EPA moves to designate microplastics and pharmaceuticals as contaminants in drinking water
Still, some who are urging the government to do more to stop plastic pollution say the announcement is a good start.“Including it in the list would be the first step toward eventually regulating microplastics in public water supplies and hopefully this is not the last step,” said Judith Enck, a former EPA regional administrator who now heads up Beyond Plastics.Dr. Philip Landrigan, director of the Global Observatory on Planetary Health at Boston College, said that while the EPA is moving in the

“I’d say most drivers are not happy with the money that they’re making, unless they’re working more hours than I’m willing to do,” Goldberg said. “You have to put in the hours, and that is what a lot of people don’t anticipate.”LisaKay “LK” Foyle, 64, of Orange, Texas, found a way to maximize her earnings on Poplin, an app which connects her with clients who need help with laundry. She has seniority among workers on the app so chooses to accept express orders, which pay the highest rate, and dec

‘I had to veto those programs’: Gov. Ferguson cuts retail crime funding as lawmaker says WA theft crisis grows
Two Fred Meyer locations in Everett and Kent have shut down in part due to theft-related losses, and many retailers have added guards and anti-theft measures at store entrances.Commonly stolen items include everyday goods such as laundry detergent, baby formula, clothing, and alcohol, which are often resold through informal street markets.Leavitt and other supporters of the funding said eliminating the program could put small businesses at greater risk and slow efforts to address organized retai
Costco customers sue for share of tariff refunds in class-action lawsuit
Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) told the Court of International Trade that it is developing a new system to record imports to calculate and provide refunds.After the new system is completed, importers and brokers will be able to submit refund claims through an online portal.CBP anticipates the refunds will be more than $130 billion, according to Bloomberg Law.The attorneys suing Costco have claimed that the retailer “stands to recover the same tariff payments twice,” and has yet to m
Drug agents will escalate efforts during World Cup this summer
“Two milligrams basically fit on the tip of a pencil.”Often, users might purchase one drug without realizing fentanyl is laced in it.“They go to this anonymous person thinking that they’re getting an Adderall pill,” Saccone said. “In fact, they’re getting a pill that’s laced with fentanyl.”Much of the fentanyl in our region is produced by cartels in Mexico, Saccone said, using chemicals that come from China. The DEA notes that fentanyl purity declined in 2024, signifying that it’s becoming more
Mississippi lawmakers send bill that criminalizes abortion-inducing medication to governor
Daniel Sparks, a Republican from Belmont and one of six lawmakers who hashed out the final details of the legislation, told Mississippi Today he supported the amendment as a way to enforce Mississippi’s abortion ban.“The state of Mississippi has been pretty clear of where they are about their pro-life position,” Sparks said. “If people are circumventing that through the mail or through other mechanisms, then I think we’re trying to be consistent with what the law is.”Sen. Bradford Blackmon, a De
Trump’s White House ballroom is expected to get approved days after judge’s ruling halting work
The president appoints three of the members, and Trump named two other White House officials along with Scharf.Trump went ahead with the project before seeking input from the National Capital Planning Commission and the Commission of Fine Arts, which he reconstituted with allies and supporters.The National Trust for Historic Preservation, a private nonprofit organization, sued after Trump demolished the East Wing last fall to build the ballroom addition — a space nearly twice as big as the mansi
Universities pressured to strip names of Epstein associates from campus buildings
At issue — for union nurses at OSU’s Wexner Medical Center, for former athletes at the Les Wexner Football Complex, and for some student leaders who may walk past the Wexner Center for the Arts near the campus oval — is Wexner’s well-documented association with the late sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein.Similar cries are arising over a Wexner-named building at Harvard University and others around the country named for different Epstein associates, including Steve Tisch, Casey Wasserman
Dizzying US fuel prices are determined by factors largely outside of a gas station’s control
About a mile (1.6 kilometers) off Interstate 35, the neighborhood convenience store posted $3.399 a gallon for regular gas on Wednesday, which is about 18 cents lower than the metro average, according to AAA.“We price based on what we’re able to buy fuel at, and how well we can operate,” McQuirter said. He declined to speculate about his competitors, saying, “They’ve got different economics.”Wholesale fuel prices, which shift multiple times a day, are the main reason McQuirter said he’s ch
Trump uses Iran war address to urge an increasingly skeptical electorate to give him a bit more time
Chris Murphy, D-Conn., said Trump’s speech was “grounded in a reality that only exists in Donald Trump’s mind.”The president, Democrats fumed, offered no plan for how he would go about reopening Hormuz, the critical waterway for oil tankers that a battered Iran has effectively choked off even though Trump claims it’s been defeated.For allies worried about a global economy that’s been rattled by rising oil prices, Trump suggested they “buy oil from the United States of America”
