List of soldiers killed in Iran war removes most recent four

“Let me explain this absurd ruse: The Pentagon is pretending there have been two Iran wars separated by a brief cease-fire,” Massie wrote on social media. “The reality: By going more than 90 days without congressional authorization,” the defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, “IS BREAKING THE LAW and must be held accountable”…

Ex-NOAA employees re-create a climate data site shut down by Trump : NPR

The new site was created by former employees of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) — the government's lead scientific agency for climate, weather and ocean monitoring — who worked on Climate.gov until they were laid off last year as part of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cutbacks.

White House site compares undocumented immigrants to extraterrestrials : NPR

While many may dismiss the wordplay as a joke, even one of bad taste, said Castañeda, "for a few people, it may be another license to act violently against people that they may think are aliens, undocumented. They may be another incitement to hate crimes and to profiling people." 

 The website is yet another example of the Trump administration making light of the toll of immigration enforcement through a "memefied communication style," said Shannon McGregor, an associate professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill who studies the role of media and social media in political processes. The government's communication, and even governing style, is "wrapped up in 'everything's a joke, nothing matters,' as an excuse for pushing the envelope over and over," she said...

RFK Jr.’s FDA No Longer Warns Against Ineffective, Potentially Dangerous Autism Treatments — ProPublica

The warning on the government website was stark. Some products and remedies claiming to treat or cure autism are being marketed deceptively and can be harmful. Among them: chelating agents, hyperbaric oxygen therapies, chlorine dioxide and raw camel milk. 

Now that advisory is gone...

CDC promotes false vaccines-autism link in stunning shift under RFK Jr. - The Washington Post

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revised its website to contradict the long-settled scientific conclusion that vaccines do not cause autism, shocking career scientists, delighting anti-vaccine activists, drawing a rebuke from a key Republican senator and sparking an uproar among medical professionals and autism advocates who questioned whether the agency's credibility is now gone. 

The agency's website on vaccines and autism, updated Wednesday, now makes several false claims about a connection, echoing rhetoric from Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has a lengthy history of disparaging vaccines and linking them to autism…

Musk’s ‘efficiency’ agency site adds data from controversial rightwing thinktank

The thinktank has extensive ties to the far-right network formed by the fossil fuel billionaire Charles Koch and his late brother David. In 2020, the network provided some $900,000 to CEI, public records show – a number that is likely an underestimate, as it does not include "dark money" contributions which need not be disclosed. CEI also accepted more than $640,000 from the Koch network between 1997 and 2015. 

Its other donors have included the nation's top oil and gas lobbying group, American Petroleum Institute, and the fossil fuel giant Exxon. The thinktank is also an associate member of ultraconservative State Policy Network, which has also received funding from Koch-linked groups and whose members have fought to pass punitive anti-pipeline protest laws.

The Colorado website designer's win is one of dozens of federal cases where religious beliefs and LGBTQ+ rights have clashed – and the pattern might not be what you think

Still, as Justice Sonia Sotomayor noted in her dissent – joined by Justice Elena Kagan and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson – this ruling leaves open the possibility that other religious business owners will claim their services are "expressive" acts of speech and thus refuse to serve LGBTQ+ people. 

"Today, the Court, for the first time in its history, grants a business open to the public a constitutional right to refuse to serve members of a protected class," Sotomayor wrote. "The law in question targets conduct, not speech, for regulation, and the act of discrimination has never constituted protected expression under the First Amendment." …

'Stewart' cited in SCOTUS gay rights case says he never requested a website - The Washington Post

A request he appeared to have made in 2016 to a Colorado artist to create designs and possibly a website for his same-sex wedding was now part of a case before the U.S. Supreme Court, the reporter told him. 

Except Stewart — who didn't want his full name used out of fear of being harassed — is not gay. In fact, he has been married to a woman for 15 years, and he's a web designer himself. 

"I've been active and vocal on LGBTQ rights," he told The Washington Post on Saturday. "So it was frustrating to see my name being used."…
