“In order not to have a contradiction with Biden” 🧵1/11
On November 24, 2020, Anthony Fauci sat down and wrote something federal officials almost never put on paper.
President-elect Biden had just said publicly that his staff had been in touch with Fauci and that Fauci had been “very, very helpful.”
That created a problem. It did not match what Fauci had been telling reporters.
So he explained the discrepancy to himself.

🧵2/11 From his diary (released page 223 / physical page 493):
“I had told he press that I had not heard from the Biden team since my conversations with Ron Klain were supposed to be confidential since over the past several days Ron has contacted me about my advice for CDC Director and FDA Commissioner. I recommended Rochelle Walensky for CDC. Ron called he and liked her.
In order not to have a contradiction with Biden, I have told CNN (Kaitlan Collins, Jim Acosta, etc.) GMA”
The sentence breaks off there. It never says what he told them.

🧵3/11 To understand why this matters, remember what the country was being told that month.
President Trump had not conceded. The GSA had not issued ascertainment. Biden’s team could not get formal agency briefings.
But the public argument went further. On November 16, Biden said “more people may die if we don’t coordinate.” The claim was not that contact was difficult. It was that contact could not happen at all.

In today’s Vatnik Soup REBREW, we’ll reintroduce Laura Loomer @LauraLoomer, an American political activist. Our first possible case of a former vatnik, she’s best known for her unhinged takes on Ukraine & for admitting those were the result of falling for Russian propaganda.
1/20
1/20
When we first souped Laura, she was just one of many influential right-wingers and conspiracy theorists spreading vatnik propaganda: the usual, stale Kremlin narratives intended to help Russia with its invasion of Ukraine.
2/20
2/20
But now, she’s clearly and publicly admitted she was wrong. Now of course, this doesn’t mean that we agree with her on everything now, or that we can guarantee that she won’t change her mind again. But: her previous stance on Ukraine was extremely superficial…

Minister laGrange's own words introducing it -
"This bill will enable Alberta's government to expand access to preventative health testing, giving Albertans more choice, shorter wait times, and better care.
It also amends several health statutes, keeping Alberta's health legislation on pace with real-world needs and functions."

Your parents have maybe 20 good years left if you're lucky — stop postponing visits like you have infinite time.
You keep saying "next month," and next month quietly becomes next year.
Call today. Visit this month. Record their voice. Because soon you'll have all the time.

At 35 your body is still forgiving, but that forgiveness expires. The back pain you ignore becomes permanent. The weight gets exponentially harder to lose. The mobility you take for granted disappears.

A couple booked a Park Hyatt in Tokyo for their 10th anniversary.
They paid the standard rate. $620/night. 4 nights. $2,480 total. Standard room. No upgrades. No lounge access. No breakfast included. They checked in, got their key, and went to a room on the 7th floor with a city view partially blocked by a neighboring building.
In the elevator, they met another couple staying the same 4 nights at the same hotel. Same dates. Same anniversary trip.
That couple was staying in a corner suite on the 22nd floor with a panoramic view of the Imperial Palace. Free breakfast every morning in the club lounge. 4 PM late checkout on the last day. Resort fees waived. Total paid: $1,800.
Same hotel. Same dates. 4 nights. $680 less. A suite instead of a standard room. Free breakfast instead of $65/person downstairs. Late checkout instead of the standard 11 AM rush.
The difference wasn't a special deal or a corporate rate. The difference was 9 features inside the World of Hyatt loyalty program that one couple used and the other didn't know existed.
The elevator couple told them everything over dinner that night.
Here's the full playbook 🧵

Here's the full playbook 🧵
First why World of Hyatt is the loyalty program travel insiders don't want you to know about.
Marriott has 9,000+ properties. Hilton has 7,500+. Hyatt has roughly 1,400.
Hyatt is the smallest major hotel chain. And that's exactly why its loyalty program is the most valuable.
Smaller footprint = fewer members competing for upgrades. Fewer members = higher upgrade success rates. Better upgrade rates = more suites, more club lounge access, more late checkouts.
World of Hyatt has been the favorite hotel loyalty program among travel insiders for years. Points are easy to earn through partnerships with Chase and Bilt, and you can get great value from those points compared to other programs.
World of Hyatt elite perks especially at the Globalist tier consistently score highest in program comparisons, particularly for suite upgrades, breakfast, and guaranteed late checkout benefits.
The elevator couple knew this. They'd been playing the Hyatt game for 3 years. Not as frequent travelers as strategic travelers who understood how the system works.

Here's every feature they used.
1. Join World of Hyatt free, instant, and most hotel guests never do it.
world.hyatt.com → Join → free.
Membership is free. Instant enrollment. You become a "Member" tier immediately with benefits most guests never claim because they never join.
Base member benefits: 5 points per dollar spent on eligible stays. Free Wi-Fi. Mobile check-in. Digital key. Exclusive member rates (often 5-15% below public rates).
Exclusive member rates alone can save $30-80/night compared to booking as a non-member. Over 4 nights at the Park Hyatt Tokyo, that's $120-320 saved before any loyalty perks.
Most hotel guests book through Expedia, Hotels.com, or Google Hotels. They pay the OTA rate (often the highest). They earn zero loyalty points. They receive zero member benefits. They walk past the "Join for Free" prompt during booking without clicking it.
The elevator couple booked directly through Hyatt.com at the member rate. That's where the $680 savings started before they even checked in.

Who is supporting the bloodiest civil war on the planet?

Since 15 April 2023, an estimated 150,000 people have been killed in Sudan, while around 15 million have been forced from their homes.
The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), have retaken the capital and pushed the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), into regions such as Darfur.
The scale of the catastrophe dwarfs the war in Israel, yet it receives only a fraction of the international media attention.
So who benefits from Sudan’s destruction?

2/10 🧵
General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan leads the SAF and is Sudan’s de facto ruler.
The SAF is closely connected to Islamist political forces associated with the Muslim Brotherhood, which have historically opposed Sudan’s ethnic, religious and political diversity.
Al-Burhan’s forces have received support from Iran and Qatar.
That may not be surprising.
What is more surprising is that NATO and Western countries are also backing the same side.
