NEW: When a firefighter dies, a small team of federal health workers helps pinpoint what went wrong and identify how to avoid similar accidents in the future. Trump laid off nearly all of them.

Trump Laid Off Nearly All the Federal Workers Who Investigate Firefighter Deaths
The cuts, which are part of Trump’s slashing of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, will also halt a first-of-its-kind study of the causes of thousands of firefighters’ cancer cases.

The background has the headline: "The Sunflower Lanyard: Making the Invisible Visible." A circular logo reads "EDS Awareness Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes."

Text at the bottom explains: Wearing an optional sunflower lanyard in public places signals staff to lend extra help, time, or understanding as one navigates their business. Use of the lanyard is voluntary; disclosure is at the wearer’s discretion. It is especially helpful for those with EDS, autism, and other conditions, and is now recognized in several countries.

Vultures eat anthrax, botulism, rabies, and cholera for breakfast. Their stomach acid is among the most corrosive in the animal kingdom, low enough to dissolve the bones, hide, and pathogens of dead animals. A vulture eating a diseased carcass isn't a vector for disease, it's a terminus.

RIP Marcia Lucas, whose skill as a film editor and storyteller made a clunky independent film called STAR WARS greater than the sum of its parts. Rightly referred to as "Lucas's secret weapon," Marcia had an uncanny talent to see a film from the perspective of an audience--and won an Oscar for it.
Marcia Lucas stands with George Lucas at an editing machine.

Here's your Sunday-morning El-Nino forecast, holding steady at 2.5°C, using the "relative oceanic nino index," or RONI. The previous high RONI was 2.5°C in the 1982/83 El Nino, so this El Nino is shaping up to be at least tied with the strongest on record since 1950.

Attorney General Kris Mayes and Secretary of State Adrian Fontes note: "This is now the sixth federal court to reach the same conclusion."
 Today, Judge Susan Brnovich rightfully dismissed the Trump Administration's lawsuit demanding Arizona hand over its statewide voter registration rolls to the federal government. That database contains the sensitive personal information of millions of Arizona voters — home addresses, dates of birth, and Social Security and driver's license numbers. But the Court was clear: Title III of the Civil Rights Act does not authorize this demand. This is now the sixth federal court to reach the same conclusion. Arizona acted correctly in refusing this request, and today's ruling vindicates that decision. Our offices will continue to defend the privacy of Arizona voters against federal overreach.
