Late at night, after tweeting is done
Behind locked doors of his own, most private room
Splayed out on sheets no maid dare touch
The President of the United States wraps his eager fingers firmly around his remote
And tunes into The Gorilla Channel

THE GORILLA CHANNEL AFTER DARK

V. important article - Freely available via link below. It is no surprise that Kennedy is utterly mismanaging public health in the USA & only seems to care about his own misguided pet projects (raw milk, beef fat, anti-vaxx). That his appointment has damaged public health is fact, not opinion.

I have never had strong feelings one way or the other about expanding Billy Bishop. I have personally used the island airport more than I’ve used the island beaches in my 15 years in the city. But I think the current debate is being framed in a totally deceptive way.

Rollins literally asked "where are all the sterile flies?" on national television.

DOGE cut the USDA screwworm monitoring program. DOGE cut USAID's border parasite prevention program. Both happened after she was sworn in.

The sterile flies were in the budget she let get gutted. That's where they went

Let the feds know what you think of the ill-conceived proposal to bring jets and runway expansion to toronto‘s island airport

Nobody voted for this, @MarkJCarney @juliedabrusin

The man running the agency responsible for 340 million Americans' health arrives at 10am, leaves by 4pm, skips his own division chief meetings, and when he does show up - scrolls his phone and gets described by colleagues as "checked out."

Ebola is spreading. Six Americans already exposed. He has not briefed himself with CDC scientists. His response to a reporter asking if he was worried: "Yeah, we're working on it."

The CDC is being run by a health economist with no public health experience who already has another full-time job running NIH. Half of the 27 NIH institutes have no permanent director. The top FDA drug regulator got fired in May - Kennedy found out after it happened.
When measles killed two children in Texas, the CDC official leading the response asked repeatedly to brief Kennedy. He was rebuffed every time.

The person actually running HHS operations is a longtime personal adviser whose policy spreadsheet - more than 50 items - is hidden from the department's own policy team. When Kennedy gets asked a question, his standing answer is "just run that by Stefanie."

This is not a management philosophy. This is a vacancy wearing a title.

Prime Minister @MarkJCarney and Minister @stevenmackinnon,
Consider the message you are sending by the way you go about your public consultation. Toronto deserves a serious conversation about these serious matters, not tokenistic consultation-washing of a pre-determined outcome.

Highlight of this story is a quote from Sepp Blatter—yes, that Sepp Blatter—about how Infantino's influence-peddling with Trump might be a bad idea

"For the past year, FIFA has leased an office on the 17th floor of New York’s Trump Tower that has sat all but empty. The rent goes to President Trump’s family business, but soccer officials say the space sits largely idle." https://t.co/3CrHrid6ls

Incredible. The unlawful prosecutorial vouching was literally the prosecutor saying to grand jurors “Matt will vouch for me.”

I have cleaned-up this remarkable Autochrome portrait of the great French sculptor Rodin (1840-1917), looking statueque, draped in a white sheet in his studio 119 years ago. Rodin is most famous for creating 'The Thinker' and considered the founder of modern sculpture. This colour photograph was taken by Edward Steichen in 1907, showing Rodin seated in front of his sculpture "Eve". It is an early colour glass-plate process and not colourised.

I thought Rep Scott Bottoms’ comment related to anti-semitism was the most chilling moment of the GOP Gov debate.

John Oliver had a different reaction: “Holy $#!%!”

[Blue Georgia @BlueGeorgia]

Kyle Clark asked Colorado GOP candidate for governor Victor Marx whether voters should believe he’s lived "one of the most extraordinary lives in human history," or whether he’s "a liar and a fraud."

John Oliver: “That might be the first event in history won by the moderator.”

Why have Kalshi and Polymarket been paying election deniers like this J6er to post about the Los Angeles mayoral race and call its legitimacy into question?

Chrétien: When you look at the polls, Canadians have never been more united. Thank you to Donald Trump for that. I should propose him for the Order of Canada, but I cannot succeed. Do you know why?

Rosie: He's not Canadian?

Chrétien: Because we don't give it to a person who has a criminal record.

[Molly Redden @mtredden]

After a decade+ of nonstop pollution offenses, GOP Sen. Jim Justice's coal empire learned earlier this year that it was under federal criminal investigation.

But before prosecutors could gather crucial evidence, Todd Blanche's office told them "pencils down."

[Jesse Eisinger @eisingerj]

NEW: The DOJ was criminally investigating the companies of W. Va.'s MAGA Senator Jim Justice.

Until then-DAG Todd Blanche's office killed it. Prosecutors were told "pencils down."

Of all the selfish, narcissistic things Trump has done, attending MSG to see the Knicks play in person Monday night is the absolute worst. 20,000 attendees will be MASSIVELY inconvenienced for all the extra security, the Knicks Watch Party at Garden Is canceled, thousands of extra law enforcement officers will be required (paid for by taxpayers), traffic will be a disaster -- all so he can sit in the Garden rather than watch the game on TV.

Presidents ought to be willing to sacrifice once in awhile.
