After a year and a half in the cross hairs of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s drive to remake public health policy,
the C.D.C. is a skeleton of the powerhouse it was.
The Trump administration’s widespread layoffs in early 2025 cut 18 percent of the C.D.C.’s staff.
But new personnel data, compiled by a group of former federal scientists and reported here for the first time,
indicate that the agency’s staff has dwindled far more,
as large numbers of empl…

Children born today in Europe will live through almost twice as much extreme fire weather as their grandparents
A child born in Europe in 2025 will live through more than three additional years of extreme fire weather compared with someone born in 1950 if we continue with current climate policies, according to new research published in the journal Environmental Research Letters. That's an 84% increase for today's babies compared with their grandparents. The vast majority (86%) of this increase is due to climate change rather than increased longevity.

In an effort to protect the GOP’s gerrymander,
Missouri Secretary of State
Denny Hoskins (R) argued that changing congressional maps after the primary

On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court delivered a blunt response:
Hoskins knew that risk existed before the primary and chose to run the election under the disputed map anyway.
“In the several-month period before the August primary election,

Supreme Court smacks down Denny Hoskins for creating Missouri’s redistricting mess
The finding is an especially rough ending to a redistricting saga in which Hoskins repeatedly tried to preserve Missouri Republicans’ 2025 congressional gerrymander — only to be rebuked by the state Supreme Court, held in contempt, sued by voters and ultimately shut down by the nation’s highest court.
