I’m proud that Minnesota is leading the world on fighting forever chemicals. The news that the legislature is caving into corporate lobbyists and striking a deal that delays public information on how these chemicals are used is outrageous - and should be in the news. I have written to my legislators and will be watching for a response.

I just think these deep dives from the AJC have been really well done.

From the Trailer:

For decades, Dalton, Georgia, proudly called itself the "Carpet Capital of the World" — until the costs of relying on a single industry became impossible to ignore. As the town continues to reckon with the long‑term impacts tied to its carpet boom today, city officials have also been searching for what comes next. Enter Core Scientific, a massive tech company that arrived as a bitcoin miner, went bankrupt, and is now pivoting to AI and data center infrastructure. Local leaders see opportunity, while many residents worry about risk, accountability and what history might repeat. This episode of "Curiosities of the South" explores a major manufacturing city in northwest Georgia caught between its past and a high‑stakes future. To learn more about how Dalton got here, watch the full episode on May 19.

How is everyone else feeling about the status of the case?

It seems like we are finally nearing the point where settlement should be coming soon.

I have some unique case attributes and I want to make sure my file is flagged appropriately, but everytime I email my attorney for updates, they respond like they are bothered by the inquiry.

1. Told I had lung cancer, came back thyroid tissue in my lungs. After tests and more tests they said you don’t have cancer, you’re just a weird medical oddity.
2. 4 months later, my medical oddity report was picked up by university of MI. They wanted to study my case. 2 hrs later they called me back saying the first hospital got it wrong, I do have cancer. Stage 4 follicular thyroid cancer that has traveled to my lungs.
3. Thyroid removal, 10 day isolation after extremely high dose RAI
4. My spouse was also diagnosed with MS 2 days prior
5. We lived in a contamination hot spot that had levels 400% over minimum.
6. Documented severe mental health decline.
7. The U of MI dr did a case study on me and it was published.

I want to make sure I get every $ I’m able. How do I communicate this properly.

Living in Texas I keep hearing about the investigation into Lululemon’s fabrics. Of course I have way too much Lululemon now and am curious. However, I feel like no one else is curious?
