NEW from me and @isabellacueto.bsky.social: We wanted to write a report on the top chronic diseases in the U.S. But the problem is a lot of data is spotty. So I spent the last month crunching the stats from various sources to come up with this comprehensive guide: www.statnews.com/2025/05/20/k...
A map of the US showing hot spots of chronic disease in the southeast. A chart showing a strong correlation between state partisan lean and chronic conditions. A chart showing the costs of chronic disease broken down by age range. A chart showing estimated prevalence of top chronic diseases.

BREAKING: Federal judge finds, in multistate lawsuit, that Trump's EO targeting three entities — Institute of Musuem and Library Services, Minority Business Development Agency, and Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service — likely violates the APA, Take Care Clause, and separation of powers.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER JOHN J. MCCONNELL, JR., United States District Court Chief Judge. Once again, this Court is confronted with a legal challenge by various states, against an Executive Order that attempts to dismantle congressionally sanctioned agencies and ignores congressionally appropriated funds. Here, the targeted federal agencies support our libraries, museums, minority business enterprises, and the well-respected federal mediation services. This Executive Order violates the Administrative Procedures Act ("APA") in the arbitrary and capricious way it was carried out. It also disregards the fundamental constitutional role of each of the branches of our federal government; specifically, it ignores the unshakable principles that Congress makes the law and appropriates funds, and the Executive implements the law Congress enacted and spends the funds Congress appropriated. Accordingly, because IMLS, MBDA, and FMCS have not provided a rational connection between the sweeping actions they have taken and the vague, conclusory justifications they have provided, the Court finds that the States have established a strong likelihood of success on their arbitrary and capricious claims. Ohio, 603 U.S. at 292. Further, the Court finds that the States have illustrated a strong likelihood of success on their claims that IMLS, MBDA, and FMCS acted arbitrarily and capriciously in failing to consider reliance interests. Regents, 591 U.S. at 30; see also Smiley v. Citibank (S. Dakota), N.A., 517 U.S. 735, 742 (1996) (citations omitted) ("Sudden and unexplained change, . . . or change that does not take account of legitimate reliance... may be 'arbitrary, capricious lor] an abuse of discretion." The Court therefore finds that the States are likely to succeed in establishing that IMLS, MBDA, and FMCS violated the APA by acting "not in accordance" with 38 Case 1:25-cv-00128-JJM-LDA Document 57 Filed 05/06/25 Page 39 of 49 PagelD #: 1396 their respective statutory mandates and congressional appropriations acts when effectively absconding their statutory mandates by terminating core services and grant programs.

An immense accomplishment!

Arguably one of Jimmy Carter's greatest achievement is bringing the world to the brink of eradicating the Guinea Worm.

From 3.5m cases a year in the 80s to less than 15 the last few years. It's an astounding public health achievement.
