Springfield official told a Vance staffer before the debate rumors about Haitian immigrants were ‘baseless,’ mayor confirms | CNN Politics
…The Trump campaign continued to push false claims about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, even after a top city leader told a campaign staffer for its vice presidential nominee ahead of this month’s presidential debate the rumors were “baseless,” the city’s mayor said, confirming a Wall Street Journal report.
A staffer of vice presidential candidate JD Vance called Springfield City Manager Bryan Heck on September 9 and asked if there was any truth in rumors that Haitian immigrants were taking and eating pets in Springfield, Heck told the Journal.
“He asked point-blank, ‘Are the rumors true of pets being taken and eaten?’” Heck told the outlet. “I told him no. There was no verifiable evidence or reports to show this was true. I told them these claims were baseless…”

Abortion pills will become controlled substances in Louisiana on Oct. 1 : NPR (Me: USDOJ take action!!!)
Louisiana will classify two pills used for medication abortions as controlled substances starting October 1. This is causing panic among medical providers, because one of those drugs – misoprostol – is used to prevent women from bleeding out after giving birth or having a miscarriage.
JENNIFER AVEGNO: It’s really a potential matter of life and death.
FADEL: That’s Dr. Jennifer Avegno, the director of the New Orleans Health Department. She spoke with me about how the new law impacts medical providers like her.
AVEGNO: Misoprostol is often the first-line medication that is given when a woman is either at risk of having a severe hemorrhage or is demonstrating that she is hemorrhaging. It is safe. It is really easy to administer. And when you are in a patient’s room in the labor and delivery suite, things happen very, very quickly. That’s why most OBs, most hospitals, have some version of a hemorrhage cart that can be wheeled into the room, ready to go, with easily accessible medications – misoprostol being often the first line.

More than 700 national security officials endorse Kamala Harris for president | US elections 2024 | The Guardian
More than 700 national security leaders and former military officials publicly endorsed Kamala Harris for president in a letter released on Sunday, calling her a candidate who “defends America’s democratic ideals”.
They also said her Republican rival, Donald Trump, was “unfit” for the job.
The letter, signed by retired US navy R Adm Michael Smith and hundreds of others, criticized the former president’s remarks about “terminating” the US constitution over his lie that the 2020 election was stolen and his suggestion of becoming a “dictator” if re-elected.
The group also condemned Trump’s lack of remorse for the January 6 Capitol attack.

Gretchen Whitmer calls Trump ‘deranged’ after comments on abortion | Donald Trump | The Guardian
Gretchen Whitmer, the governor of Michigan, called Donald Trump “just deranged” on Sunday after he said women would no longer be thinking about abortion if he is elected as president in November.
“This guy just doesn’t understand what the average woman is confronting in her life in this country, and how could he? He’s not lived a normal life,” Whitmer said in an interview on CNN’s State of the Union.
Whitmer also reaffirmed her support for Harris, describing her as a person “who has worked hourly jobs, who knows how important it is that women have healthcare and access to the medical care that they need”.
Whitmer was asked to comment about a speech Trump delivered on Saturday, saying women “will be happy, healthy, confident, and free” if he is elected president.

L’Onagro persiano, asinello più strettamente imparentato con il cavallo | le pagine dei nostri libri

Il 3 agosto 2024 nello zoo di Chester è nato un cucciolo di onagro persiano, un animale considerato tra i più rari e in pericolo di estinzione.
Il piccolo, chiamato Jasper, è stato portato in grembo dalla madre Azita per un anno intero ed è molto importante per la conservazione delle specie. Il nome Jasper, significa infatti “portatore di tesori”.
Il puledro è molto attivo ed ora solleva nuvole di sabbia con le sue corse spensierate ed è una delle attrazioni principali dello zoo di Chester.
Gli onagri persiani hanno una popolazione selvatica che conta ormai solo circa 600 esemplari.
L’onagro è una specie di asino selvatico, il cui nome deriva dal greco e significa proprio “asino selvatico”.
Sebbene possa ricordare un asinello domestico, l’onagro è più strettamente imparentato con i cavalli e si distingue per il suo mantello marrone chiaro e la notevole velocità, che può raggiungere i 70 km/h.
Originario dell’Iran, un tempo l’onagro era diffuso nei deserti di Mongolia e Cina ma oggi sopravvive solo in due riserve protette in Iran: la Riserva della Biosfera di Touran e l’area protetta di Bahram-e-Goor.
