STORM’S A’COMIN’ IN
(CNN) Hurricane Sam is gathering in the Atlantic, marking the 18th named storm of the season. It's set to become a major hurricane, but we still don't know where exactly it will go.
HAITIAN INVASION
(CNN) The Haitian migrant crisis at the southern US border in Texas has exposed deep divides in the Biden administration over how to best address a complex problem with no easy solution. Daniel Foote, the US special envoy for Haiti, resigned yesterday, saying he could not be associated with what he called the "inhumane" decision by the US to deport thousands of Haitian refugees to a homeland in turmoil. He and other Democratic leaders have criticized the administration’s vow to turn away Haitian migrants arriving at the border, while some Republicans like Texas Gov. Greg Abbott have said the administration isn’t doing enough to stem the influx. The Department of Homeland Security has also temporarily suspended the use of horse patrol in the Del Rio, Texas, area after images surfaced of mounted DHS officers aggressively confronting migrants.
VAXX MADNESS
(CNN) Covid-19 vaccine boosters can officially begin for certain groups of adults after the CDC approved the decision. CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky recommended boosters for people ages 65 and older, residents of long-term care facilities, certain people with underlying medical conditions, and people ages 18 to 64 who are at increased risk of Covid-19 because of their workplaces or institutional settings. That last group was actually not included in the recommendations of the CDC’s vaccine advisers, but the CDC leader included them in the final approval, in line with FDA recommendations.
CAN WE PLEASE SHUTDOWN THE GOVT
(CNN) The Senate is set to vote Monday on a motion to advance a temporary government funding bill that includes a suspension of the debt ceiling. Republicans are still planning to block the bill because of the debt ceiling provision, which they oppose. If they do and the bill fails, Democrats have two options to address the possible shutdown looming at the end of the month: They could remove the debt ceiling provision from the bill and pass it with GOP support, or they could just let the government go unfunded and blame their colleagues across the aisle. A reminder of the timeline here: Government funding runs out at midnight on September 30. The government will reach its borrowing limit in mid-October, which could trigger a first-ever US default.
ANOTHER MASS SHOOTING
(CNN) At least one person was killed and 14 others injured in a shooting yesterday at a Kroger in Collierville, Tennessee, near Memphis. The shooter was also found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, police officials said. So far, police don’t think there was an incident that led up to the shooting. This year is shaping up to be the worst year for US gun violence in decades, surpassing even last year’s unusually high numbers. A total of 14,516 people died from gun violence in the US from January 1 to September 15, marking a 9% increase over last year, according to the Gun Violence Archive. There have been 498 mass shootings during that period -- a 15% increase over last year.

GERMANY SHALL RISE AGAIN
(CNN) Germany faces a historic general election Sunday as voters determine who will succeed longtime Chancellor Angela Merkel. Merkel, who has “led” the country (INTO HELL) since 2005, announced in 2018 that she would not seek reelection after her term. She'll step down once a successor is clear, which may take days or weeks. This landmark decision could open the door for a significant shift in German politics.
Merkel’s “center-right” (CNN’s words) Christian Democratic Union as well as the “left-leaning” Social Democratic Party dominate German politics, but the Green Party is gaining ground, and a “far-right” party jockeys for fourth place in the hierarchy. The three top parties are well represented now, and the election is bound to be close, as polling suggests a large number of undecided voters.

FAKE CLIMATE HYPE
(TheSkimm) The EPA’s slashing hydrofluorocarbons.
HFCs for short. They're powerful greenhouse gases typically found in AC units and fridges. And in leaky US supermarket freezers. In the 1980s, HFCs were considered a better option than chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). But as it turns out, HFCs are thousands of times stronger than carbon dioxide at trapping heat and warming the Earth (OH DEAR! SO Y’ALL BEEN FALSELY FEARMONGERING ABOUT CARBON DIOXIDE ALL THIS TIME? OR AM I THE DUMMY?).
Last year, Congress passed a bipartisan law (USUALLY A BAD SIGN) to force people to reduce HFCs. The EPA wants to meddle. Now, the SLEEPY Biden admin’s following up.
Yesterday, the EPA issued a rule to cut down HFC production and use by 85% over the next 15 years.
The Biden admin also launched a task force to prevent people from illegally importing or producing the substance – something European countries have been dealing with. GREAT WE WANNA BE LIKE COMMIE CUCKED EUROPE.
It's apparently the first time the gov's set nationwide standards on HFCs. And the transition to more energy-efficient cooling (like ammonia) could save the US over $270 billion over 30 years. If other countries get on board, the EPA estimates that the Earth could avoid 0.5°C of warming by 2100. OH GOSH.
The White House says the new rule will create "and maintain" hundreds of thousands of jobs. YEAH RIGHT. … gov officials are calling it a major win in the fight against climate change.
NOT READ: New rule could mean extra costs for businesses (example: to update all their appliances)
BTW: United Nations climate change conference in November.
NOT READ: OH GOSH
(TheSkimm) The EU. Yesterday, officials announced plans to require smartphone companies to use the same charging cord for phones. For years, certain companies (people blame Apple) have strayed from more universal charging ports. Now, the EU's goal: to help the bloc cut down on electronic waste (I guess in the form of extra / obsolete charging cords). But Apple's reportedly worried this will restrict its creative freedom. EU IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED!
