker truck explosion, pinned under pipes, medical emergency, grain bin incident, electrocuted to death, tree-trimming, shootings, and vehicular collisions.

I'm nominating this for the Understatement of the Year.
There is a major national silicosis epidemic.
Unless steps are taken to change what’s going on now, in a very dramatic way, we’ll continue to see more and more workers develop silicosis and die from silicosis.
