President Trump pushes Ukraine's president that about the Biden family's activities in Ukraine

by Suzette Lohmeyer First Up Mary Altaffer/AP Here's what we're following today. President Trump told Ukraine's president that "a lot of people want to find out" about the Biden family's activities in Ukraine — and asked him to be in touch with Trump's attorney and the attorney general,  an account of the July call shows. The Department of Justice announced it will not pursue charges.  A new U.N. report says oceans are getting hotter and higher at an increasing speed, and marine heat waves are causing a cascade of changes in marine life. The report also notes that oceans are getting more acidic, which could lead to mass extinction of marine organisms. Juul Labs will stop advertising e-cigarettes in the U.S. and says that its CEO has stepped down as regulators examine hundreds of cases of people who are sick from what appears to be a vaping-related lung disease. One mom who testified before Congress on Tuesday compared the disease to a food poisoning outbreak, stating: "If this was romaine lettuce, the shelves would be empty." The secretary of veterans affairs has told several members of Congress that he's evicting them from offices they've been using in VA hospitals (often used to meet with vets). One congressman believes the eviction is payback for his tough questioning of VA Secretary Robert Wilkie in April. Climate activists protesting the use of oil and natural gas are the first to be charged under a new critical infrastructure law in Texas. Supporters say the laws protect ports, pipelines and other sensitive places. And in California, the Trump administration is threatening to cut federal highway dollars over air pollution.

The first whistleblowers reported on the actions of one Esek Hopkins in the late 1780s. "He was the first commodore of the U.S. Navy and they blew the whistle on him ostensibly for torturing British prisoners of war," says author and professor Allison Stanger. "So we're a leader in this realm and whistleblowing is really in our DNA . So that's why this particular moment is so interesting."
