Shifting supply chains, infant formula under scrutiny, lunar mission: Catch up on the day's stories
👋 Welcome to 5 Things PM! The US Food and Drug Administration is conducting the first comprehensive update and review of infant formula since 1998. 'We're going to make American infant formula the gold standard for the world,' Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said.
Here's what else you might have missed during your busy day:
1️⃣ 'We need to change': With President Donald Trump enacting tariffs on nearly every US import, American companies are scrambling to move their supply chains out of countries like Mexico and China. This small island in the Caribbean could be the answer.
2️⃣ Builders of peace: Congregation Bonai Shalom in Boulder, Colorado, welcomes both Jews and non-Jews to participate in all aspects of the community. An antisemitic attack that injured several members — including a Holocaust survivor — is testing their resilience.
3️⃣ Tracking measles: As cases rise to precipitously high levels in the US, there's a new tool to help measure the spread of the disease. Wastewater surveillance has the potential to identify possible cases days before an individual shows symptoms or seeks care.
4️⃣ Lunar lander: A Japanese company will try to touch down on the moon three months after an uncrewed American spacecraft did the same. Ispace executives said their slow and steady approach offers some long-term advantages.
5️⃣ Candid confession: Kylie Jenner detailed her breast augmentation on TikTok — down to the exact size. Her revelation chips away at a taboo. But is it a victory for transparency or a setback for beauty standards?

Southern California air regulators reject rules to phase out gas furnaces and water heaters
DIAMOND BAR, Calif. — Air quality regulators in Southern California voted 7 to 5 to reject rules that would have curbed harmful emissions from gas-powered furnaces and water heaters, but the majority voted to send the rules back to committee to be changed and reconsidered. The rules aimed to reduce emissions of smog-contributing nitrogen oxides, also called NOx, a group of pollutants linked to respiratory issues, asthma attacks, worse allergies, decreased lung function in children, premature death and more. Burning natural gas is also one of the primary drivers of climate change.

Mt. Everest And AHF Celebrated At Explorers Club, Warts And All
Norbu Tenzing Norgay, left, and Conrad Anker, at The Explorers Club, New York, NY, May 29, 2025. Due to the abrupt cuts USAID, many organizations are suffering, trying to shore up new cash to replace the lost funding. One such not-for-profit is the American Himalayan Foundation, a San Francisco-based organization founded in 1981 by the late Richard C. Blum, husband of former Senator Dianne Feinstein, to help the Sherpa people of Nepal. At a recent Explorers Club event in New York, I had the privilege of moderating a discussion with two well-known Mt. Everest veterans, Norbu Tenzing Norgay, the president of AHF and son of Sherpa Tenzing Norgay. Sherpa Tenzing, of course, was with Sir Edmund Hillary on May 29, 1953, as the two famously became first to summit the world's highest peak. The other participant was renowned mountaineer Conrad Anker, who in 1999 found climber George Mallory's body high on the north side of Everest. Anker was just back from Nepal where he had been filming a 60 Minutes segment. The 60 Minutes piece primarily centers on the overcrowding of Everest, climate change and the accumulating trash and dead bodies littering the peak. Following are edited excerpts from the sold-out EC event plus a separate phone interview with following the event. This is Part 1 of a multi-part series. Jim Clash: What's the biggest impact to AHF from the recent USAID budget cuts? Norbu Tenzing Norgay: A children's hospital we work with in Nepal had a pretty sizable USAID grant. It had bought some medical equipment which USAID was to reimburse it for, but that payment was canceled. So we were stuck with a pretty hefty bill that AHF had to pay. The others affected are 57,000 people from Himalayan communities in exile in India and Nepal which were heavily dependent on USAID. AHF has had to step in to fill some of the money gap. Clash: It's no secret that Everest is infested with climbers now, many of them amateurs who have ponied up six figures to attempt the peak during the March-May peak climbing season. What, if anything, can be done to address this mess? L-R: Celebrated mountaineer Conrad Anker, Forbes journalist Jim Clash and American Himalayan Foundation president Norbu Tenzing Norgay in a discussion about the current state of Mt. Everest, The Explorers Club, New York, NY, May 29, 2025. Norgay: The government of Nepal has full control over how many people climb and how much is charged. Until there is the kind of leadership and foresight that takes into account the benefits for the local people and the health of the mountain, nothing is going to change because the peak is a massive cash cow. I think Nepal currently charges $11,000 per permit, and it may go up to $15,000. So, as far as the government is concerned, it's all about cash. Unfortunately, the mountain has become transactional. Most officials have never stepped foot on the mountain. They don't understand the risks up there that our Sherpa people face, or the degradation of the mountain with the pollution, dead bodies, feces, abandoned oxygen bottles, tents, and the like. There's also the effects of climate change that the Sherpa had no part in creating, but are bearing the consequences of. The other thing, as you mentioned, is the more-than-100-people that line up to attempt the summit on a single day. This is a really big danger. If an unexpected storm hits high on the peak, like in the 1996 'Into Thin Air' disaster, many of them, and their guides and supporting Sherpa, will die. Look at 2014, when 16 local mountaineering workers and Sherpas died in an avalanche in the Khumbu Icefall. All of their children were left fatherless. One thing that allows for false confidence is the sophisticated apps available now that are quite accurate in predicting weather, down to the minute. But unexpected things happen - avalanches, falls, etc. May 31, 2021: Mountaineers line up during their ascent of Mount Everest in Nepal. (Photo by Lakpa SHERPA / AFP) (Photo by LAKPA SHERPA/AFP via Getty Images) Some climbers are so selfish, too. Recently a fellow was told that he didn't have what it took to reach the summit, but refused to leave the mountain. Consequently, he died but so did the Sherpa with him because he had to stick by his client out of loyalty. Also, if he did leave his client, he'd never get another job. Clash: What would your father say about conditions on Everest if he were still alive? Norgay: He and Ed Hillary started the whole thing [laughs]. But what they did was something nobody had done, like getting to the moon or something. Knowing my father, he always saw his expeditions as a good time to meet people, face challenges and succeed together. I don't think he ever would have imagined what the mountain would turn into today. I think he would see it as a great abomination, a sacred mountain having been degraded.
