Welp, I guess the bare-bones letter from Rubio was determined to be “facially reasonable and bona fide.”
Note that this was largely expected; the standard is exceptionally deferential. This decision will be appealable up to the Board of Immigration Appeals, and then again to the circuit courts.

CDC denies help for lead poisoning in Milwaukee schools due to layoffs
The CDC rejected a request for help "due to the complete loss" of their lead poisoning experts.
3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie).
Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.
This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

With Syria in Flux, Turkish Forces Attack U.S.-Backed Forces
Rebels supported by Turkish air power fired on a Kurdish-controlled city in northern Syria, pitting proxies of the U.S. and Turkey — NATO allies — against each other.
While I understand the optimism associated with Assad’s fall, don’t miss the fact that Syrian Kurds, central to the defeat of ISIS and consistent US allies, are being attacked and driven from their homes by Turkey in the interregnum. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/08/w...
