Oh we do one here in LA, it has broadened to all reporters because LA has a shockingly small journalism scene, but it’s so nice! What were your ice breakers?

Trump Has A Plan To Sabotage The Government — And It Worked Perfectly His First Term The first Trump administration's strategy caused a "brain drain" and a generational blow to American agricultural research. And Trump’s not finished.

Trump is suggesting moving the US Forest Services HQ to Park City, Utah.

Think it might be a bad idea? Read what happened to the USDA when he moved it's HQ to Kansas City during his first term.

Net zero is not a zero-sum game Fresh polling shows a new divide on the right but support remains high for UK climate policy

A few little extra nuggets from @steveakehurst.bsky.social on the underlying data behind today's IPPR report on net zero attitudes - www.ft.com/content/161a... - you can sign up for FT Inside Politics here www.ft.com/inside-polit... (me today, usually @stephenkb.bsky.social as u wel kno )

They will, they probably are trying to get a sit down with one of the woman to include their voices. Podcasts take time to turn around!

Professors Are Changing What They Teach, Even Far from Trump’s Gaze

“Dr. Pilloud said that she felt like she had to present ideas that were not scientifically sound — such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s new, and widely disputed, guidance about vaccines” I realize I am fortunate, but I genuinely cannot imagine doing this.

When things are going great

I Investigated a Fake Newspaper Targeting Greenpeace. Then It Targeted Me. Before Greenpeace lost its $345m Dakota Access trial, a mysterious paper attacking the group appeared in North Dakota mailboxes. I traced it to a pink-slime network before it began writing about me

Tax the Rich. They’re Not Going Anywhere Christopher Marquis and Nick Romeo expose the fallacies behind the millionaire-exodus panic.

You can read it here: time.com/7377597/tax-...

I found this reality check the most interesting:

As the TIME piece describes:

"the “millionaire exodus” panic remains a popular narrative, frequently based on biased or sloppy arguments "

In this particular case, as we see from reporting over time, the billionaires aren't leaving, they are actually putting money into fighting the politicians pushing the polices.

This story is great context to headlines we often see: Stories about billionaires threatening to leave CA, as the state considers taxing people differently in higher brackets

But these are just anecdotes, sometimes fear mongering and often-- they never happen!

Trump’s Climate Silence at the Longest-Ever State of the Union | Atmos The president’s far-reaching speech ignored climate change but not its impacts.

Trump's SOTU speech last night was the longest in history --1:47 mins!

And it didn't mention climate change ONCE.

In fact, none of Trump's 3 previous speeches have. But they have danced around the damage caused by it.

Trump: I've always wanted the Congressional medal of honor, but I've been told I can't give it to myself.

I haven't covered the SOTU address in several years (Once in person), and man this does not make me miss being a Congressional reporter.

Inside the Largest Deregulatory Action in US History | Atmos Can the government simply decide emissions aren’t its problem?

There is an international scientific consensus that climate change is primarily caused by burning fossil fuels.

Still, the United States Environmental Protection Agency has decided it should no longer play any part in protecting the public from those emissions.

Thanks for the share!

Some have! But the Q is how to fund it? Do we sell ad revenue (that's a bust)? Do we try to fundraise (that's relying on a Bezos or small donors)? How do we sell this new org and win over paying readers when others have failed? Most reporters aren't business savvy & this is an issue cross industries

Where Do the Journalists Go Now? As media titans self-combust, what does that mean for reporters, their sources and the news we desperately need?

This week's Post layoffs hit a chord for me, so I wrote something personal, timed with the anniversary of my own layoff a year ago.

"What is it that they say, again? Journalism is the thing you love that doesn’t love you back."

Jeffrey Epstein’s Money Mingled With Silicon Valley Start-Ups

New: we dug into Epstein’s dealmaking in Silicon Valley. He used his connections with tech’s elite to get into hot startup deals, some of which paid off handsomely (coinbase) and others that did not (jawbone).

Flynn said she intended to spark a reaction with the letter, but didn’t expect to be personally attacked for standing up for the school’s curriculum.

“I’m just a normal person living my life,” she said. “I’m not trying to be famous.”

One Metric paper filed a FOIA requesting any police reports on Flynn.
