GHF’s reckless aid distribution tactics have led to mass panic and mass casualties. Netanyahu’s blockade and GHF’s dangerously mismanaged aid sites are directly contributing to the ongoing starvation crisis. The United States must ensure that humanitarian aid is delivered swiftly.

Major news out of the EPA today that will, without hyperbole, cause Americans to die. The 2009 Endangerment Finding allows EPA to regulate air pollution and greenhouse gases. The Trump Administration is gutting this in the name of increased profits for polluters. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/29/c...

This week marks the 30th anniversary of the 1995 Chicago Heat Wave. 739 lives were tragically lost. Climate change-fueled extreme weather events are far too frequent. We owe it to our grandchildren to change course and ensure that we have a habitable planet to pass on to them.
