Reading between the lines of this piece, sounds like Walensky has generally taken a more “moderate” line on COVID but has faced internal opposition from Fauci/Murthy and more COVID-hawkish rivals looking to pounce. nytimes.com/2022/01/05/us/…
Example:
Example 2:
Example 3:
This may be less an issue of messaging from Walensky — as convoluted as it has been — and more of an internal disagreement of what the public health message should be.
Example 4:
Also would note that my impression was that before she was tapped to head CDC, Walensky was one of the more effective communicators as a frequent talking head on TV.

Dealing with the bureaucracy, on the other hand…
… and dealing with bureaucratic infighters looking to undermine your preferred message sounds like behavior out of the Trump administration.

SCOOP @J_Insider via @emilyfjacobs / ⁦@DanielleCoh07⁩ / @LahavHarkov: “Trump, Netanyahu at odds over Israeli plans to end reliance on U.S. military aid” jewishinsider.com/2026/01/trump-…
“Two sources told JI the president pushed back on Netanyahu’s claims about the prudence of Israel’s proposal to end U.S. military assistance over the next decade”
“When Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu proposed winding down U.S. military aid late last year, President Donald Trump was bewildered and did not immediately support the move, two sources familiar with the matter told Jewish Insider. 

Since then, Netanyahu has announced his intentions to move ahead with the plan anyway.

Netanyahu pitched the president on his proposal while visiting Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla., in late December, the Israeli prime minister told The Economist in an interview released on Friday.

The idea was spearheaded by Ron Dermer, Israel’s former minister of strategic affairs and a top Netanyahu advisor, according to two sources familiar with the matter.”

Josh Barro: “At every level in the American education system over the last decade, left wing forces have pushed — often successfully — to evaluate less and rank less.

They have fought for less standardized testing in K-12 schools, less tracking, less advanced math made available to the smartest students, and college admissions that are less tied to aptitude.

The problems in colleges are in many ways downstream of the anti-measurement agenda in K-12 schools.”
“And many of the people who have pushed this anti-assessment agenda are the same people who lament declining political support for educational institutions and declining funding for their activities.

But that outcome should have been foreseeable — if you make education less effective andmake its effectiveness harder to measure, what about it is worth paying for, with public and private dollars?”

SCOOP @J_Insider via @matthewkassel: "Graham Platner says ‘I am not a secret Nazi’ after photos of his tattoo emerge"

"A fmr acquaintance of the D Senate candidate said he called the tattoo ‘my Totenkopf,’ referring to a symbol adopted by a Nazi SS unit"
jewishinsider.com/2025/10/graham…
"According to a person who socialized with Platner when he was living in Washington, D.C., more than a decade ago, Platner had specifically acknowledged that the tattoo was a Totenkopf, the “death’s head” symbol adopted by an infamous Nazi SS unit that guarded concentration camps in World War II."
"“He said, ‘Oh, this is my Totenkopf,’” the former acquaintance told Jewish Insider recently, speaking on the condition of anonymity to address a sensitive issue. “He said it in a cutesy little way.”

BREAKING @J_Insider via @matthewkassel: "New Yorker Festival invites influencer Hasan Piker, who justified Oct. 7 attacks, as featured speaker"

jewishinsider.com/2025/09/new-yo…
"Piker, whose videos on Twitch and YouTube reach millions of viewers, has faced criticism for justifying Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, terror attacks, while forcefully denying some of the terror group’s atrocities — such as widespread reports of sexual violence that he has dismissed as “rape fantasies” and “hallucinations.”
jewishinsider.com/2025/09/new-yo…
"In one stream last year, Piker, 34, argued that “it doesn’t matter if rapes f***ing happened on Oct. 7 — like that doesn’t change the dynamic for me even this much,” adding that “the Palestinian resistance is not perfect.”

He has also described Orthodox Jews as “inbred” and called a Jewish man a “bloodthirsty, violent pig dog” and compared Zionists to Nazis, among other slurs seen as antisemitic."

"Selective colleges outside the Northeast, sensing an intensifying disdain for Ivy League schools among Jewish teens and their parents, are tripping over one another to recruit these students"

"Ramaz, a Modern Orthodox school in New York, usually sends more than a dozen graduates to Columbia each year. Last year, it sent zero."
"Historically, one or two Ramaz graduates in a given year would apply early-decision to Emory University, the head of Emory’s Chabad chapter told me. Last year, 12 did."

NEW @J_Insider via @marcrod97: "Pro-Israel leaders link anti-Israel radicalism to fatal shooting"

"Sen. John Fetterman asked members of the left, ‘Why can’t you just call it antisemitism what it is?’"
jewishinsider.com/2025/05/pro-is…
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) said that the attack should be a signal to the left that it needs to rethink its rhetoric on Israel and Zionism.

He compared the anti-Israel movement in the United States to a “cult” that has been stoked online and is using inherently violent slogans while its members “try to hide behind this idea that it’s free speech to intimidate and terrorize members of the Jewish community.”
"Fetterman predicted that the same elements of the left that have supported Luigi Mangione, the alleged assassin of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, will also rally behind Rodriguez.

“What part of my party does this come from where it’s like, we try to defend or try to justify assassinating an executive in broad daylight or … somebody [who] guns down” two people at a Jewish event, Fetterman asked incredulously."
