Loman loppuminen ja pakkaaminen voi tuntua ikävältä. Jopa niin ikävältä, että laukkujen kasaaminen oven eteen tuntuu hyvältä ajatukselta. Säärebori. Lomia joiden et soisi loppuvan.

Mikä tässä kampiksessa hiertää? Prisma. Big selection. Little prices. Niin? Sä et kuule sitä. Kuule mitä? Sano se sana monta kertaa. Mikä sana? Little. Little. Joo. Little. Ja vielä? Little.

wow these hearings in the united states senate during the government shutdown this week have been absolutely explosive you had one hearing where democratic senators were exposing that in the demolition of the white house east wing the construction workers may have been exposed to deadly asbestos we'll talk about that then there was another hearing and what should have been a sleepy

senaattisen työntekijöiden puolustusjärjestelmässä, kuten Dan Diamond kertoo sen kautta, mutta sitten kuului, että Maga-republikanin senaattori Bernie Moreno oli vihreästi rauhoittamassa demokraattisen senaattorin Jackie Rosenin. Hän rauhoittoi juuri uudestaan hänen autonsa, jotta hän saisi hänet VIN-numeroon.

ja demokraattinen jäkki Rosin sanoi, että olitko sinä myöntänyt minua? Katsotko minun VIN-numeroa, menitkö minun järjestelmään? Mitä ihanaa olet tekemässä? Ja sitten oli vielä enemmän kuin se. Silloin oli kuvaus, jossa valtuutettu poliittinen jäkki kertoi Yhdysvaltojen ennen. Ja sitten oli nämä magarepublikanit, jotka sanoivat, että yksittäinen

116.03 - 132.803 Ben Meiselas

who beat and almost killed this Capitol Police officer deserve to be pardoned. And there's even more explosive data than that and details than that. So let me go through with you what went down. The first thing I want to show you is where you have Democratic Senator Markey

132.803 - 153.61 Ben Meiselas

He are questioning some of these witnesses at this hearing about apprenticeship programs that are offered by unions that the Trump regime is gutting. And Senator Markey uses his time to ask these apprenticeship union leaders who help with these apprenticeship programs

153.61 - 183.58 Ben Meiselas

Oletko ymmärtänyt, oliko jokin asbestoskontrolli tai asetukset tehty Eestisjärvellä, jolloin se pysähtyi White Housella? Koska he käyttivät kansainvälisiä työntekijöitä. Joten tämän jälkeen näimme näitä vauhtia Eestisjärven ulkopuolelta, jotka näyttivät niin kuin ne, joita näemme aina todella syvällisiin ja ongelmallisiin asbestoskysymyksiin. Ja me tiedämme, että asbestosi käytettiin Eestisjärvellä ja Donald Trumpin rauhassa

183.58 - 212.42 Ben Meiselas

to tear down the East Wing. What we may uncover in the future is that he exposed those workers who did not go through the steps that the safety precautions that take place in unions, because Trump went around the unions, that Trump may have exposed those workers to very deadly asbestos exposure, where those people may die early in the future. Watch this questioning, and again, you haven't seen this in many other places, and hat tip to Dan Diamond for flagging it. Here, play this clip.

Chapter 2: What explosive revelations came from the Senate hearings regarding asbestos exposure?

903.316 - 932.223 Unknown

General President Donnelly, could you add your perspective to this situation as it's unfolding? No, I would echo the same sentiments from President Booker. The one other piece I guess I would add would be that we put a lot of time, energy, effort and resources into training to do this offshore wind work. And that all just came to a screeching halt. And so now we have a bunch of members with a bunch of credentialing that we don't know if we're going to be able to put back to work in the future. Next we see

Senator Adam Schiff from California asking critical questions during this week's Senate agriculture confirmation hearing about why is the Department of Agriculture stealing people's personal private data? And are they selling it to AI companies? Are they selling it to government contractors? Are they spying on people? Why are they getting and gathering data?

958.919 - 986.054 Ben Meiselas

all of this data on people and creating a database and a list. Is this part of the further plan to put Americans and migrants into concentration camps that ICE and Border Patrol is doing here? Play this clip right here. Mr. Wolk, can you tell us what the legal authority is that USDA is relying on to collect, store and share the personal data of tens of millions of Americans, including social security numbers, home addresses,

simply because they received or applied for SNAP benefits? Senator, I appreciate that question. My understanding is that there were four requests for state recipient data. One of the requests was made in May, and so I was at FNCS. But as I recall, I had no involvement in drafting or issuing that particular request. But I was aware of what was going on.

Haluaisin sanoa, että tiedän, että jokaisella järjestelmällä löytyy lainsäädäntöä. Haluan välttämättä antaa mielestäni minkälaista se voisi olla, koska se voi olla ongelma.

1040.375 - 1056.659 Unknown

Mr. Walke, if confirmed, are you committed to reviewing this policy independently, objectively, to ensure that it does not violate federal privacy laws, which protect Americans' personal data and identities?

1057.688 - 1083.912 Ben Meiselas

Sir, I appreciate that question and I will say that I think the collection of data itself is something that we need to look at in general. As a 24-year federal employee, I certainly understand the privacy implications and that we have laws that protect data throughout the information lifecycle from collection to

1083.912 - 1101.057 Ben Meiselas

to transmission, to storage, to disposal. And I want to make sure that as we use the data technologies, which carries promise, that we also make sure that we deploy them in a way that abides by the law.

1101.057 - 1128.749 Ben Meiselas

Now, here was a moment, a very somber moment for me to even watch this, to see what even took place. You're going to see all of the Republican witnesses at this Senate hearing. So the MAGA Republicans wanted to do this performative hearing on political violence. All the violence takes place with Democrats. It's all Democrats' fault. But Democrats were pushing back at this hearing. And here you have Democratic Senator Welch
