Despite Danforth naming Hawley, it sure seems like Mr. big name, a long friend to big businesses connected to the regional 'partners in pollution' (responsible for poisoning STL), is actually taking aim at community change-making & accountability led by local moms. Super weird
Wait what!? I mean- Danforth was AG when the rad waste was illegally dumped at West Lake! He was Sen in 1990 when RECA was first introduced + passed. He had more opportunity than any of the people you name dropped to “get it done” didn’t he? Also- Blunt + McCaskill did try fyi

I’ll do more than put up signs. As Attorney General, I will hold the feds accountable for poisoning families with nuclear waste and ensure there is a real cleanup. This guy sues Biden for everything, but when it comes to protecting our families, he’s writing letters.

Yes! How dare ANYONE try and dangle help for one community poisoned by their government with radioactive waste from the Manhattan Project in exchange for leaving the others to just die! How un American!! Then turn around and mock our sick children with this article!
Who made the Manhattan Project possible? Everyday Americans like the residents of St. Louis & St. Charles who gave their health to support their country. They deserve thanks—not mockery from outlets like the WSJ. And now they deserve the SUPPORT of every member of Congress

I’m standing with my colleagues today to demand @SpeakerJohnson bring RECA for a vote. We must give victims of radiation exposure the compensation they are owed. They CANNOT wait any longer. nitter.gq/i/broadcasts/1MYxNMBlL…

Victims of nuclear waste exposure are once again on the Capitol Hill to make their case for the House to pass RECA. Bipartisan Sens. Heinrich, Hawley, and Lujan all in the room to advocate for the bill, which cleared the Senate in March. The House has not yet taken it up.

Want more proof? Here's the MO DHSS Cancer Analysis & ATSDR Health Assessment on St. Louisans living around the Manhattan Project radioactive sites in Missouri. I'm also fairly certain we are the only community in the nation w/a burning radioactive superfund site. #themoreyouknow
