Journalist Kadallah Allison reports:

US President Writes;

The Supreme Court’s disappointing decision in Sackett v. EPA will take our country backwards. It puts our Nation’s wetlands – and the rivers, streams, lakes, and ponds connected to them – at risk of pollution and destruction, jeopardizing the sources of clean water that millions of American families, farmers, and businesses rely on.

Since the Clean Water Act was passed by an overwhelming bipartisan majority in Congress in 1972, it has been used by Republican and Democratic administrations alike to help ensure Americans in every state have clean water. It is the reason why today America’s lakes are swimmable, why we can fish in our streams and rivers, and why clean water comes out of our taps.

Today’s decision upends the legal framework that has protected America’s waters for decades. It also defies the science that confirms the critical role of wetlands in safeguarding our nation’s streams, rivers, and lakes from chemicals and pollutants that harm the health and wellbeing of children, families, and communities.

I am committed to protecting clean air and water for our kids for generations to come. My team will work with the Department of Justice and relevant agencies to carefully review this decision and use every legal authority we have to protect our Nation’s waters for the people and communities that depend on them. We will work with states, cities, and Tribal communities to pass and uphold critical protections for their residents. Through my Investing in America agenda, we’re already deploying historic resources in communities all across America to remove lead pipes, improve water quality, and rebuild the Nation’s drinking water infrastructure.

Our fight for clean water for all must go on, and it will.

Vice President Kamala Harris of the United States writes:

George Floyd should be alive today. Three years after his murder, our Administration remains committed to honoring his memory by fighting for a justice system that lives up to its name.

Congress can and must do everything in its power to protect public safety, advance accountable policing, and address racial injustice. That is the work ahead.

🎙️Bea Mountain Captain Kemoh Kamara | “God is above all. I believe in myself, and it’s a privilege to play for the national team so people who are there, for now, we support them because it’s their time, we respect the Coach’s decision to call people that he believes can fit in his system. As he said on social media, he calls people that fit his system, and all I can say is they are there already and we prayed for them. This is our nation, Liberia first Liberia last.

It’s surprising to the entire nation because I have worked hard throughout the season winning the Best Defender award. Based on that, I do expect a call-up, but again, it’s football. I have nothing against him because he’s the boss and we support him.”
