3. Yet again anoter terrible example of the corruption caused by the money in our politics!

We must band together and fight this! Campaign Contributions, Super PACs, Dark Money, Lobbyists, and the Revolving Door allow the 1% and the corporations to run our country through politicians from both Party's. If they want to get and keep their office they have to provide Quid Pro Quo's to these big Donors. It affects most of the issues of our day, from Climate Change, environment, immigration, minimum wage, LGBT equality, women's issues...

Unless and until we force them to stop their addiction to these legal bribes we will keep getting screwed! Had enough yet?

5. The FDA Food Police .....

Trump targets “the FDA Food Police,” calls for elimination of food-safety regulations in new tax plan, 9/15/16

But perhaps most shockingly, Trump proposed slashing the power of the Food and Drug Administration.

“The FDA Food Police, which dictate how the federal government expects farmers to produce fruits and vegetables and even dictates the nutritional content of dog food,” the Trump campaign fact sheet complained.

“The rules govern the soil farmers use, farm and food production hygiene, food packaging, food temperatures and even what animals may roam which fields and when,” the fact sheet continued. “It also greatly increased inspections of food ‘facilities,’ and levies new taxes to pay for this inspection overkill.”

“My plan will embrace the truth that people flourish under a minimum government burden,” Trump said on Thursday, arguing that slashing protections and regulations would raise the nation’s economic growth rate to at least 3.5 percent.

7. This Blog Is Republishing All the Animal Welfare Records the USDA Deleted

A grassroots effort to recover the extant records has sprung up amid controversy over the USDA’s decision to remove the files from the web.

It's a well known edict that once something has been posted online, it can never be removed. That's turning out to be the case for thousands of animal welfare records that the Department of Agriculture removed from the web last week ( https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/why-did-the-usda-delete-thousands-of-animal-abuse-records-from-its-website ). Now, a government transparency blog is on a mission to recover, and republish, as many of these records as possible.

"Whenever there are documents that were online, but got pulled offline, they're automatically important," said Russ Kick, who runs the blog The Memory Hole 2 ( http://thememoryhole2.org/about/ ), where many of the documents have already been re-published. "Nobody's going to go through the trouble to delete something that doesn't matter."

The documents, which were removed by the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) late last week, included inspection records and annual reports made under the Animal Welfare Act and the Horse Protection Act. The USDA indicated that removing the documents was in response to a court decision, but a spokesperson contacted by Motherboard would not specify what court case.
