Love sports. Racing is a sport. My opinions are my own and do not reflect those of my employer.

NEW: Major posts are vacant. Waves of scientists are gone. Ebola looms. How RFK Jr. manages HHS:

“If the C.E.O. lacked deep expertise in the company’s business and the leaders of its most important divisions were missing, investors would revolt."

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.

This Administration has removed the achievements of the Air Force’s first female Thunderbird pilot Retired Colonel Nicole Malachowski. The removal of these articles have sparked criticism because her place in Air Force history is not a Political slogan it’s well documented.

@RobWittman How can you be trusted to be honest about a damn thing when you'll act out a conversation because you're not brave enough to decline comment?

@SatireAP I'd have been stunned if this dude wasn't the shitty customer we dread lol

Oh hey! He did this to me & @DropSiteNews last week!

@MeidasTouch @Mo_Honu Republicans have been trying to dismantle the social safety nets in America since Roosevelt started them 80+ years ago. It’s part of project 2025. Electing Republicans has consequences.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA) faked a phone call for roughly 90 seconds after being asked about Speaker Mike Johnson’s comments regarding potential Social Security cuts.

The phone's screen remained visible, with his cheek inadvertently tapping different parts of the display.

[AdequateEmily (PRIDE MONTH EDITION) @AdequateEmily]

Not to harp on it but its really funny to hear some people argue “hey it was a mixed reaction, it wasn’t all boos” and then you click on this and it’s just the deepest, from the gut, loudest boos you’ve ever heard. Like just objectively the most negative response from the crowd.

[Hussain Shiyam 🇵🇸❓🎈 @ShiyamHussain]

This is utter bullshit. When Indonesia refused to grant the Israeli under 17 team visa’s for the 2023 U-20 World Cup, FIFA stripped Indonesia’s hosting rights and moved it to Argentina. So @FIFAcom can stop with the lies.

Welp that’s it for CNN

[Mike Young @micyoung75]

Alabama's map was blocked by a lower court for intentional racial discrimination. Twice. SCOTUS greenlit it anyway - reversing their own ruling from three years ago.

One civil rights attorney's summary: states can now "deliberately and openly discriminate against Black voters without fear of consequence."

The average lifespan of a female screwworm fly is 10 to 30 days, once they lay eggs in an open wound they hatch and the maggots feed for 7 days before dropping to the ground, burrowing into the soil and emerge as adult flies.

Tell me then how can the first screwworm case detected in the US on day 498 of the trump presidency be Joe Biden's fault???????

[Thomas Kennedy @tomaskenn]

Maybe DeSantis should not have spent $991 million in taxpayer dollars on Alligator Alcatraz, including $219 on a single porta potty company. Misuse of public funds has consequences and now it’s us taxpayers that are paying for it.

About half of the epstein files is in Madison Square Garden tonight.

[Jim Sciutto @jimsciutto]

We are ten years into allegations of widespread election fraud - only for elections Trump or republicans lose, mind you - for which Trump and allies have either not produced evidence, or claimed evidence which was subsequently debunked. And blatant contradictions - such as celebrating wins under the same laws and practices while confidently declaring theft for any losses - are now the norm.

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

Yes, it is in fact racist to single out an entire ethnic group for special condemnation!

Report @TheAthleticFC

There’s been a lot of public money spent in the US towards this World Cup.

Here’s a mad one: the $25.8m spent by Kansas City to get a jail ready for the World Cup, only for it not to be ready by the World Cup…

[Thomas Kennedy @tomaskenn]

More than $25 million in Kansas City was allocated to building a jail nicknamed the “World Cup Jail.” Dystopian stuff.
