They just finally, after a 20+ year fight, got the Klamath river un-damned & now this. 🤬

I wonder if this includes tires ground up for ground cover and spread on yards & play grounds

Thank you sincerely Excellency Senator Merkley for caring about Food Security and safety in America.

Available information on 6PPD-quinone indicates that it is toxic enough to quickly kill some fish. A 2021 publication in the journal Science linked coho salmon death to 6PPD-quinone in stormwater. Concentrations in stormwater were found to be lethal for coho salmon following exposures lasting only a few hours

this man is an embarassment. why does he refuse to talk to activists who are begging him to support legislation that would keep their family and friends in the Philippines from being threatened, attacked, arrested, tortured, and/or killed by their own government?
