Estuaries are often called the "nurseries of the sea," because most of the fish and shellfish we eat spend part of their lives there. They support tourism, millions of jobs, filter our water and protect coasts from storms. This #EstuariesWeek, learn why we love these habitats: bit.ly/4hKqyDu

Apparently $12M was moved from HHS's Office of Minority Health to help fund RFK Jr's security, while grants supporting preventive care for low income communities were canceled. Waste, fraud, abuse, and a spectacularly bad use of public health dollars 😒

BIG news for winners of the FY2026 Diversity Visa. Last December, the Trump admin indefinitely suspended both visa and green card issuance for winners and set no date for restarting the program. Today a court ruled that was illegal and orders a restart. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
III. CONCLUSION Based on the foregoing, the Court GRANTS IN PART Plaintiffs’ motion for class certification. The Court certifies the following subclasses: 1. All selectees and derivative beneficiaries under the FY-2026 Diversity Visa Program who are subject to the USCIS DV Hold imposed by Policy Memorandum PM-602-0193; 2. All selectees and derivative beneficiaries under the FY-2026 Diversity Visa Program who are subject to the DOS DV Pause; and 3. All selectees and derivative beneficiaries under the FY-2026 Diversity Visa Program who are subject to the DOS 75-Country Pause. The Court also GRANTS IN PART Plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction. The Court issues the following orders, applicable to members of all subclasses: The Court temporarily VACATES the Three Policies pending further litigation. The Court ORDERS DOS, to the extent practicable and in good faith, to take all reasonable steps during the remainder of the Diversity Visa fiscal year to reconsider applications refused solely under the DOS DV Pause or the DOS 75-Country Pause and resume ordinary adjudication of pending applications.The Court ORDERS USCIS, to the extent practicable and in good faith, to take all reasonable steps during the remainder of the Diversity Visa fiscal year to resume ordinary adjudication of Plaintiffs’ pending adjustment applications without applying the USCIS Pause. The Court ORDERS the parties to file a joint status report by September 18 informing the Court of the status of adjudications and proposing a case schedule for the remainder of this litigation. IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: August 28, 2026 EDWARD J. DAVILA United States District Judge

Sort of notable that one of the first things people notice when they arrive in the US is the lack of green space and walkable areas. Others have pointed out the lack of cultural architecture and just rows and rows of parking lots and abandoned strip malls, third-world vibes.
