It's screwworm fly time.

Since this can only be eradicated with the production of 400-500 million sterile flys per week, and even the most optimistic projections say that many cannot be produced for at least 20 months or more, cases will continue to pop up.

[New World Screwworm Rapid Response @Screwworm_RR]

USDA has confirmed a second detection of New World Screwworm in a one-month-old calf in Zavala County, Texas — approximately 5.6 miles from the first case.

With our partners in Texas, we are responding with speed and strength.

On Saturday, while covering a protest at Delaney Hall for the AP, Angelina Katsanis' camera bag went missing.

Inside was $10K worth of gear, her biz cards and an Airtag -- which soon began to ping from home of a NJ sergeant. He's now facing charges.

If you want to know how a reporter gets treated when trying to cover the WNBA this is a good account and also sheds light on how the NBA treats a lot of reporters too. There are great reporters in both leagues but the repression is silly and embarassing.

A proposed final judgement has hit the docket: https://t.co/fTTwf3qbgS

[Kevin Draper @kevinmdraper]

1 – The Department of Justice continues to bring affordability to the American people. Today, we announced a historic settlement with Agri Stats, whose business model directly raised the price of chicken, turkey, and pork in local grocery stores across our nation. 🐔🐖⚖️

NEW: One of the most dangerous drivers in New York City is an NYPD cop on Staten Island. He’s gotten 547 school-zone speeding and red-light tickets in the past four years.

The NYPD is refusing to intervene: https://t.co/Wsp3wSz6XC

Boy this doesn’t seem kind

Brutal yet impeccably fair.

We read @DylanByers piece on some recent goings-on at @wsj and decided it could benefit from the kind of fact-checking that we here at the Journal take very seriously. Fair and accurate, that's our style! Let's take a look: 🧵
