GOP Donors Back Controversial Superintendent Candidate Michele Morrow

[WUNC] Republican donors are rallying behind Michele Morrow, the controversial Superintendent of Public Instruction candidate known for homeschooling her children and making provocative comments. Despite her divisive statements, GOP leaders have remained mostly silent. John Kane and Bob Luddy, prominent figures, are hosting a fundraiser for Morrow, emphasizing her focus on education fundamentals. Kane, a developer, and Luddy, a businessman, highlight Morrow's potential to reform public schools. The event's invitation suggests significant support for Morrow's candidacy, challenging traditional Republican stances.

Biden Admin Imposes Limits on 'Forever Chemicals' in Drinking Water

[EPA] The Biden administration has implemented strict limits on "forever chemicals" in drinking water, aiming to protect 100 million people from health issues, including cancer. The new rule, targeting PFAS substances, marks a significant step in water safety but faces opposition from utilities over costs. Despite challenges, EPA Administrator Michael Regan hails it as a vital measure to enhance public health. PFAS, ubiquitous in various products, pose significant health risks and require urgent regulation.
