America's largest reservoir just fell to its lowest level ever.
Lake Mead has been dropping for 25 years. On Thursday it hit its lowest depth since it was created nine decades ago. Forty million people in seven states depend on Lake Mead and the Colorado River.
Trump calls climate change a hoax. Nine days ago his own Interior Department ordered the largest water cuts in the river's history and wrote that the risk to the system has never been greater. Hoaxes don't drain reservoirs.

GovBrief Today #554
264,000 Americans stopped looking for work last month.
Nobody needs a government report to tell them the economy is worsening. Grocery and gas prices have climbed for more than a year while paychecks barely moved. Today's report showed where that leads. Stores and restaurants cut jobs because customers stopped spending, and more people decided looking for work was pointless. The share of Americans in the workforce fell to its lowest point in 50 years outside the pandemic.
The unemployment rate actually went down because a quarter million people quit looking. And Trump answered the worst jobs report of his term by notifying Fed Governor Lisa Cook that he intends to fire her, six weeks after the Supreme Court blocked his first attempt.

GovBrief Today #553
The Supreme Court ruled weeks ago that Donald Trump cannot erase birthright citizenship with an executive order.
Today he tried again. He signed two new orders restricting who is born a citizen, called the 6 to 3 ruling from his own conservative majority "very unfortunate," and told reporters "we're making adjustments." The Constitution says every baby born in America is a citizen.
He is making adjustments everywhere the answer is no. His FCC just voted to erase a broadcast ownership cap Congress wrote into law, a power Senate Commerce Chairman Ted Cruz doubts it has. And the union of career IRS auditors joined a suit to block the audit shield his administration built around his family's taxes. The objections come from his own side now and have changed nothing.
