Think the environment and your health don’t intersect? Think again! Local climate change has a direct impact on personal health. Salt leeching into freshwater sources or increase in growth seasons invreasing the rodent population is not always newsworthy, but are important

“Aftershocks” chronicles a year and months of trauma endured by the public health community and aftershocks that have reverberated around the world affecting all our lives.
For an article published today in @pozmagazine’s new issue, I was asked why I wrote “Aftershocks: Trump 2.0, Public Health, and Our Better Angels” and what I propose as a forward-looking public health blueprint to rebuild back better. Read my answers: poz.com/article/better-angel…
Bashing millennials was so 2016, everyone is hurting, everyone is making choices that they are being forced to make, no one wanted “this” for an economy.

Cities are where climate action becomes health action. Protecting communities requires local data, community leadership, and equitable investment. That is why climate resilience must be part of urban health.
Climate risks are global, but they land in our territories. 🌍
Our CEMR Policy Advisor, Axelle Griffon, was invited today to speak at the European Parliament ENVI Committee workshop "Managing climate risks on the road to a climate resilient Europe".
She discussed the forthcoming Integrated Framework for Climate Resilience and Risk Management with Jaroslav Mysiak, Sibylle Steimen, Elina Bardram, and MEPs.
Our message on behalf of Europe's local and regional governments:
📍Put territories at the centre of the framework.
💶Move from short-term project funding to long-term resilience investment, with easier access for smaller municipalities.
🛠️Equip local governments with risk data, technical assistance and peer learning.
🌊Prioritise prevention, nature-based solutions and fair risk-sharing where risks exceed local capacity.
The cost of inaction is rising for citizens, businesses and public budgets. Local governments are the first line of response, and they need to be part of the solution from the start.

NBC News: Congressional Staff Planned Official Trip with Luxury Stops
“A Ferrari factory outside of Bologna, Italy. Luxury brand companies in ‘Milan or Florence.’ Day trips to the Champagne region of France.”
“These are just a few stops on a draft itinerary for an official trip a top aide for House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and other congressional staffers planned to take two weeks before the midterm elections, in which issues like affordability and the president’s tariffs on foreign imports are taking center stage.”

Woah. Serial liar Rob Bresnahan is running an ad that splices audio of a local news anchor to make it seem like he said something that he... didn't actually say.
Now the station and the anchor himself are calling out Bresnahan.
Will @Rob4PA apologize and take down the ad?
