Hard data and context are missing in Minnesota's overblown fraud furor
Trump's claims that this state is an outlier when it comes to fraud don't hold up, and the politicized attacks must not go unchallenged.

Congress Still Has Time to Deliver Conservation Wins
With the close of the 119th Congress just around the corner, our elected leaders still have time to deliver significant conservation funding and policy before the term ends. At the beginning of this year, we highlighted a flight path for progress for birds and people, including opportunities to strengthen conservation on working lands, support locally led habitat projects, and restore rivers and wetlands. Since then, new windows of opportunity have emerged that are consequential in scope, in particular the newly introduced bipartisan permitting reform bill: the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026. The stakes for the upcoming lame-duck session extend well beyond birds. Healthy lands and waters support communities, local businesses, working lands, and outdoor recreation across the country. Comprehensive reforms are necessary to get clean energy onto a modernized grid today. And critical funding is needed to implement proven solutions on the ground to restore and maintain our nation’s natural resources and wildlife habitat. While Congress has made important progress on several of these priorities, bipartisan proposals are still moving, giving Congress an opportunity to build on that progress and finish the work before the session ends and lawmakers leave town for the winter holidays. FINISH what...

Reports of a Lethal Virus Outbreak in Russia Follow the Death of a Researcher
Reports out of the Irkutsk region of Russia reveal a potential public health crisis developing in the area, after a lab accident released a “particularly dangerous infection” to a researcher, who later passed away. Twenty-eight-year-old Darya Shipilovia, a lab technician at the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Institute, died two days after she was hospitalized, following exposure to a “pneumonia of unknown etiology,” according to Rospotrebnadzor, a federal agency that oversees health and safety. The virus in question has been said to be the deadly but treatable pneumonic plague. The Russian government has not released an official announcement of the patient’s death, according to the independent news organization Meduza: Governor Igor Kobzev said the regional government had convened a special meeting of the regional commission on sanitation and epidemic prevention. The meeting was called in response to information “about a suspected case of a particularly dangerous infection in a resident of the region.” He did not specify the infection. Anna Popova, Russia’s chief sanitary officer, traveled to attend the meeting. According to Kobzev, Russia’s public health watchdog, Rospotrebnadzor, is taking “a full range of epidemic-control measures.” People who had been in contact with the patient were “placed under medical observation.” They have no...
