Advocates Fight For Those , Sickened By US Nuclear Testing , Program on Capitol Hill.
On June 7, the federal Radiation Exposure Compensation
Act (RECA) program is set to expire, ending a lifeline
for families sickened by the country's nuclear testing. .
On June 7, the federal Radiation Exposure Compensation
Act (RECA) program is set to expire, ending a lifeline
for families sickened by the country's nuclear testing. .
NPR reports that advocates have gathered
on Capitol Hill to fight for so-called atomic
veterans and save the RECA program.
Over the past year, multiple bipartisan
bills were approved by the Senate to
reauthorize and expand the program. .
Those bills stalled out in the House,
due to some Republicans objecting
to the cost of the program. .
According to sponsors of the bills, those concerns
were addressed by reducing the initial 2023 estimate
of $143 billion down to between $50 and $60 billion. .
NPR reports that RECA has provided payments up to
$75,000 to those sickened by the nuclear testing
program, totaling $2.7 billion to over 400,000 recipients. .
One of the groups fighting to have
the program extended is the
Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium. .
The group works to raise awareness of illnesses
linked to Trinity, the government's code word for
the first nuclear bomb test, which took place in 1945.
Martinez White, a member of the group,
says fallout from those tests resulted in at
least six cases of cancer in her family of ten. .
I would often go home for
funerals and everybody in
Tularosa was dying of cancer.
We knew something was very weird. , Martinez White, Tularosa Basin
Downwinders Consortium member, via NPR.
There's no industry in the whole
Tularosa Basin but for White Sands
Missile Range, where the
Trinity bomb was detonated, Martinez White, Tularosa Basin
Downwinders Consortium member, via NPR

In the United States, the presidential election campaign is in full swing. Young voters are often considered difficult to reach. And with both Democrats and Republicans fielding candidates born in the 1940s, the parties are worried about how to get the youth vote out.

Biden Asserts Executive Privilege , Over Audio of Interview With Robert Hur.
In February, Hur's yearlong investigation
into whether President Biden mishandled classified documents ended without enough evidence to support criminal charges.
In February, Hur's yearlong investigation
into whether President Biden mishandled classified documents ended without enough evidence to support criminal charges.
House Republicans were provided a
transcript of Biden's interview with Hur, but they wanted the audio, which the DOJ denied.
As a result, House Republicans were
moving to hold Attorney General
Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress.
On May 16, the Department of Justice told House Republicans that the president asserted executive privilege over audio from his interview with the special counsel.
The move protects Garland from criminal exposure as GOP lawmakers seek to hold him accountable.
Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte
explained the DOJ's actions in a letter.
The Attorney General must draw a line
that safeguards the Department from
improper political influence and protects
our principles, our law enforcement work,
and the people who carry out that work
independently, without fear or favor, Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte, via letter .
The Committees seek to hold the
Attorney General in contempt
not for failing in his duties,
but for upholding them, Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte, via letter .
With the information you now have,
the Committees ought not to proceed
with contempt and should instead avoid
unnecessary and unwarranted conflict, Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte, via letter .
White House Counsel Ed Siskel also wrote a letter supporting the assertion of executive privilege. .
The absence of a legitimate need
for the audio recordings lays bare
your likely goalâto chop them up,
distort them, and use them for
partisan political purposes, White House Counsel Ed Siskel, via letter

âNew York Timesâ Poll , Indicates Trouble for Biden.
Donald Trump was found to be "leading in
five out of six swing states," 'The Hill' reports. .
Wisconsin is the only swing
state where Biden is leading.
In 2020, Biden won all six swing states.
The May 13 poll also indicated that support for Biden is dwindling among young voters,
as well as Black and Hispanic voters.
Whatâs so impressive about this is
polls have historically underestimated
Trumpâs support, not overestimated
Trumpâs support, Ford OâConnell, a Republican strategist, via 'The Hill'.
And then if you couple this poll
with nearly 100,000 people
showing up in Arctic blue New
Jersey, this is a disaster for Biden, Ford OâConnell, a Republican strategist, via 'The Hill'.
And then if you couple this poll

Biden supporters, however, say that polling conducted this far away from election day should be taken with a grain of salt.
The only consistency in recent
public polls is inconsistency. , Geoff Garin, Biden campaign pollster, via 'The Hill'.
These results need to be weighed against
the 30-plus polls that show Biden up and
gaining â which is exactly why drawing
broad conclusions about the race based
on results from one poll is a mistake. , Geoff Garin, Biden campaign pollster, via 'The Hill'.
The reality is that many voters are not paying
close attention to the election and have not
started making up their minds â a dynamic
also reflected in todayâs poll. , Geoff Garin, Biden campaign pollster, via 'The Hill'.
These voters will decide this election,
and only the Biden campaign is doing
the work to win them over, Geoff Garin, Biden campaign pollster, via 'The Hill'
