Our fellow Americans in Puerto Rico can use our support after this week’s earthquakes. They’ve shown their enduring spirit over the past couple years, and it’s up to us to pull together for one another once again. I hope you’ll support their recovery: nbcnewyork.com/news/national…

1. In the wake of recent earthquakes, Puerto Ricans are wary for the future because of the previous government failure in providing aid & disaster relief following Hurricane Maria in 2017. A deadly failure which the island is still reckoning with today.

2. The island has been trembling for over a week which has caused 400,000 people to lose power, 300,000 without water, upwards of $3.1 bil in damage, & over 750 people evacuated while others slept outside of their homes for fear of building collapse.

Ever wondered why it is so easy for cosmetics companies to sell products containing toxic chemicals? Part of that answer lies in the fact that safety regulations haven't been updated since the FDA received regulation authority in 1938. Learn more here: pbs.org/newshour/health/why-…
