Canadians Warned About Crime In Costa Rica
Canada has updated its travel advice page for Costa Rica, keeping our country under a nationwide recommendation to “exercise a high degree of caution” because of crime. The Canadian government’s advisory was updated yesterday, and lists Costa Rica under the caution category rather than a do-not-travel warning. The notice applies to the country as a whole and does not single out one region for a higher national risk level.

Everything Trump Touches Turns To...

Debris from the White House’s demolished East Wing– knocked down to make way for President Donald Trump’s $400 million ballroom– tested positive for lead after being dumped at a public golf course, according to the National Park Service.

The rubble was also found to contain chromium, PCBs, pesticides, petroleum byproducts, and other toxic chemicals at levels over laboratory reporting limits in soil, a report requested by the park service found. Over 30,000 cubic yards of debris from the White House construction project have been dumped at the East Potomac Golf Links course since October.

The choice of the nearby golf course as a dumping ground was highly scrutinized following previous reports that Trump was looking to rebrand the course. Trump reportedly autographed a rendering of a new golden logo for the redesign proposal

Trump Won't Stop Slapping His Face On Everything Because of Some Law.

Fifteen House Democrats told a federal judge last week that the administration’s use of President Donald Trump’s image on national park passes poses a direct threat to congressional power.

Rep. Jared Huffman of California, the Natural Resources Committee’s top Democrat, and Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) filed a proposed amicus brief last Wednesday with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The filing comes as an environmental group seeks to have Trump’s image removed from “America the Beautiful” passes, which grant entry to fee-based national parks and other public lands.

As of Monday, the court had not accepted the Democrats’ brief.
