D.C. tourism was already struggling. Then the National Guard arrived.

How The New York Times is (still) getting gamed by the right And blowing its credibility in the process.

The NYT's commitment to false balance undermines its credibility. By prioritizing right-wing narratives in its reporting on figures like Zohran Mamdani and Claudine Gay, the NYTs pursuit of objective centrism does more harm than good, eroding trust in its journalism. www.theverge.com/culture/7000...

The FDA‘s new COVID-19 vaccine policy marks a major shift, without public discussion or CDC collaboration. As someone who value scientific and transparency. I’m concerned this move limits access despite strong evidence and safety and benefit. It is time to return to open, evidence based policymaking

It’s Friday of a long weekend.

Opinion | We’re international students at Harvard. We’re afraid to write this. But we have to speak up. Three student leaders on Trump’s attempts to throw them out of the country.

"We came here because we love this country, America’s founding values and its openness to people with different backgrounds. Now, we are caught in a battle between the White House and Harvard."

The latest from @harvard.edu international students Abdullah Shahid Sial, Leo Gerdén and Karl Molden:

Trump-Allied Prosecutor Sends Letters to Medical Journals Alleging Bias An interim U.S. attorney is demanding information about the selection of research articles and the role of N.I.H. Experts worry this will have a chilling effect on publications.

Idiots. All of them!

Judge orders White House to allow AP access to news events U.S. Judge Trevor N. McFadden rules the White House cannot deny the Associated Press access to news events because the wire service continues to use "Gulf of Mexico" rather than "Gulf of America".

A federal judge has ordered the Trump White House to let Associated Press journalists return to the Oval Office and other spaces to cover news events, ruling it was unlawful to block the news service in a dispute over its choice of words.

Kennedy Calls for States to Ban Fluoridated Drinking Water The health secretary’s announcement came on the first day of a tour through the Southwest to showcase nutrition legislation and other priorities.

Trump Goes After the Messenger The president is privately upset with the sloppiness of his advisers. Publicly, he’s focused on attacking the press.

Trump has grown frustrated with the negative headlines the Signal security breach has caused, @jonlemire.bsky.social reports. Yet the president and his allies are focused on attacking the media rather than showing concern for the national-security blunder: theatln.tc/2vzda50K

Vaccine skeptic hired to head federal study of immunizations and autism A long-discredited researcher and vaccine skeptic will conduct a government study on whether vaccines cause autism.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Opinion | Who Will Defend the Defenders of the Constitution? The president and his allies are encouraging a campaign of menace.

@maddow.msnbc.com Here's a piece on how Voice of America got through a totalitarian curtain to inspire Martina Navratilova. Hear her tell her own story. wapo.st/4iIKynI

The gutting of state libraries, if allowed, will endanger national treasures, and our collective historical archives, and its a move by the purely ignorant who've never used these places and who don't know what's in them. Just one example:
