'Overall crime in Washington, DC, is up by 25% since last year... But the district's top law enforcement official has more important things to worry about — namely, how to stop residents from purchasing and using gas stoves.' -KayleeDMcGhee
“Today, I'm leading 11 AGs calling for federal action to address the health & safety risks of gas stoves, which emit pollutants that have a disparate negative impact on children & underserved communities and put DC residents at risk of asthma and other respiratory illnesses," Attorney General Brian Schwalb tweeted this week.
"District residents are entitled to carry out everyday tasks like cooking without risk to their health and well-being," Schwalb added. Schwalb’s crusade against gas stoves is not just an example of bad priorities — it’s also bad science. The largest peer-reviewedof a link between gas stoves and childhood asthma found “no evidence of an association between the use of gas as a cooking fuel and either asthma symptoms or asthma diagnosis,” according to the National Institutes of Health.
There’s also the inconvenient fact that many consumers prefer gas stoves to electric stoves in spite of any supposed health risks. Close to 40% of homes in the United States use gas stoves, as do the majority of restaurants. Schwalb should stop trying to micromanage consumer decisions and instead turn his attention to the real problems plaguing the district's residents, such as the U.S. attorney's failure to prosecute nearly 70% of the people arrested by police in 2022.

Army sergeant who fatally shot BLM protester in Texas sentenced to 25 yearsA U.S. Army sergeant has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for fatally shooting an armed protester during a Black Lives Matter demonstration in Texas. Daniel Perry was sentenced Wednesday. Republican Gov. Greg Abbott has said he wants to pardon Perry, who argued he shot and killed Garrett Foster in self-defense. The 28-year-old Foster was legally carrying an AK-47 rifle during the July 2020 protest in Austin against police killings and racial injustice. Perry’s attorneys have said Foster pointed the rifle at him as he tried to pass protesters in his car. Witnesses testified at trial that they did not see Foster raise his weapon. Perry was found guilty of murder in April. The Texas Board of Pardon and Parole is already reviewing Perry’s conviction on Abbott’s orders.
