It's not just fdr. One of the things the epa did not long after it was formed was document the nation's pollution via photography. That can seem frivolous, but generations of Americans have no idea why the EPA was necessary. This broke a million views when we published it in 2017

An incredibly stupid policy of 3 byline limit and no tag lines at the WSJ. A better idea: get rid of bylines altogether if there are too many, since reporting is a team effort. The union said it pretty well

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.

An officer overdosed on fentanyl on duty. At first, police believed he had been âexposedâ to fentanyl confiscated that day. After placing some in evidence, he had actually kept the rest to use. PSA: LEOs have the same substance use rates as the general population. Drug myths are bad for them, too.
