Amazing research by @natlash.bsky.social on how the wind helped spread the bird flu virus around Ohio and beyond. Scary — and terrifically nerdy www.propublica.org/article/bird...

NEW: Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air. The USDA didn’t test the theory after a disastrous Midwestern outbreak. Here’s how we did. By @natlash.bsky.social

After bird flu exploded and drove up egg prices, USDA refused to investigate if it was airborne, despite the urging of industry leaders. So @natlash.bsky.social investigated. He analyzed the virus’s genetics, and what he found is urgent — yes, bird flu is back www.propublica.org/article/bird...

NEW: We traced out a devastating outbreak of bird flu to its source: an egg farm in Ohio. Where the wind blew, the virus followed. Within weeks, the farms downwind were about 20 times as likely to see outbreaks as those that weren’t.

The families of five girls and two counselors killed in the floods at Camp Mystic are suing the Texas camp and its managers, alleging they wasted time as the storm approached and dangerously directed campers to remain in cabins as floodwaters came in.

The policy says reporters cannot obtain or solicit any information the Defense Department does not explicitly authorize. Media members that don't sign the policy by its deadline have 24 hours to turn in their media credentials and clear out of Pentagon facilities. https://wapo.st/3KOrokC

My former @washingtonpost.com colleagues are 🔥🔥🔥. Their coverage of the Trump administration continues to be essential reading. In awe of their hustle every damn day. Here’s how Trump + Musk’s billionaire bromance spectacularly imploded and collapsed into mutual public trolling.

New: They stormed the Capitol. Now they’re selling merch. Pardoned by President Trump, many Jan. 6 rioters are now working to capitalize on the attention through podcasts, speaking tours and new lives as online influencers www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2... @byelliesilverman.bsky.social

The value of local journalism: Last year, a plan was afoot to build golf courses and pickleball courts in state parks. Florida residents loudly objected -- as they had a decade ago when a similar proposal was rejected. It was reporting from the @tampabaytimes.bsky.social that exposed the plan. (1/2)
