I am definitely not a Tik Tok person, but gave it my best shot here! Many thanks to @alecgreaney.com and his team for their expert guidance and for helping our bird flu story reach new audiences. www.tiktok.com/@nbcnews/vid...

This farm had 3,000 hens laying #eggs — and then #birdflu struck. NBC News’ Suzy Khimm visited the farmers after they lost their entire flock, as they now worry their small business may never recover.

Why am I wearing this ungodly amount of PPE? Because I wanted to understand — up close — what it is like when bird flu wipes out your entire chicken farm.

What a harrowing story from @suzykhimm.bsky.social on the realities of bird flu on a chicken farm -- "They began piling the bodies outside in the snow. Most lay dead on the coop floor. A few had died inside the red nesting boxes with their heads sticking out."

How bird flu has devastated one American farm

Stray feathers litter the ground inside the empty coop at Kakadoodle Farm. A few beige eggshells crunch underfoot. No hens were left alive.

NEW: The mass, indiscriminate firing of federal workers included the USDA's foremost experts on invasive pests and dealt a body blow to an inspection system designed to keep harmful bugs and diseases out of the U.S. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

They were working to ensure invasive pests didn't destroy U.S. crops — until they were abruptly fired

USDA experts have been swept up in the Trump administration’s frenzied and turbulent efforts to drastically shrink the federal workforce.

DeepSeek is the richest news story in forever. There are so many angles — tech, business, geopolitics, energy — with huge implications. Our entire near-term economic vision is upended. If you’ve read anything especially great, drop in the replies, I can’t get enough analysis this week.

Public health expert warn that bird flu could morph into the next pandemic — right as RFK and Trump's other anti-vax nominees could be taking the helm. “It keeps me up at night," one former Biden advisor told me. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

This investigation by @suzykhimm.bsky.social and @lewiskamb.bsky.social is beautifully reported and written. "It’s a danger that gunmakers have been aware of since the advent of the first semiautomatic pistols — yet it continues to kill." www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news... @nbcnews.com

A simple device could help prevent accidental gun deaths, but most firearms don’t have it

At least 277 people have been killed since 2000 by shooters who believed the gun in their hands was unloaded because the magazine was removed.

A note about this story: The reporting was started by my friend, Susan Carroll, before her sudden death this spring. The trove of public records that are the basis for the article were sitting in her email; we found them after she died, then worked to finish her story. Read it for her, please.

A thing a lot of people don't understand about journalism is that a big part of the job is chasing leads that don't pan out and never get published.

After a great two years, I’ll be stepping down as @semafor.com’s Washington bureau chief at the end of the month. It’s been a joy leading our politics team, building the daily Principals newsletter from scratch, and editing @daveweigel.bsky.social in Americana every week!
