I lobbied on the Senate side of The Hill last week against any resumption of explosive nuclear testing in Nevada and yesterday President T. made a vague posting on his social media channel that “Because of other countries testing programs, I have instructed the Department of War to start testing our Nuclear Weapons on an equal basis.” A sentence full of inaccuracies and lack of detail that is upsetting many politicians and organizations as you can read in the articles listed below. They repeat the points Dianne and I made to the Senate offices we visited last week.

If you have time only to read one article then
the first one is a good summary of various organization's
responses to President T's vague announcement of
resuming "nuclear testing":
An informative press release from Senator
Angus King's office (independent of Maine)
Press release from Arms Control
Association:
Bill introduced by Senator Markey:
“This is a reckless directive from Trump
that will only make the country and the world less safe and
lead to a terrible new nuclear arms race,” Markey said.
This 2024 article gives more history on
the existing moratorium on explosive nuclear weapons
testing by the US:
