The Constitution was not damaged, according to the National Archives Museum, which said that the powder was found to be a combination of pigment and cornstarch.

Good thing all these paintings and historical documents are in well protected cases.
Interesting they’d use powder, a way more suspicious substance than paint.
How the fuck did it cost $50,000 to clean up though? Get a goddamn vacuum, some paper towel, a mop. Fifty goddamn thousand?
Likely because they had to consider the possibility of dangerous chemicals and pathogens.
slap on a respirator and gloves for an extra $200, still not 50k
very intersting
Private crime scene clean up crew. Need to scrub the brain matter off the ceiling before it soaks in and makes the next tenants uncomfortable. That’ll be $2700. Oh we need to vacuum up a bunch of dust, but in a super special location? The government funded federal cleaning crew will have that vacuumed up with 2 wipe downs for only $50k.
Hazard pay for all involved too. Emotional distress and all. You never know what these tree hugging terrorists will do. I keep Tom Clancy Rainbow Six on my nightstand.
There’s always someone to find excuses for state oppression.
Nobody will change. I appreciate the spirit of these protesters, but people have been warning about this stuff since the 80s. Humans have the built in ability to think they will survive and prosper, while everyone else falls away. We saw this on full display when wearing a mask to protect, even superficial or not, your fellow human being became a contentious issue.
It’s just all so disheartening. I could just doom dump a bunch right now.
We’ve been getting change; when the Democrats had a razor-thin majority in both houses of congress last session, we got meaningful climate legislation
A bunch of regulation has been layered on top of it to try and get additional emissions cuts.
It’s not enough yet, but the operative word is yet. Put a bunch more Democrats into positions of power, and the US may actually do its part.
Liberals were in power between 2009 and 2017. The fact that the line didn’t budge is the proof that you guys really don’t give a shit outside of election time.
I wish we could ban political astroturfing ugh
No, the Republicans controlled Congress for most of that time, or it was divided:
Isn’t the congress elected? Sounds like Americans don’t give a shit about climate change then. That or your democracy is broken.
You do know how the American government works, right?
That instance you’re looking for is called Twitter — you’d probably fit right in.
Great, so the US is going to marginally cut their greenhouse gas emissions. Unfortunately, this is a global problem, and globally, we achieved record emissions this year.
Nooo but this time the capitalists liberals will save us! Just vote for them and watch!
Seriously how can people be so naive lmao
The US isn’t the only country to cut emissions during that time; the EU has done something similar, putting itself on a path towards zero emissions.
China is also on the cusp of a switch from rising emissions to falling ones.
Get those big three economies on the right path, and the easy default choice for the rest of the world will be decarbonization too.
Since a few decades before that actually.
I still don’t get why no one has murdered the CEO or ExxonMobil
Possibly for the same reason(s) you haven’t
he was ordered by a judge to stay away from Washington and its museums and public monuments, prosecutors said.
Speaking of the Constitution, barring someone from an entire CITY seems to be rather outside of the spirit of the document itself.
