There no words. Actually, there are hundreds of words on page A4 of today's @oregonian.com
Editors are what's missing.

To Acting Secretary Fink and Acting Director Monarez: We are writing on behalf of the 1,400 members of the Association of Health Care Journalists, to protest the removal of vital public health data from the CDC website, including survey results from the Youth Risk Behavioral Surveillance System, the CDC’s Social Vulnerability Index, and AtlasPlus, an interactive CDC tool with years of data on social determinants of health and diseases including HIV, TB, and STDs. These data are used by journalists every day to report stories about public health. At a time when the rise in chronic illnesses and harmful behaviors among young people is at the top of the national agenda, the YRBS data on smoking, vaping, drinking, eating, exercise, and sexual behavior are crucial for reporters trying to inform the public about these issues. The county-level Social Vulnerability Index data is important to inform reporting on communities’ resilience and ability to respond when faced with disasters such as wildfires and severe weather. Even the temporary removal of such data will impair our members’ ability to give the public essential and timely health information. We request the immediate restoration of sites that have been taken down in recent days, and that the agency not take down other pages with critical health data. Sincerely, Felice J. Freyer, president Gideon Gil, vice president Andrea Waner, interim executive director Association of Health Care Journalists

There is now a link on the T-Mobile Money website. That is what they should have done from the start. Sending customers an email link that then asks for account login is just wrong.

After getting an email claiming to be from TMobile asking me to click on an email and enter my banking information, I got a phone call claiming to be from TMobile asking me for my account information. Is it scammers or is TMobile asking customers to violate basic security????

Hey T-Mobile, did you really send an email to T-mobile money account holders asking them to click on an email link and then enter their banking information? That violates the most basic online security practices.

I gotta say #NY, compared to #London and other cities, your #NYE celebration was boring.

Last month, I fell down an absolutely bizarre rabbit hole trying to figure out who was ripping off articles from Oregon journalists.

What I found was identity theft, plagiarism and an absolutely terrifying future for local journalism led by AI scammers.
