Israeli Broadcasting Authority reports: Israel will suspend air and artillery strikes for 72 hours, halt surveillance over withdrawn areas. The army will pull back to agreed lines and release Palestinian prisoners in exchange.

Israel’s credibility is 0 after breaking all previous ceasefires.

Wow. #Missouri #MO currently has 16 human cases of #WestNile

Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services
1d

Cases of West Nile virus (WNV) are rising across Missouri and the rest of the country. This infection often causes no symptoms, but about 1 in 5 people may develop a flu-like illness with fever, headache or body aches. In rare cases, especially in older adults or people with weakened immune systems, it can cause serious problems like swelling of the brain or spinal cord and/or paralysis.

Missouri currently has 16 human cases of West Nile virus, resulting in 15 hospitalizations and three deaths. This is a large increase compared to previous years.
Use insect repellent with DEET, picaridin or
IR3535.

* Wear long sleeves and pants when outside, especially at dawn and dusk.

•Dump out standing water.

• Make sure your door and window screens are secure.

Every special election to fill a legislative vacancy since 2011 has occurred within 189 days of the opening. Sarah Sanders scheduled the special election to replace Sen. Gary Stubblefield 427 days out, then revised it back to a "mere" 280, 130 days beyond the legal deadline.

Sanders’ date for special election to fill Senate seat is historical outlier - Arkansas Times

The governor's June 9 special election in District 26 is 130 days past the legal deadline, and nearly 100 days later than any special legislative election since 2011.

Today's Letitia James indictment appears to relate to a *different* property in Norfolk, Virginia, from the one that was the subject of Bill Pulte's April "criminal referral" letter.

While Pulte described a property in zip 23505 bought in 2023, the indictment refers to one in 23509 bought in 2020.

Norfolk, VA 23505
On August 17, 2023, Ms. James granted Ms. Shamice Thompson-Hairston power of attorney to make a Virginia property her "principal residence." See Exhibit A. And on August 30 and 31, 2023, through her attorney, Ms. James purchased this property in Norfolk, VA. In a Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac Form 3047 and in mortgage documents, she reaffirmed this would be her primary residence, despite being a statewide public office holder in the state of New York at that same time and primarily residing in the state of New York. See Exhibit B.
In fact, a building permit issued on her New York property on July 15, 2024 lists her New
York property as the "JAMES RESIDENCE" and states "Remain Occupied":

Primary residence mortgages receive more favorable loan terms, including lower interest rates, than secondary residence mortgages. Lenders view secondary residence mortgages as significantly riskier, as a borrower is more likely to continue paying off a primary residence mortgage during any financial hardship. Interest rates on secondary residence mortgages are typically between 0.25-0.50% higher than their primary residence counterparts; however, this gap can widen depending on the lender. At the time of the 2023 Norfolk, VA property purchase and mortgage, Ms. James was the siting Attorney General of New York and is required by law to have her primary residence in the state of New York-even though her mortgage applications list her intent to have the Norfolk, VA property as her primary home. It appears Ms. James' property and mortgage-related misrepresentations may have continued to her recent 2023 Norfolk, VA property purchase in order to secure a lower interest rate and more favorable loan terms.

5. On or about August 17, 2020, JAMES, as sole borrower, purchased the three (3) bedroom,
(1) bathroom property located at 3121 Peronne Avenue, Norfolk, Virginia 23509 (the
'Peronne Property"), for approximately $137,000, financed with a mortgage loan of approximately $109,600 (Loan #4430025978) backed by Fannie Mae.
6. The loan was originated by OVM Financial under a signed Second Home Rider, which
required JAMES, as the sole borrower to occupy and use the property as her secondary residence, and prohibited its use as a timesharing or other shared ownership arrangement or agreement that requires her either to rent the property or give any other person any control over the occupancy or use of the property.
7. Despite these representations, the Peronne Property was not occupied or used by JAMES as a secondary residence and was instead used as a rental investment property, renting the
property to a family of (3).

Companies that survive are the ones that say the customers are right, we goofed, mea culpa. Or the ones have infinite VC capital cuz they are backed by Musk or something. You do that, this place is a ghost town anyway.

The MMR vaccine is one of the most stunningly effective medical therapeutics in existence. It’s also safer than most of your everyday activities. This is simply an attempt to stop people from vaccinating.

The acting director of the CDC called for new, separate MMR shots. That would be "remarkably complicated, time-consuming, costly, but more importantly unnecessary," @jasonlschwartz.bsky.social told me:

New: Bari Weiss booked Hillary Clinton, Mike Pompeo, and Antony Blinken for a roundtable on Gaza, her first major move at CBS.

Notably on a CBS call today in which the panel was floated, one producer also repeatedly emphasized the need to hear from Palestinians in Gaza (Weiss did not respond).
