Donald Trump's campaign has adopted the "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA) slogan, promising to remove toxic chemicals from the food supply. A verbal slip in a speech is noted where Trump appeared to say the U.S. "will spend" more on healthcare than any other nation, rather than "we've spent," causing a brief moment of confusion.

Governor J.B. Pritzker halted plans for a winterized migrant base camp in Chicago's Brighton Park neighborhood after environmental tests discovered toxic chemical contamination at the site. The decision has led to calls for the resignation of several top aides to Mayor Brandon Johnson, who were accused of negligence for attempting to house 2,000 migrants on a "cancerous brownfield." The city is now pivoting to using hotels and public buildings as temperatures drop to 14 degrees.
