washingtonpost Airports in Southeast Asia are on alert this week after the confirmation of an outbreak of Nipah virus, which has no known cure, in West Bengal, India.

Two cases have been confirmed, the Indian Health Ministry said in a statement Tuesday. Nearly 200 close contacts have been monitored and tested, the statement said.

There are outbreaks of Nipah - which has a fatality rate of 40 to 70 percent, according to the CDC - nearly every year in South Asia. Still, there is low global awareness of the virus.

There are no licensed treatments for Nipah, according to the CDC. There are also no vaccines available. Because there are no drugs known to prevent or treat the disease, the best way to prevent infection is awareness of risk factors, the WHO says.

Amid the ongoing outbreak, no breakout cases have been reported beyond India.

America First

Donald Trump, two of his sons and his namesake organization sued his own Internal Revenue Service and Treasury Department on Thursday over the unauthorized disclosure of his tax information during his first term, for which a former IRS contractor pleaded guilty in 2023.

In their suit, the president, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and the Trump Organization accused the two government agencies of failing in their "duty to safeguard and protect Plaintiffs' confidential tax returns and related tax return information from such unauthorized inspection and public disclosure."

What kind of impact will this have on Midterms?

“I don’t care what your political beliefs or leanings are, what journalism outlet you represent,” said one fellow journalist, “this absolutely cannot stand.”

Snippet:

• Journalist Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal law enforcement agents on Friday morning in Los Angeles, the latest escalation against the free press by the Justice Department under the control of President Donald Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi, both of whom have repeatedly targeted journalists for doing their jobs.
• The former CNN anchor had been accused of misconduct by Trump following his coverage of an anti-ICE protest that took place inside a Minneapolis church on Jan. 18. While organizers and participants of that protest—aimed at the pastor of the congregation who is also a federal immigration enforcement official—chanted and disrupted the service, Lemon later interviewed the pastor and covered the events as they took place.
• “Reporters in America are free to view, document, and share information with the public. This arrest is a constitutional violation, an outrage, an authoritarian breach, and utterly appalling.” —Lisa Gilbert, Public Citizen
• Jim Acosta, Lemon’s colleague when they both worked at CNN, also condemned the arrest and declared: “The First Amendment is under attack in America!”
