  1. What's called sending a message. It _sounds_ incompetent but isn't.

    "When federal agents came to the home of David Morens on Monday with an arrest warrant for allegedly concealing federal records related to the debate about the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic, they behaved as if the 78-year-old retired scientist was a violent criminal.

    Science has learned that Morens, an influenza researcher who worked at the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) until 2022 and was an aide to its former director, Anthony Fauci, was having his morning coffee at his Chester, Maryland, home when he heard loud pounding on the door. He opened it to find a half-dozen federal agents carrying guns and wearing tactical gear, including bulletproof vests, according to two sources who spoke with him but asked not to be identified. Another team of officers stood in the distance and observed, as did neighbors.

    The agents did not harm Morens, but took off his pants and shirt, handcuffed him, and drove him 65 kilometers to the U.S. District Court in Greenbelt, Maryland, where he was fingerprinted, photographed, and jailed. He was released on his own recognizance later in the day, but was asked to return to Greenbelt and surrender his passport, which he did."

  6. And with a thud felt on every doorstep, the Austerity Times of Mark Carney's Liberal government lands.

    Massive layoffs on the way in the public service, likely starting at Canada Post.

    Everyone remembers what came after the government of the last austerity-Liberal Prime Minister Paul Martin*, right? RIGHT?

  9. Harris does not believe Israel committing genocide, campaign says

    Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris’s campaign clarified on Sunday that the vice president does not believe Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, after a video was published online showing an anti-Israel heckler interrupting Harris at a University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee event on Oct. 17.

    After saying “what about the genocide” and yelling “19,000 children are dead, and you won’t call it a genocide,” the keffiyeh-clad man was removed.

    “Listen, what he’s talking about, it’s real,” Harris said. “That’s not the subject that I came to discuss today, but it’s real and I respect his voice.”

  10. US calls out Israel at UN for ‘catastrophic conditions’ in Gaza

    Israel needs to address urgently “catastrophic conditions” among Palestinian civilians in the besieged Gaza Strip and stop “intensifying suffering” by limiting aid deliveries, its ally the United States told the U.N. Security Council on Wednesday.

    Referring to reports of squalid conditions in south and central Gaza, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Linda Thomas-Greenfield said: “These catastrophic conditions were predicted months ago, and yet, have still not been addressed. That must change, and now.”

    “We call on Israel to take urgent steps to do so,” she said in a blunt statement.

  11. Don't understand the beef with pandering. Pandas are cool, leave them alone and let them do their thing. #Pandering

  12. @josh
    #Welker just now questioned if the #Harris campaign might be kicking themselves for not proposing full funding for #IVF (the way T**** just did).

    No. Not only is T****'s #FlipFlop on IVF not just crass #pandering, but he never explained how he'd pay for it.

    But that never even crossed Welker's mind. She simply suggests T**** topped the #Harris Campaign. 🤦‍♂️
