The e-bike boom is not going away. We must ensure the rules governing e-bikes reflect that they are fast, powerful vehicles that deserve the same serious attention we give to any other motorized form of transportation. bit.ly/4f72A4l

The most underreported e-bike story isn't the crashes. It's the battery fires caused by exploding lithium-ion batteries. They happen in apartments, storage rooms, and garages, where bikes charge overnight. bit.ly/4vYSZmn

One of the most important factors to understand about e-bikes is that they are not just faster bicycles. A Class 3 e-bike can reach almost 30 miles per hour! Yet e-bikes are still classified by the federal government as nonmotorized vehicles. bit.ly/4f3rbqK

The rate of e-bike injuries surged by almost 300% between 2019 and 2022. bit.ly/3OlRuxD

Electric bikes have transformed how millions of Americans get around. They are convenient, affordable, eco-friendly, and fun to ride. But as ridership has surged, so has something far less welcome: a rapid and alarming rise in injuries. bit.ly/48O9Luy

Studies have linked long-term exposure to glyphosate, the key ingredient in weedkillers, to cancer. At the same time, some lawmakers want to limit lawsuits against manufacturers, arguing that EPA-approved labels should be enough protection. bit.ly/42R7Qlj

If you suspect neglect in a care facility, speak up! 🔹 Contact Adult Protective Services in your state 🔹 Use the Eldercare Locator (eldercare.acl.gov) 🔹 Or call the Institute on Aging’s confidential Friendship Line bit.ly/4nnsdhP

Those “routine” nursing home admission papers? They may include a hidden clause that blocks your right to sue, even after neglect or abuse! Read everything carefully and ask questions. bit.ly/3JsV4DE

Each year, up to 5 million older Americans experience abuse or neglect, including millions living in long-term care. Forced arbitration keeps those stories out of court and out of sight. bit.ly/47g07Ah

When a loved one enters a nursing home, you expect care — not fine print that strips your right to justice. Forced arbitration buries abuse claims in secrecy and shields corporations from accountability. It’s time to end this loophole for neglect. bit.ly/47AnAv3

Would you trust an AI chatbot with your mental health? Some people already do—and the outcomes aren’t always hopeful. From loneliness to lawsuits, the risks are mounting. bit.ly/47dKFVw
