Block Club Chicago and other news organizations are suing the federal government over First Amendment violations.

Four of our journalists have been shot with pepper-spray bullets and tear-gassed by federal agents. blockclubchi.co/4mRA6vG

My story on the "historic" autism announcement is in the works.

Not included in my story is a lingering feeling that, gee, that White House briefing sure involved a lot men telling women to just deal with the pain.

Sec Kennedy said he doesn’t know how many people died of COVID in the US. But cites what percentage of world COVID deaths occurred in the US. US deaths divided by worldwide deaths X 100. So either he knows how many people died in the US or doesn’t know percentages.

He’s already answered some of these on the record (#2 & 4). Why waste the precious few mins you have while being wrestled to the ground by secret service asking y/n questions we already know the answers to?

Shabbat Shalom to everyone who recognizes that the safety, freedom & thriving of Jews and Muslims are bound up together — in Israel & Palestine, across the five boroughs, and in many other beloved places.

Joshua J. Friedman @joshuajfriedman.com · Jun 27

Lander: "It's just gross, racist bigotry. Meanwhile he's running an optimistic, upbeat campaign for a NY where everybody belongs, and I feel proud as the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in NYC to be supporting somebody who would be the first Muslim mayor—what could be more NYC than that?"

Several states have adopted shield laws to protect providers of gender affirming care, including from out-of-state actors who want to punish them for treating ban-state residents. Some states cover repro but not GAC. Know your state’s law & advocate for your state leaders to strengthen protections

The head of the FDA tells us they're taking a look at the dietary guidelines and that the food pyramid is out.

The food pyramid has not been in use since 2011 when MyPlate replaced it.

On November 18, 2019, Noem released a meth awareness campaign named "Meth. We're on It". The campaign was widely mocked and Noem was criticized for spending $449,000 of public funds while hiring an out-of-state advertising agency from Minnesota to lead the project.[219] She defended the campaign as successful in raising awareness.[220]
