One of the great problem with journalism prizes is that they are mostly awarded based on the year a piece is published and not once their true power has been recognized. But if ever there were a case for a special award...it should go to Julie.

Trump announces he's transferring $10 bn from the US Treasury to his "Board of Peace," which critics have likened to a giant slush fund Trump will control in his personal capacity. There is no congressional appropriation for this, but Trump doesn't care. www.cnn.com/politics/liv...

Not only is this what you would do if you were trying to kill a technology and a company developing it …. it's what you would do if you were trying to kill *people*.

Amidst all the atrocities taking place in the U.S., please don't forget the imminent threat of being robbed of our public lands. Once this happens, to paraphrase Heather Cox Richardson, we will never get them back. (Sample letter to U.S. senators included in article.)
