Forever chemicals no more? PFAS are destroyed with new technique: PFAS chemicals are associated with low birth weight, thyroid disease and an increased risk of certain cancers. The new method appears to be safer and more energy-efficient. The Northwestern scientists added PFAS molecules to a solution of lye and dimethyl sulfoxide and exposed them to temperatures of up to 248 degrees Fahrenheit. The chemicals degraded into fluoride ions and other harmless byproducts.

Economic analyses of the proposal suggest that the answer is likely no, not anytime soon, anyway.

Idaho Supreme Court to allow near-total abortion ban to take effect Aug. 25: Two justices agreed to speed up the timeline for various legal challenges to be heard, but wanted it noted that they felt the laws should not be enforced until the legal process was over. The state Supreme Court’s ruling means potential relatives of an embryo or fetus can now sue abortion providers over procedures done after six weeks of gestation and another stricter ban criminalizing all abortions can take effect later this month. Potential relatives can sue for up to $20,000 within four years of an abortion.

Trumps week just went from really bad to “Sir, I gotta ask, did you take any nuclear codes?” For his part, the president has released several statements suggesting that yeah, he was definitely keeping documents about nuclear weapons at Mar-a-Lago. A person familiar with the matter said the 15 boxes of documents that had been removed from Mar-a-Lago in January included such intelligence. So you can probably understand why the government was freaked out by the prospect of Trump potentially keeping some of the country’s biggest national security secrets in his basement.

The animals do not roam, and the cows are sometimes found dead. The people in this northern Myanmar forest have lost a way of life that goes back generations. But if they complain, they, too, face the threat of death.

Ukraine, Vladimir Putin, and the Global Culture War: There are two major reasons that war has come to eastern Europe, and they have very little to do with Ukraine or the horrible sufferings of the Ukrainian population. The war in Ukraine is not really about Ukraine—it is not about Ukraine’s sacrosanct borders which have been supposedly violated by Russia.

Judge blocks Georgia DA from developing case against Republican state senator in Trump investigation: Jones is one of 16 fake Trump electors who signed on to the “unofficial electorate certificate” in a plan to subvert the Electoral College in the 2020 election. In his ruling, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney said Willis’ office may “ask witnesses about the Senator’s role in the various efforts the State Republican party undertook to call into question the legitimacy of the results of the election. What her office may not do is make sure of any such evidence to develop a case against the Senator.”

Republicans to People With Diabetes, Drop Dead: The GOP voted against a modest price cap on insulin, putting the lives of tens of millions of people in peril. You’d think the GOP would be looking for ways to puff up its supposed “economic populist” credentials, rather than voting against a modest price control that would help keep tens of millions of Americans from, you know, dying. The cost of insulin in America is about $100 per unit. 80 percent of Americans have racked up thousands of dollars of credit card debt to pay for this medication.

Rainwater everywhere on Earth unsafe to drink due to ‘forever chemicals’, study finds: Scientists are calling for tighter restrictions on PFAS which persist in the environment for years. Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large family of human-made chemicals that don’t occur in nature. They are known as ‘forever chemicals’ because they don’t break down in the environment. They have non-stick or stain repellent properties so can be found in household items like food packaging, electronics, cosmetics and cookware.
