The Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday it’s banning the use of Red No. 3, a synthetic dye that gives food and drinks their bright red cherry color but has been linked to cancer in animals. The dye is still used in thousands of foods, including candy, cereals, cherries in fruit cocktails and strawberry-flavored milkshakes, according to the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a food safety advocacy group that petitioned the agency in 2022 to end its use. The FDA’s decision marks a victory for consumer advocacy groups and some U.S. lawmakers who have long urged the FDA to revoke the additive’s approval, citing ample evidence that its use in beverages, dietary supplements, cereals and candies may cause cancer as well as affect children’s behavior. more at https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/fda-bans-red-no-3-artificial-coloring-beverages-candy-rcna185479

that's the one i was referring to. some vehicles (like my truck) don't have a cabin air filter. in the event of ash falling from a fire or volcano, it would probably be best not to use the AC if one can avoid it as that requires extra power from the engine, and thus more air through the engine air filter....

Special counsel Jack Smith resigns from DOJ as Trump’s fight to block final report continues Special Counsel Jack Smith resigned from the Department of Justice on Friday after he completed his two criminal investigations of President-elect Donald Trump. The departure was disclosed in a court filing submitted Saturday to Trump-appointed U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon of Florida. “The Special Counsel completed his work and submitted his final confidential report on January 7, 2025, and separated from the Department on January 10,” the filing reads. more at https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/11/special-counsel-jack-smith-resigns-from-doj-as-trumps-fight-to-block-final-report-continues.html

keep in mind that the ash from the fires can clog up the air filter on a car - it would be a good idea to keep a spare in the car should you need to evacuate.

said link is fishy in that it lumps them together as immigrants and does not differentiate between legal and illegal in many of the charts..
