Trump clearly decided that rapid identification of public health threats to the U.S. is something that only Democrats want.

Public health largely began in the military because once upon a time, leaders understood that disease is the greatest threat to militarily readiness. That’s over.

The editors of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) were apparently fired today.

The precursor to MMWR began in 1878 to address emerging public health threats rapidly.

We are not “great” without it. We are vulnerable to threats from sporadic foodborne illness to bioterrorism.

You could make a very compelling Humane Society commercial using only images of my pampered, well fed dog sitting in crate after a warm bath administered by a large doofus (yours truly).

Big dumb humans are apparently quite mean what with their stupid “no fecal matter in fur” rule.

Love it. Public companies are required by law to adopt and publish a code of conduct. Ergo, codes of conduct are meaningless and investors cannot rely on them as truthful statements of corporate policy.

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking?

Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

To be fair I really enjoyed watching the frog mixing it up with the unicorn and the dinosaur

The Frog Costume has gone from $25 to almost $40 on amazon over the last week. There's an army brewing.

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

One of my favorite moments from Nobel Prize history:

The Nobel Committee couldn’t reach Stanford professor Paul Milgrom to let him know that he had been awarded the Nobel Prize for Economics, so his fellow winner, Robert Wilson, went over to his house in the middle of the night to wake him up!

Alex Platt has recommended exactly this change just in general so I wonder if this is an SEC prelude to a policy change.

So this is an interesting move by the SEC to let companies IPO without SEC review during the shut down - what's interesting is

We call this "federalism"

"With the benefit of clarity under the federal securities laws, I hope that the Delaware legislature will revisit the prohibition of both mandatory arbitration and fee shifting with respect to federal securities law claims."

I've been wondering why Dominion Voting Systems suddenly reached settlements with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and One America News.

Turns out, it's been purchased by a Republican-owned election tech firm that insisted on it, per Axios.

Imagine losing a rap battle in a court of law

i gather she's been inquiring.
