There was another shooting in El Paso, Texas, last night, where two suspected gunmen opened fire in a mall, killing 1 and injuring 3 others. This happened right next to a Walmart where an earlier shooting in 2019 killed 23 and injured over 25 others, just four years later. There have now been over 72 mass shootings this year, which is still greater than the number of days! No wonder Americans don't like being in a big public space anymore...
On another note, the Treasury Department is in trouble. They are trying their hardest to stop the US from not being able to pay their bills, but if Congress doesn't address the issue soon, the US won't be able to pay their bills from July to September! They need to find a way to fix the issue, ASAP, or the Treasury will be in even bigger distress.
Lastly, residents of East Palestine, Ohio, are also in some big trouble. About two weeks ago, a freight train carrying vinyl chloride, butyl acrylate, ethylhexyl acrylate, and ethylene glycol monobutyl ether (which are all industrial chemicals and possible carcinogens) derailed, sparking a massive poisonous blaze that is still burning. They evacuated the town, but those orders have now been lifted. Unfortunately, many residents have not returned, due to the environmental crisis. If one area is affected, the whole ecosystem is as well, and this a huge problem for the area. Thousands of poisoned fish have been found dead in surrounding rivers and lakes, and residents are scared that the water, air, or soil may be tainted with these hazardous chemicals.
