Go after the lawyers. Broadly. We are here because of them.

The worst part about this outbreak is that, bc every news agency is owned by corporate billionaires, not a SINGLE ONE has the courage to link this outbreak to Trump and his dismantling of our food safety protections. So the general public just assumes this is business as usual.

My kids have measles, I lost my job, and a parasite that the CDC no longer monitors has given me explosive diarrhea. But at least now there’s no plaques honoring Black scientists at the Smithsonian.

“When the last tree is cut, the last fish is caught, and the last river is polluted; when to breathe the air is sickening, you will realize, too late, that wealth is not in bank accounts and that you can’t eat money.”

Meet Peanut, the turtle whose shell was permanently shaped by a plastic six-pack ring

A discarded plastic six-pack ring permanently shaped Peanut's shell after she became trapped as a hatchling in 1984. Now 41, she helps raise awareness about plastic pollution

Not sure why the FBI would be involved with a heart attack.

A USDA food insecurity survey that ran since 1995 got canceled, with the administration calling three decades of data collection fear mongering. That number mattered to every county food bank in the country planning how much to stock. You don't fix a problem by refusing to measure it.

[Mike Young @micyoung75]

Notice what this administration didn't do. It didn't argue the food insecurity numbers were wrong. It didn't publish a competing methodology. It just canceled the survey and, in its own words, called three decades of USDA data collection "fear mongering."

That's the tell running through every example in this piece. Not correction. Deletion. A pregnancy risk tracker the CDC used to fight infant mortality, made inaccessible through staffing cuts rather than any stated policy change. The CIA World Factbook, gone. Weather balloon launches quietly reduced in the western United States until meteorologists themselves started saying their confidence in the models had eroded.

Jerome Powell called it "driving in the fog" last year, when a government shutdown delayed jobs data the Fed needed to set interest rates for the entire country. That fog isn't an accident of budget cuts anymore. It's becoming the operating condition. When the public can't see the data, the public can't check the claims, and an administration that doesn't want its claims checked has just found the cheapest way to arrange that.

The secret origins of the Supreme Court’s shadow docket

...the Roberts court increasingly relies on a fast-track way of issuing rulings that are often unsigned, unexplained, and unlike the way the court has operated in the past.

I think women should decide what to do with Mitch McConnell's body since he decided what to do with theirs.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

SHOCK NYT REPORT: DHS now admits the man ICE killed in Houston wasn't even their target. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 35-year U.S. resident, was just driving to work when agents — with no body cameras — shot him dead searching for two other men who weren't even in the van.
