Re-upping my piece from yesterday on the Deputy Attorney General's "war" against federal courts—including why it's wanting for both quantitative and qualitative support; why it's especially dangerous coming from the number-two official at DOJ; and why the silence of folks on the right is deafening:
193. The "War" on Judges
Deputy Attorney General Blanche's attack on lower courts is an impressive combination of light on substance; shamelessly hypocritical; and profoundly dangerous. More people should be condemning it.

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.

What the U.S. Government Is Dismissing That Could Seed a Bird Flu Pandemic
Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air. After a disastrous Midwestern outbreak early this year, we tested that theory and found that where the wind blew, the virus followed. Vaccines could help, but the USDA hasn’t approved them.

Inflation is higher now than a year ago.
Meuser: "We have some great things happening in our economy. This whole inflation debate -- when Reagan came in, he took 2, 3 years to start bringing down inflation with high interest rates. The president has corrected inflation just in 4, 5, 6, 8 months."
