.@realDonaldTrump knows what is at stake this election and I couldn't be more grateful for his continued support and for being a true partner in the fight for Georgia's future. Early Voting is underway and all the long days and late nights on the trail have led us here. Let's come together and finish strong, Georgia! #gapol
🇬🇧 The man wounded in the Belfast knife attack already survived something horrific 25 years ago, when a drug dealer tortured him, doused him in aftershave and set him on fire.
Stephen Ogilvie, 44, was drugged with GHB at a Livingston flat in 2001, burned with a cigarette, then stripped and set alight while his attacker filmed it.
He woke up with his head and groin in flames and fled back to Northern Ireland. The dealer got 14 years.
Now, a quarter century later, Ogilvie lost his left eye and was slashed in the neck and back in Monday's attack, which Sudanese asylum seeker Hadi Alodid has been charged over.
His family is pleading for calm, saying the unrest in his name is "not welcome."
Two separate nightmares, a quarter century apart, same man at the center of both.

🇮🇳🇮🇷🇺🇸 3 Indian sailors killed after U.S strike on a tanker off the coast of Oman.
The Palau-flagged MT Settebello was hit after CENTCOM accused it of running Iranian oil through the U.S. blockade. 24 Indian crew were on board, and 21 made it out.
It's the second tanker with an Indian crew the U.S. has hit this week.
India has strongly condemned the attack on the commercial vessel and summoned the senior-most U.S diplomat in New Delhi to lodge a formal protest.

Sheryl. Your article exemplifies the biased reporting we have come to expect from you and @nytimes. It was unfair, inimical, and inaccurate. All one needs to refute your argument is to glance at my publicly available calendar and to review my unprecedented list of accomplishments on a wide range of issues, all of which I drove. You evidently never undertook these foundational due diligences. Why let facts obscure a good story?
You fault me for missing a couple of monthly counselor meetings. However, I meet one-on-one with my counselors every day to decide policy and strategy. We schedule the monthly meetings to give the divisions a chance to keep each other informed about HHS-wide policies with which I’m already intimately familiar. Had you read my calendar, you would have seen that I have back-to-back meetings all day, every day, with both career and political staff, with my counselors and with outside stakeholders, interspersed with press conferences and other policy announcements.
I am knowledgeable and active on every issue in every division of my department, and I always make the final decisions. I meet with the principals at FDA, NIH, CDC, and my senior counselor every morning, something, I’m told, is unprecedented in HHS history. I try to get out of the office between 4:30 and 6:00 PM, so that I can spend three hours, in quiet, responding to emails. I normally work until 11 PM every night, mostly on phone calls to staff.
In order to prove your preconceived case for my disengagement, you quote anonymous employees, some of whom I fired or who quit to avoid being fired. You also deceptively quote HHS employees without identifying whether they were among those I fired, thereby depriving your readers of the opportunity to make an independent judgment about their credibility.
I came into this job to change the culture of a broken agency that has presided over the worst decline in public health in American history. Of course I fired people—lots of them! It's an easy task for even the laziest journalist, to comb that flotsam and jetsam for malevolence toward the Trump administration. And of course, this species of journalist will always be able to find disgruntled individuals among the 70,000 employees of the Department from whom to cherry pick "facts" to flesh out a preordained hit piece. All that is required for this brand of journalism is the ethical elasticity that you seem to have in spades. You had a preconceived thesis, and you set out to prove it. This is a widely accepted technique in journalism today, but I grew up in an era when it would not have been tolerated by the New York Times.
Ultimately, God puts us all on this earth to search for existential truths. I've tried to instill this mission at HHS by implementing gold standard research to end the regime of politicized science that COVID exposed to the American public. There was a time that journalists were proud to be the fearless and uncompromising champions of truth. Standards have devolved, and journalism is dead. The Times now employs propagandists. Your capitulation to partisanship further compounds your journalistic challenges; since we all are aware of your predictable bias, we at HHS are unwilling to talk to you about the topics that are important. The fact that you have minimal access to decision makers leaves you covering trivia and relying on your own capacity for invention.
Btw. When I took this job, the building was empty. About 90% of the employees were not coming to work. I changed that, but your newspaper never covers my reforms. Nor did you cover the fact that my predecessor almost never showed up for work here during his four years in office. When we came in, there were still artifacts from the first Trump administration in many of our office drawers because no one showed up for work during the Biden years. Just as Rochelle Walensky spent her entire term as CDC Director in Cambridge, Xavier Becerra reportedly spent most of his term as HHS Secretary in California. (I live in California, but I’ve only been there once in fifteen months).
His only notable accomplishments here were losing 300,000 children, referred to HHS for custody and care, to human traffickers and drug runners, encouraging transgender surgeries, and disabling the entire program-integrity apparatus, allowing hundreds of billions of dollars of theft from my agency. I have set out to find the children Becerra lost. He is now the front-runner for the governor of California. These are not invented stories; they are genuine scandals that the Times will never cover, presumably, because the malefactors are Democrats.
Finally, you criticize me for spending time with the Indian tribes in Alaska. I consider that part of my job. I run the Indian Health Services, and I’ve had unprecedented success in transforming IHS from a backwater to a top priority for this department. I’ve made more trips to Indian country and to Indian health clinics and hospitals than any HHS secretary in history, and I’ve brought Indians into high positions on the sixth floor for the first time in agency history. This is another success story that the Times will never cover.
USPS JUST FLIPPED THE SCRIPT ON MAIL-IN VOTING, which comes straight from Trump's March executive order to secure elections.
States must hand over their full mail-in & absentee voter lists, plus every ballot's personalized barcode, or risk the USPS STOPPING delivery entirely.
