One of Ron DeSantis' key advisors on COVID-19 is an advocate of ivermectin, the de-worming agent for horses.

He also "shared on social media a graphic that called people who wear masks 'retarded.'”

miamiherald.com/news/politics-…
DeSantis’ advisor, Dr. Mark McDonald, also goes on Facebook to “ask why the government was pushing ‘unapproved experimental vaccines’ on children, refer to the deadly pandemic as the ‘Wuhan virus’ and insist masking minors is ‘child abuse’” thedailybeast.com/florida-gov-ro…
Here’s the post from DeSantis’ advisor
In his July anti-mask roundtable, DeSantis described McDonald as "a clinical psychiatrist with specific expertise working with children with autism, trauma, obsessive compulsive, and bipolar disorders." rationalground.com/desantis-holds…

The first drafts of the first draft of history, starting about 10 minutes after Flight 11 hit the north tower of the World Trade Center.

The Online WSJ office scrambled to update the story while being told to stay in the building -- which was across the street from the WTC 1/
Now, 30 minutes later, and it's chaos with the south tower in flames. This draft includes a line that while CNN reported a passenger jet had crashed into WTC, "witnesses said the plane looked too small to be a commercial aircraft." (Our staff was too close to see the planes.) 2
Now, it's 60 minutes after the first attack. The Online Journal has been turned over to editors in Brussels and Hong Kong. "The FBI was investigating reports of a plane hijacking before the crashes." 3

Half of the nation’s doses of monoclonal antibodies are going to Florida, Texas, Mississippi and Alabama — states with some of the lowest vaccination rates.

“The cost of Regeneron infusions: $1,250 a dose. The costs of covid vaccination: about $20 a dose” khn.org/news/article/m…
“What’s amazing to me is that a vaccine we’ve been working on for 10 years, they are deathly afraid of,” said a nursing officer. “But this highly experimental cocktail? They’re willing to run in there the minute that they’re sick to get this infused into their bodies”
Unvaccinated Florida woman contracts COVID, then gets monoclonal antibodies. “I was feeling so badly, like the longest flu I ever had. I was, like, whatever, give me whatever.”

Now as she’s recovering, “I have a completely different perspective. I most likely will be vaccinated”

A top editor at the AP, @bcarovillano, tells @brianstelter that Arizona staffer Emily Wilder's tweets showed a 'clear bias' in dealing w/ the Middle East -- and that the decision to fire her was unanimous among AP's senior managers.
He denies that the campaign by Wilder's former Stanford classmates or others on the right was relevant to the firing.

"Anyone who thinks the AP would be cowed by college Republicans doesn't know much about the AP"
He acknowledges that the AP needs "better tools and better systems" for dealing with online harassment and safety

"We repeatedly emailed the [NY Post] reporter, Laura Italiano, to ask how she arrived at that conclusion but received no response."

washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/…
The URL for the original NYPost piece, nypost.com/2021/04/23/kam…, just diverts to the home page. So Italiano is still driving traffic.
The @nypost reporter resigns, and for good measure, throws her boss(es) under the bus
