The Obama-appointed US judge Edward Chen found fluoridation could cause developmental damage and lower IQ in children at levels to which the public is generally exposed in drinking water. Though the ruling did not state the level at which fluoridation would damage brains, the levels in US water present an unreasonable risk, the court found.

The EPA now must perform a risk assessment that is among the first steps in setting new limits under the Toxic Substances Control Act.

Armed with a growing body of scientific evidence pointing toward fluoride’s neurotoxicity, public health advocates say the legal win shows they are overcoming “institutional inertia” and the unwillingness of federal public health agencies to admit they may have been wrong.

This is just misinformation. The president has the ability and arguably the obligation to halt arms transfers to Israel.

FADEL: Now, you've written that a case could be made that Biden is legally required to stop funding Israel's war. How?

BLANK: Well, there are at least three different laws that come into play here. One is the Humanitarian Aid Corridor Act. One is the Leahy Amendment on Foreign Assistance Act. And one is the conventional arms transfer policy, which is a different type of legislation. The clear text of all three of these pieces of legislation really would seem to prohibit or restrict the ability of the U.S. government to transfer aid. This, I should emphasize, is under existing U.S. law.

Bernie refused to call it a genocide as late as February. He showed his true colors a long time ago.

Rather than pledge to stop supporting genocide to win the votes of people who can't stomach the daily carnage, she is courting Trump's base on Fox News and touting endorsements from architects of the Iraq War.
