As a Minnesota sports fan, I am prepared for these outcomes today... - Vikings win by 28 - Vikings lead by 20 but lose by 14 - Vikings lose by missing a 19 yard FG - Vikings make a 67 yard FG to win it - Vikings lose by 35 #SKOL

Not gonna share the Kanye clip, but choosing to come to come out and say George Floyd died of fentanyl — when that was clearly a racist talking point, debunked in court, like we all didn’t see the video for ourselves and like it didn’t start worldwide protests — is nasty work.

WEF is deeply concerned about the circumstances in Jackson MS, where residents are without safe running water. This is an unacceptable situation and reflects a historic lack of investment in infrastructure and communities of color. Read the full statement: wef.org/water-crisis-in-jack…

One more note about @EPA's #PFAS announcement. @EPAwater is at @CFPUA's Sweeney Water Treatment Plant, which is about to start up its $46M GAC project to remove #PFAS. Even with their proper investment to protect customers, they're not likely to meet the new LHAs for PFOA & PFOS.

Risk communication: empathy, transparent and ultimately a trusted source. ⬇️ With science, there is no “zero” so you balance that with a story of how your produce drinking water and work tirelessly to protect public health.
There’s a national focus on drinking water quality. We’re good with that. Read about the EPA’s new guidance for a chemical compound, PFAS and how we’re tackling it. bit.ly/3b1aRYS

It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.

As the water sector adapts to the “silver tsunami” of retirees exiting the industry, now is the time to center #JEDI principles in our hiring practices as we onboard the next generation of water workers. Thanks to @TheValueofWater for this great toolkit! thevalueofwater.org/workforc…

What does the group that gave the U.S. a C- grade on infrastructure think the impact of the new federal funding will be? An official at the American Society of Civil Engineers says she “hopes” the country’s grade will rise to a B, seven years from now. cbsn.ws/3tToWx5
