Retired Firefighter Richard Driscoll, who died in New York Wednesday, became the 200th city firefighter to die from inhaling the toxins swirling around the Twin Towers nearly 18 years ago, the FDNY said. Driscoll was cited for bravery five times during his FDNY career, officials said.

His death occurred a day after retired FDNY Firefighter Kevin Nolan died of a 9/11-related illness on Tuesday.
On Wednesday, 9/11 survivor advocates were in Washington, D.C., fighting Sen. Rand Paul’s (R-Ky.) plan to block an extension of the federal Victims Compensation Fund, which provides financial support to first responders and residents sickened by the toxic dust kicked up in lower Manhattan following the terror attacks.

It’s hard to stay rational when faced with such endless GOP hate.

1. Is there a legal liability for the government claiming debris was tested and deemed safe?

Clean up workers were not even using safety gear, at the advise and under supervision of government.
