“You can be the most worthless Republican in America. But if you kiss the ring, he’ll say you’re wonderful." -- DeSantis on Trump in January. Trump today, after their meeting: "Also discussed was the future of Florida, which is FANTASTIC! I greatly appreciate Ron’s support"
Two Russian-born Czech citizens ran a hotel in northern Greece that doubled as a safe house for an infamous unit of Russia's military intelligence agency (GRU) as it carried out bombings and poisonings across Europe, The Insider has found. kyivindependent.com/the-insider-2-…
I think Right Said Fred are implying these public defibrillators are being installed because of the Covid vaccine. They've been around for over a decade.
the best part about being in a ton of 2023 pregnancy/baby groups is getting to see all the absolutely wretched names parents are coming up with these days. here are some highlights i’ve collected
BREAKING: Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir was wounded when his government car got into an accident and flipped over. He was taken to the hospital
This is a wild story. Two British men in their early 20s have been charged with burning down Ukrainian businesses in England on behalf of Russian intelligence. bbc.com/news/uk-688991…
🚗UPDATE🚗 - Britain is STILL sending millions of pounds of luxury cars into states neighbouring Russia, according to new data. - There is STILL no especially plausible explanation - Car lobby group the @SMMT STILL insists it's got NOTHING to do with Russian sanctions 🧵
As I've written many times, spillovers are common but pandemics are rare — many unusual events have to chain together. We may still get lucky with H5N1 and I certainly hope so. But pandemics are a numbers game and relying on luck while the risk increases like this is foolish.
With what I found out, I am convinced that the cow H5N1 outbreak has been going on for much longer than the first announcement on March 25, and that it's more widespread than the known herds. And farm owners and workers are not always testing and reporting potential cases.
New piece on H5N1. I've spent weeks talking with officials from the FDA, USDA, CDC, WH, ASPR, etc., and with public health and agriculture people in various states about the growing H5N1 cattle outbreak. It's not good. We're not responding properly. nytimes.com/2024/04/24/opi…

Yup. The twitter equivalent of voice notes.
These are some of the most extreme, authoritarian arguments presented to the Supreme Court in the modern era. The lawyer for a former President literally defending a documented plot to overthrow an election as "legal" - and a hypothetical *military coup.* All out in the open.
BREAKING: WADA appoints an "independent prosecutor" to review how the positives of 23 Chinese swimmers — who were not publicly identified or disciplined — were handled in the lead up to ‘21 Olympics, where they went on to win gold medals and set records. nytimes.com/2024/04/25/wor…

@ariehkovler No. I might read amount of words if broken up into a thread but in one tweet I instantly click back

Tis a good piece. Am sceptical. Whatever private Labour ambitions now, reality will be tough and iterative — see EU gambit on youth mobility, and Labour response. The convo post-election doesn’t become as instantly easier as many suppose, IMO.
Thoughtful piece by @martinkettle. But I remain of the view that @UKLabour and @Keir_Starmer Govt will be much more ambitious towards the EU, including possibly on stuff like a CU, in its first term than consensus suggests. Thread 1/ theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
@ariehkovler @shdeen I don't think it's even used to explicitly refer to discrimination per se.
BUT many observant Jews celebrate Passover with Seders the first two nights! I will die on this (Capitol) Hill that it won't be a good look to call members back on Night 2 of Passover.
Teeing up a foreign aid bill over the weekend also allows those who observe Passover to do so on Monday & then return Tuesday. Senate was scheduled to be on recess next week.
