Catherine O’Hara. My goodness. Hard to explain the impact she had on comedy. For me, no one better. She was generational. Since SCTV she has been brilliant. Brilliant, brilliant. Funniest ever. Man. We lost a great. A true great. Sending love to Bo Welch and her family. So sad we lost her incredible presence among us. Will always look up to her. Man.

"wherever he goes, he wants to leave"-- that's because when he gets there, he has brought his own self along; & whatever club he's invited to join has been devalued by the invitation.

So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend’s or relative’s accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated , uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the “most wealthy person in the world.”

The third annual Amazin' Mets Foundation Legacy Award has been given today by the Mets to @SlangsOnSports 👏

The award celebrates the people and organizations in the baseball community that are making a difference and driving impactful change, on and off the field

From the Mets: "Sarah Langs is not only a brilliant baseball mind, with her vast knowledge of the game as a statistical analyst, but she is a powerful voice and a relentless advocate.

In her fight with ALS, Sarah has raised awareness and inspired countless others throughout the baseball community. Sarah has reminded us that baseball is more than stats and scores, it’s about resilience, community, and lifting each other up.

Sarah embodies everything the AMF Legacy Award stands for – courage, passion, and a commitment to making baseball better for everyone."

NYers knew Andrew Cuomo was backed by Trump’s orbit. That’s why he lost the primary.

Now we have confirmation.

It’s time for Dem leaders to unite behind @ZohranKMamdani. If they don’t now, how can they call for party unity later?

We must lead by example.
Let’s win together.

My op-ed in @nytimes: People of good conscience must stop the starvation in Gaza.

@wckitchen is cooking tens of thousands of meals per day…but we urgently need humanitarian corridors open and safe so that we can scale up to meet the need.

Great time hanging out with Ted Lasso and Coach Beard (Brenden Hunt) at the @NLBMuseumKC last Sunday. I’m absolutely thrilled that @jasonsudeikis included the NLBM as part of an episode for the next season of the hit show! The crew and production team were all amazing!

[Chef José Andrés 🕊️🥘🍳 @chefjoseandres]

After five days with no food to cook, our @WCKitchen team in Gaza is again cooking hot meals. Ingredients are very limited, and we won’t be able to cook for long. The people of Gaza need food, and they need it NOW! Children are starving, they are crying…let’s allow aid to safely flow in, put an end to this war, bring hostages home, a ceasefire….there’s no time to wait. Our kitchens are ready to feed but we need food.

Fun Fact -

Pam Bondi was Florida's attorney general 2011-2019.

The same time Epstein's flight logs became public.

Victims' were filing lawsuits,

Evidence was pouring in against Epstein….

Pam Bondi never launched a probe or took up the case.

Pam Bondi may not be in the Epstein files,

But she sure as hell has something to hide.

CNN: According to four officials inside FEMA.. a new rule that any expected expenditure over $100,000 needed sign off from Noem slowed the federal response. 

The sources tell us that FEMA's deployment of urban search and rescue teams, which are typically deployed in anticipation they might be needed instead, was delayed until Monday, three days after the flood. 

Now, a source also tells us that a request Texas made for FEMA aerial imagery to aid in the search was also delayed, waiting for Secretary Noem's approval. 

Now, additionally, multiple FEMA officials say that they were taken aback by the agency's relatively limited response in the immediate aftermath of the disaster

Lee: Would say it would be “illegal DEI” for a lesson plan on the Tulsa race massacre?

McMahon: I’d have to get back to you

Lee: Do you know what the Tulsa race massacre is?

McMahon: I’d like to look into it more and get back to you on it.

Lee: How about the book from Ruby Bridges?

McMahon: I haven’t read that

Lee: Have you learned about Ruby Bridges?

McMahon: If you have specific examples—

Lee: That was a specific example

After 21 years at my dream job, I’m very sad to announce my early retirement from the National Institutes of Health. My life’s work has been to scientifically study how our food environment affects what we eat, and how what we eat affects our physiology. Lately, I’ve focused on unravelling the reasons why diets high in ultra-processed food are linked to epidemic proportions of chronic diseases such as diabetes and obesity. Our research leads the world on this topic.

Given recent bipartisan goals to prevent diet-related chronic diseases, and new agency leadership professing to prioritize scientific investigation of ultra-processed foods, I had hoped to expand our research program with ambitious plans to more rapidly and efficiently determine how our food is likely making Americans chronically sick.

Unfortunately, recent events have made me question whether NIH continues to be a place where I can freely conduct unbiased science. Specifically, I experienced censorship in the reporting of our research because of agency concerns that it did not appear to fully support preconceived narratives of my agency’s leadership about ultra-processed food addiction.

I was hoping this was an aberration. So, weeks ago I wrote to my agency’s leadership expressing my concerns and requested time to discuss these issues, but I never received a response. Without any reassurance there wouldn’t be continued censorship or meddling in our research, I felt compelled to accept early retirement to preserve health insurance for my family. (Resigning later in protest of any future meddling or censorship would result in losing that benefit.) Due to very tight deadlines to make this decision, I don’t yet have plans for my future career.

The NIH has been a wonderful place because it allows scientists to take risks, form unique collaborations, and do studies difficult to conduct elsewhere. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished and I’m fortunate to have had such wonderful colleagues and scientific collaborators. I hope to someday return to government service and lead a research program that will continue to provide gold-standard science to make Americans healthy.
