THREAD 5: HON RULE PENDING TAKEDOWN Of all 2024 actions to tighten Clean Air Act, arguably most important was the HON rule, covering giant chemical plants like Indorama Port Neches. When these plants have leaks, they are massive in scale. Consider this 2022 incident at Indorama: 152 hours

I’m reposting this yet again because we need to do more to combat against this type of dereliction of duty and abandonment of human morality

JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...
