If the future version of the #GOP is going to make #Trump & #MAGA look sane & reasonable, it will be crazy indeed, & it will guarantee the utter #destruction of #America. Trump himself is doing that, & risking the destruction of the global #economy, if not the world, @foreignpolicy. A lunatic like him belongs in a #psychiatric ward, not the #WhiteHouse, & not with his finger on the #American #nuclear trigger!

"'The most striking finding was the sheer breadth & severity of the impact from #airpollution exposure. We found that #air #pollutants were significantly associated with the accelerated onset of different chronic #diseases, spanning almost every major organ system.
