Three members of Congress propose to block using the Espionage Act against journalists.

However, their bill would not offer a public-interest defense to protect whistleblowers.

The bullshitter's supposed defenses for taking the secret government documents home are bullshit. That does not imply he will be prosecuted. The government may be satisfied with having recovered the documents. But it is important for him to be prosecuted.

*Even low levels of air pollution can damage health , study finds.*

Don't panic, though — a tiny concentration of air pollution will normally do a tiny amount of harm, which is hard to measure without a sample of millions.

In the absence of any standard of perfection (keep air pollution under level L and it will do exactly zero damage), how should we decide how much to work to reduce air pollution? It's a matter of how the danger from air pollution stacks up against all the other dangers we face. Suppose we decide to spend a billion dollars on public health, which allocation of funds would we rationally expect to make the biggest improvement? Part of that plan could be spending to reduce air pollution.
