www.theatlantic.com/health/2026/... Thousands sickened. Hundreds hospitalized. 30+ states. For weeks, investigators couldn't say which food caused the 2026 cyclospora outbreak. Not just a lettuce story — it's what happens when you gut the people who trace outbreaks.

www.nytimes.com/2026/07/11/b... Federal agents hand-delivered grand jury subpoenas to NYT reporters' homes this week — over reporting on the new Qatari-gifted Air Force One. The goal isn't to charge journalists. It's to force them to expose their sources. That's intimidation!
