While the threat of a chemical tank blast in CA has eased, 16K residents still can’t go home. ~180 million Americans live near a facility capable of causing a catastrophic chemical disaster. Instead of strengthening safeguards, the Trump admin has proposed to weaken them: apnews.com/article/cali...
