\nQuote – Today, in Texas, U.S. District Judge Reed O\u2019Connor undercut a key part of the Affordable Care Act, more popularly known as Obamacare…. O\u2019Connor is famous for his decisions against the federal government. In a 2018 decision, he tried to get rid of the ACA altogether, but the Supreme Court upheld the law by a vote of 7\u20132. Today, in Braidwood Management v. Becerra, he decided that the members of one of the three panels deciding preventive treatments have been appointed unconstitutionally and upheld the argument that the PrEP requirement violated the plaintiffs\u2019 religious rights. He reserved his ruling on how to fix these issues.

\nQuote – Concrete is strong, durable, affordable and available to almost every community on the planet. However, the global concrete industry has a dirty little secret \u2013 it alone is responsible for more than 8% of global carbon dioxide emissions \u2013 more than three times the emissions associated with aviation. Those emissions doubled in the past two decades as Asian cities grew, and demand is continuing to expand at an unprecedented rate…. The primary culprit behind concrete\u2019s climate impact is the production of portland cement \u2013 the powder used to make concrete.
