abstract
Measurement of the distances to nearby galaxies have improved rapidly in recent decades. The ever-present challenge is to reduce systematic effects, especially as greater distances are probed, and the uncertainties become larger. In this paper, we combine several recent calibrations of the Tip of the Red Giant Branch (TRGB) method. These calibrations are internally self-consistent at the 1% level. New Gaia Early Data Release 3 (EDR3) data provide an additional consistency check, at a (lower) 5% level of accuracy, a result of the well-documented Gaia angular covariance bias. The updated TRGB calibration applied to a distant sample of Type Ia supernovae from the Carnegie Supernova Project results in a value of the Hubble constant of Ho = 69.8 $\pm$ 0.6 (stat) $\pm$ 1.6 (sys) km/s/Mpc. No statistically significant difference is found between the value of Ho based on the TRGB and that determined from measurements of the cosmic microwave background. The TRGB results are also consistent to within 2$\sigma$ with the SHoES and Spitzer plus HST Key Project Cepheid calibrations. The TRGB results alone do not demand additional new physics beyond the standard Lambda-CDM cosmological model. They have the advantage of simplicity of the underlying physics (the core He flash) and small systematic uncertainties (from extinction, metallicity and crowding). Finally, the strengths and weaknesses of both the TRGB and Cepheids are reviewed, and prospects for addressing the current discrepancy with future Gaia, HST and JWST observations are discussed. Resolving this discrepancy is essential for ascertaining if the claimed tension in Ho between the locally-measured and the CMB-inferred value is physically motivated.

Gamma-ray attenuation in 241 blazar spectra constrains the combined opacity/Hubble ratio r=1.723^{+0.096}_{-0.095}, giving H0=58.3^{+3.4}_{-3.0} km/s/Mpc (fixed EBL) or 60.5^{+10.8}_{-10.0} with an 18% EBL-scale uncertainty.

Hubble tension: the shape wall
Late-time modifications to the expansion history can raise H0 by at most about 2% (conservative) to 3.7% (permissive) if the CMB acoustic scale is fixed.

Hubble constant measurement with 13 bright standard sirens from binary black hole mergers inside active galactic nuclei
Thirteen BBH–AGN bright standard sirens give H0 = 70.50^{+3.37}_{-2.89} (stat) ± 1.56 (cal) km s^{-1} Mpc^{-1} (4.4%), consistent with both Planck and SH0ES with no significant preference.

Statistical consistency of sign-switching vacuum energy with cosmological observations
Using exact non-Gaussian shift and posterior predictive tests, ΛsCDM improves CMB–BAO consistency and softens but does not resolve the Hubble tension, which persists at p≈4×10⁻⁴.

Late Time Dynamical Dark Energy and the CMB-Distance Ladder Tension
The SNIa absolute-magnitude tension between the distance ladder (−19.204) and CMB+ΛCDM (−19.430) is independent of late-time expansion history, and DESI's w0–wa dark-energy hints shift H0 by only ~0.3–0.4 km/s/Mpc.

Hubble tension: a short review of theoretical explanations
A comprehensive review finds no theoretical Hubble-tension solution yet passes all consistency tests; new early-dark-energy chains reach high H0 only when the SH0ES calibration is added.

Crosschecking Cosmic Distances from DESI BAO and DES SNe

The Hubble tension: A decade review
Pure early or late fixes to the Hubble tension are tightly constrained; remaining options are combined early-late interacting dark energy or new physics at the local-to-homogeneous transition.
