Credit where it's due: the NYT has done excellent work here investigating Trump's taxes. Doesn't make up for their awful Beltway coverage the past few decades, but they deserve a cookie for this one.

The EPA is pursuing rule changes that experts say would weaken the way radiation exposure is regulated, turning to scientific outliers who argue that a bit of radiation damage is actually good for you — like a little bit of sunlight.

I'm catching up on the Daily Show. I think this is the 1st October episode. Trevor Noah has just alluded to "Trump" being more orange than ever with the comment "I don't think I've seen him that pumpkin spiced before".
Does a departure from "Trump"'s team mean anything any more? Did she push or was she jumped? Is it just a case of the revolving door caught her butt this time?
Adoption fees in the USA from $5-40K, I think I found the child traffickers.
The money side, check.
Probably a political side too ... somehow it reminds me of Australian policy of taking Aboriginal children away from their families and having them fostered/adopted into white families "for their own good".
I'm not familiar with this Richard Wolffe but he's clearly made of more optimistic stuff than I am. This article is full of predictions of doom for the "Trump" administration, and I just don't see it happening any time soon.

But Trump is a beached whale of a boss, taking his last gasps of power before the House subpoenas start flying, and the Mueller investigation lays out its evidence of conspiracies and corruption like so much captured contraband.

I'm sure someone must have uttered the word before, at some point. Just not while everyone was standing around being filmed with big shit eating grins on their faces.
