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.

Biden Asserts Executive Privilege Over Audio of Interview With Robert Hur [Video]

Biden Asserts Executive Privilege Over Audio of Interview With Robert Hur

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 goal—to chop them up, distort them, and use them for partisan political purposes, White House Counsel Ed Siskel, via letter

‘New York Times’ Poll Indicates Trouble for Biden [Video]

‘New York Times’ Poll Indicates Trouble for Biden

‘New York Times’ 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. What’s so impressive about this is polls have historically underestimated Trump’s support, not overestimated Trump’s support, Ford O’Connell, 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 O’Connell, 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 O’Connell, a Republican strategist, via 'The Hill'. 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 — 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 — a dynamic also reflected in today’s 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'
