Catholic Bishops ending refugee work with federal government

A Catholic group that helps refugees and has for decades says it can't anymore.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) says they will not renew 50-year-old agreements with the federal government to provide children's services and refugee support.

This comes after the Trump administration killed all funding to the USCCB, which is one the largest refugee resettlement agencies in the world.

They say the “heartbreaking” decision follows the Trump administration’s abrupt halt to funding for refugee resettlement.

Trump’s EPA Reconsidering Safety of Adding Fluoride to Drinking Water

President Donald Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), led by Administrator Lee Zeldin, is reconsidering the safety of adding fluoride to drinking water.

The agency announced this decision in a press release on Monday, explaining that it will “expeditiously review new scientific information on potential health risks of fluoride in drinking water.”

“This renewed scientific evaluation is an essential step that will inform agency decisions on the standard for fluoride under the Safe Drinking Water Act,” the press release reads, falling in line with the Make America Health Again (MAHA) agenda.

Zeldin said the evaluation will provide clear steps for the agency regarding statutory obligations under the Safe Drinking Water Act. The press release also cited a National Toxicology Program report from August 2024, which concluded that they had “‘moderate confidence’ that fluoride exposure above 1.5 milligrams per liter is associated with lower IQ in children.” The report advised more research on the matter to see “if there are health risks associated with exposure to lower fluoride concentrations. ”

“Without prejudging any outcomes, when this evaluation is completed, we will have an updated foundational scientific evaluation that will inform the agency’s future steps to meet statutory obligations under the Safe Drinking Water Act,” Zeldin said.

“Secretary Kennedy has long been at the forefront of this issue,” he continued.

“His advocacy was instrumental in our decision to review fluoride exposure risks and we are committed to working alongside him, utilizing sound science as we advance our mission of protecting human health and the environment,” he added.

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. also said he plans to tell the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to stop recommending fluoride in communities’ water supply.

Zeldin is just doing a formal report on Flouride so that there is official justification for RFK jr. to end it nationally. Minor delay.

Some ordinary medications do damage. I didn't know that the hydro cordisone that I used for minor itches and bug bites were contributing to growth of cataracts in my eyes. I stopped all over the counter pills. I don't believe I am being told all the side effects. Maybe no one knows the side effects. Best to use less meds.
