NEW: Here, finally, is my new draft article on the Supreme Court's Chatrie decision. I think the ruling is tremendously important to Fourth Amendment law—and here's why. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
As we waited by the copier my coworker turned and asked: “did you hear about what happened in Michigan yesterday?” and as she kept talking I was just relieved that she was discussing election results and not more cyclospora deaths.

1/ It looks like one of the largest Cyclospora outbreaks in U.S. history is slowing. The U.S. has now reported over 17,000 cases. And we are largely flying blind, but one of the only data points— percentage of tests that are positive—is declining, which is a cautiously optimistic sign.

PROUD to run this: The AG must be someone who treats survivors with dignity, follows the facts wherever they lead, and understands that justice cannot be subordinate to political fealty. Blanche demonstrated in that meeting with survivors that he is not that person open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
Todd Blanche Failed Epstein Survivors Again

1/ There’s an interesting disconnect in how we judge health risks online. Peptides are a great example of this. Why are some people skeptical of vaccines, but very trusting of peptides that often have less human evidence? Let’s unpack what might be going on here.
The other day, a visiting researcher asked my colleague “what’s exciting in cosmology right now?” and my colleague said that it’s the sea change as everyone reorients their work around AI agents. That answer bummed me out.
Please make yourself comfortable on the toilet. If a cat is not already present, one will be dispatched to you momentarily.

Here in Illinois, we’re now home to more than 140,000 Latino-owned businesses. And Latino homeownership exceeds the national average by 8%. Those outcomes don’t happen by accident — they happen because advocates like UnidosUS spoke up with leadership in Illinois that listens.
My aunt, the doctor, told me a new joke. She asked: Why are these Senators so focused on public health’s past? I said I did not know. So she answered: Because these Senators don’t want to talk about public health’s present or future. And then neither of us laughed.

I have heard that the tale of the hiker who hiked 10 miles down a mountain after impaling himself is a case study in bravery and endurance, and I have heard that the tale of this hiker needing to setup a GoFundMe is a case study in how nobody can afford medical care.
Two years ago, we were on track to end the AIDS epidemic by 2030. A historic global achievement within reach. [Trump: want your damn Nobel Prize? Start there] Instead, we walked away from that progress. USAID dismantled, lifesaving programs gutted & we’re now at risk of an HIV/AIDS resurgence.
