This is the first-ever human case of H5N5 avian influenza. It's been seen in animals before, but never before in people.

Realizing that the massive funding boost for secret police is going to be undercut by the inherent corruption and graft in this administration is a weird feeling
NEW: DHS invoked the “national emergency” at the border to skirt competitive bidding rules for a $220 million taxpayer-funded ad campaign.

people living under autocracy inevitably view state-sponsored news with bemused derision; we should do the same
I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

Why did Indiana University attack and cut its own student newspaper?
