Through new policies and aggressive cuts, the Trump administration is taking steps that will encourage more pollution while muffling the science that shows its harms. The very air that Americans breathe will likely become less safe, @zoeschlanger.bsky.social reports:

Smoking kills over 490,000 Americans every year. Every day, 1000s of kids try tobacco for the first time, most often by vaping with flavors like cotton candy targeted to kids. Trump's strategy? Gut CDC programs that prevent youth smoking and help people quit and help Altria stock skyrocket.

When we worry about the declining rates of literacy and a lack of reading skills, it's often about children. But how often are adults reading these days? And what are we reading? A new NPR/Ipsos poll finds out.

Oh man, somebody get him out of there. He’s crazy.

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

Wrote about it here: www.techdirt.com/2025/02/21/w... Short version: almost everything people want to sue over is protected by the 1st Amendment. But it's way more costly to defend it that way (like from under $100k to over $1 mil). Big companies can survive those lawsuits. Small ones can't.

You Are Sane If you are terrified, you are SANE. If you are crying, you are SANE. If you are anxious, you are SANE. If you are traumatized, you are SANE. If you are grieving, you are SANE. If you are depressed, you are SANE. What’s happening is INSANE. But YOU ARE SANE. You are sane.

The markets are crashing, we can't afford eggs anymore, the economy is shrinking, our allies are abandoning us... But we'll always have the Gulf of America.

18F was dissolved because it saved money. We pushed back against contractors who tried to screw American taxpayers. We showed how cheap and good government software can be. Musk hates that. writing by Dan Tangherlini via @donmoyn.bsky.social

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people: 18f.org
