Through new policies and aggressive cuts, the Trump administration is taking steps that will encourage more pollution while muffling the science that shows its harms. The very air that Americans breathe will likely become less safe, @zoeschlanger.bsky.social reports:
America Is Backsliding Toward Its Most Polluted Era

Smoking kills over 490,000 Americans every year.
Every day, 1000s of kids try tobacco for the first time, most often by vaping with flavors like cotton candy targeted to kids.
Trump's strategy?
Gut CDC programs that prevent youth smoking and help people quit and help Altria stock skyrocket.

When we worry about the declining rates of literacy and a lack of reading skills, it's often about children. But how often are adults reading these days? And what are we reading? A new NPR/Ipsos poll finds out.
Most Americans want to read more books. We just don't.

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

Short version: almost everything people want to sue over is protected by the 1st Amendment. But it's way more costly to defend it that way (like from under $100k to over $1 mil). Big companies can survive those lawsuits. Small ones can't.

YES. THIS. I’m reading it now. SO TIMELY.
I just finished reading “How to Stand Up to a Dictator” by @mariaressa.bsky.social
If you want to know why the world, especially the U.S. political system, is why it is right now (even though this book is focused on the Philippines) you should read this book.
And then delete Facebook.

18F was dissolved because it saved money. We pushed back against contractors who tried to screw American taxpayers. We showed how cheap and good government software can be. Musk hates that.
