BREAKING: The Trump EPA is abandoning a rule that would strengthen limits on air pollution. The EPA will no longer defend Biden-era limits on fine-particle pollution, which causes heart and lung disease. Scientists say this move could lead to dirtier air and more deaths.

"As of now, our union, Starbucks Workers United, has the facility under a full blockade." Starbucks worker Silvia lays out the ULP strike escalation at Starbucks' largest regional distribution center #NoContractNoCoffee
Starbucks Workers United@SBWorkersUnited19 Nov 2025
This distribution center is Starbucks’ largest on the East Coast, which is why we’re showing up to send a message. Starbucks executives need to know: Wherever Starbucks is, we’ll be there too until we win a fair contract and an end to union busting.
