In places throughout the U.S. where plastic bags require a fee or have been banned, fewer bags end up at the water’s edge, according to research published Thursday in Science.
Banning Plastic Bags Works to Limit Shoreline Litter, Study Finds
Using crowdsourced data from shore cleanups, researchers found that areas that enacted plastic bag bans or fees had fewer bags littering their lakes, rivers and beaches than those without them.

It’s not hyperbole to say that the deaths in Minnesota are on the GOP’s hands. They’ve built this political environment and they’ve allowed a demagogue to spread hate. This is entirely on them.

Efforts to drive down the smoking rate have worked: We're at a 75-year low for smoking and a 25-year low for vaping. Now the CDC office credited with some of that work is gone.

I met with teens in West Virginia who were sad to see their anti-vaping group cut:

The reason I have been unwaveringly NeverTrump from the beginning is it’s always been obvious to me that Trump is a bad person whose personal values are fundamentally at odds with the values of American liberal democracy. Not a flawed person, as we all are. But a bad person.
