@tedCMG@SenatorLetucius@RT_com Also Paris has only 20% tree cover and almost 70% is impermeable surface such as asphalt and concrete - downtown is of course higher. Terrible environment to be in an apartment for example.
@tedCMG@SenatorLetucius@RT_com In cities full of concrete. I feel terrible for people living in cities with no AC. It’s awful and dangerous. Glad it is cool where you are.
@tedCMG@SenatorLetucius@RT_com I grew up hauling hay, rounding cattle, and flagging crop dusters in a place where the temps stayed in excess of 100° for most of July and some of August. You have poor planning and coping strategies. Also: books are important 🤠
EXPOSED:
12,000 cats are currently confined in US labs.
And we just uncovered secretive NIH-funded cat experiments that will shock you to your core:
At a University of Florida lab, kittens are “bred to suffer from a horrible degenerative brain disease that causes loss of muscle control, dementia, difficulty swallowing, and ultimately death.”
If any of this happened outside of a lab, it would be criminal animal cruelty.
“Instead, it’s being propped up and rewarded with our tax dollars.”
And we have obtained records that show some taxpayer-funded institutions still “round up abandoned pet cats from shelters to lock in labs.”
We’re making progress, but we have a long way to go.
Several years ago, we got the federal government’s largest cat lab shut down.
Over two dozen survivors were retired, including two cats named Delilah and Petite who were adopted by our Founder, Anthony Bellotti.
We also secured groundbreaking legislation that cut funding for cat testing from the VA and the Pentagon, and a complete ban on all cat experiments at the Navy.
Now, the US House’s 2027 spending bills for the NIH and USDA include “first-ever measures cutting funding for painful cat experiments.”
But shutting down funding for these experiments is only part of the solution.
In April, we got the House to pass Violet’s Law, “a bipartisan bill to make animal adoption an option in all federal testing labs,” in the Farm Bill.
Reps. Nancy Mace and Dina Titus led the charge to pass this provision alongside us.
Now, Senators Susan Collins and Gary Peters are urging the Senate to include Violet’s Law in the final version of the Farm Bill.

Correct. And when Pfizer data showed that natural immunity from a prior infection was as good or better than the shot, CDC and FDA covered that up too, so they could get more people to take the shot, exposing even more people to needless risk of serious side effects.
@sarrah_bellus Nope - it happened under Obama, too. This reflecting pool is a flawed design, with chronic problems. Look into how much money was spent during Obama admin. trying to fix it.
@MeidasTouch Almost immediately after the 2012 reopening, massive algae clumps, bird waste, and dead ducks turned the pool into a murky, foul-smelling mess. The National Park Service was forced to repeatedly drain, refill, and recalibrate the system's ozone filtration levels. Old problem.
@MeidasTouch During the Barack Obama administration the Reflecting Pool underwent a massive $34 million project to correct structural sinking and severe water leaks. Despite these efforts, the project failed and triggered severe, recurring algae blooms.
