PFAS exposure has been shown to decrease fertility; increase high blood pressure during pregnancy, increase the rate of prostate, kidney, and testicular cancers; increase cholesterol levels; disrupt hormones; reduce immune response; and cause developmental effects or delays in children. Fun times!
"The agency also announced plans to relax a rule requiring companies to report all products containing PFAS and has proposed weakening drinking water standards for the chemicals."
The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food. The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of PFAS — also known as "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

How Democracy Dies.
NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."
BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

Most people hear “heat pump” and think of small air-source units at home. But Germany is building one of the world’s largest heat pumps in Mannheim: a 162 MW river-source system using heat from the Rhine.
Big reminder that heat-pumps scale far beyond households — they can decarbonise whole cities.

Oddly enough, in media coverage of Dems' video warning against carrying out illegal orders, there's very little discussion of *whether it's actually reasonable to fear Trump is giving illegal commands or not.*
The evidence is strong that he is. Media should say so:

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now.
I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.
It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.
