Imagine protesting the potential use of a drug that might save thousands of lives...just because that could earn Donald Trump twenty bucks.

This pandemic has revealed how much we all depend on front line workers, but it’s also revealed just how broken our national news media is.
Some journalists are doing vital front line work and informing the public about what we need to know. But most of those seem to be local outlets. National outlets are too busy making things worse while complimenting themselves at the same time.
I guarantee that if we replaced the current WH Press Corps with random journalists from various local outlets, the quality and informativeness of the daily press briefings would rise dramatically.

Project Lincoln folks in 2016: “This is not a binary choice between Trump and Clinton. Do the moral thing and vote for McMullin.”

Project Lincoln folks in 2020: “This is a binary choice, and real conservatives must vote for the guy who wants to repeal the Hyde Amendment.”
Once you realize that it’s nearly been a decade since any member of the Lincoln Project was involved in a successful GOP campaign, you understand why this collection of individuals is jumping on this bandwagon. If you’re a strategist who can’t win, gotta stay relevant another way
No one is pretending you’re required to vote for Trump. So, with that said, I would love for a single member of the Lincoln Project to explain to me how affirmatively voting for a candidate who wants to use taxpayer dollars to fund abortions is truly “conservative.”

A thread on the election of China's handpicked Director-General, Tedros Ghebreyesus (the first non-physician to ever lead the organization, FWIW), and how he came to lead the organization tasked with out global health. (Spoiler: he was supported by many current armchair QBs)
1/
The procedure for choosing the Director General changed in 2016. "Previously, the WHO’s leaders were selected by the executive board, and merely ratified by the Assembly five months later." humanosphere.org/world-politics…

2/
In the 2017 vote, the leader was chosen by a secret-ballot vote, in which even the smallest countries (33k+ citizens) had the same voting power as countries like India. Who does that benefit? China, upon whom many developing countries now rely financially.

A reminder that, on February 1st, China begged the EU for medical supplies. Now that Europeans are dying by the thousands across the continent, China is selling defective supplies back to Europe. Just a truly diabolical regime.

dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7…
China also promised that, in exchange for the supplies, it was "willing to strengthen information, policy and technical exchanges and to cooperate with international communities including EU."

Of course, that was a lie. It continued sending infected tourists to Italy during this
And it lied to the entire world about truth about the pandemic while it made doctors disappear and welded infected elderly ppl into their homes. It's impossible to overstate how evil this regime is. And we should hold companies and countries that deal w/ them to the same standard
