Vermonters Disapprove of Trump\u27s Foreign Policy, Believe World Views U.S. Poorly 1/23/2026
No full textVermont residents strongly oppose the decision to capture Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro and less than one-tenth support sending ground troops to occupy the country. Vermonters also oppose occupying Greenland or launching military attacks in Mexico or Colombia. Overall, three-quarters of Vermonters oppose President Trump\u27s handling of foreign policy and rate the reputation of the U.S. among the rest of the world as poor or very poor
Impact of CrIS-Derived NH3 Emission Updates on Simulated Nitrate and Ammonium Aerosols over East Asia
No full textFine particulate matter (PM1 diameter \u3c 1 μm) strongly affects air quality and health, with sulfate, nitrate, and ammonium (SNA) as major components across East Asia. Because NH3 is a key precursor of SNA formation, accurate NH3 emission data are essential for reliable SNA simulations. This study improves NH3 emission inventories in East Asia by integrating the Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled with Chemistry (WRF-Chem) and the Cross-Track Infrared Sounder (CrIS), with extensive evaluation against ground-based and aircraft observations from the Korea-United States Air Quality (KORUS-AQ) campaign. Iterative linear inversion of NH3 emissions using WRF-Chem markedly enhances simulations of nitrate and ammonium, in agreement with both the aircraft and surface measurements. The absolute biases of nitrate and ammonium were reduced from 89.7 and 50.1% to 13.6 and 0.6%, respectively, compared to the aircraft observations over Seoul. However, uncertainties in nocturnal NH3 emissions remain potential sources of nighttime biases in nitrate and ammonium. Overall, the results indicate that nitrate aerosol in most of East Asia is sensitive to NH3 emission changes. To advance our understanding of SNA formation and support effective aerosol mitigation policies, improved characterization of the diurnal cycle of NH3 emissions through ground-based monitoring and high-resolution geostationary satellite observations is urgently needed
Covering the Care: Why Financial Resources Matter for Health
No full textWhere people end up in the income and wealth distribution has a powerful and lasting influence on how healthy they are and how long they live. This is not just a story about poverty versus comfort. Across the entire population, health improves step by step as financial resources increase. Researchers call this pattern the health gradient.
This brief explains why that gradient exists. Drawing on decades of research from economics, public health, and social epidemiology, it shows how limited financial resources shape health through multiple pathways that unfold over different time horizons—from immediate consequences to cumulative effects that build over a lifetime
Half of Granite Staters Oppose Removal of Maduro, Trump Foreign Policy Approval Unchanged 1/23/2026
No full textApproval of President Trump’s handling of foreign policy in New Hampshire remained largely unchanged in the wake of the capture of Venezuela’s President Maduro and pressure to acquire Greenland from Denmark, but is sharply divided by partisanship. Half of New Hampshire residents oppose the capture of Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro and few support sending ground troops to occupy the country. Very few support launching a military attack on Mexico or Colombia. Four in five Granite Staters believe the United States should play a leading or major role in world affairs and should protect citizens of foreign countries facing violence but a majority rate the reputation of the U.S. among the rest of the world as poor or very poor
