You would not fire these people—including the staff of the hugely, HUGELY important 'Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report'—if you cared at all about public health, if you wanted people to live.

And you would not let your thuggish henchmen fire people like this if you were a responsible president.

But this is the first visual confirmation that it has occurred tonight, and at high levels in the agency.

Here is what we know...and then some well-sourced rumors (but rumors, nonetheless, not confirmed) 🧵...

Fall PSA they put the rowboats in Central Park away soon which means you’re running out of chances to go watch tourists try to do it and most of the time end up rowing the boat facing backwards or with everyone sitting on one side and it’s hard to find free slapstick comedy these days

It would be a reach but if you were in the precleared part of the Dublin airport where US citizens can do customs there and then land like they are a domestic flight wondering if you could do the arbitration in a sky lounge meeting room and then go home

The Connecticut roll is my favorite variation also because I like that it’s warm but it is a controversial choice

This is where Connecticut style lobster rolls have an edge because it’s just butter and served warm in a good roll but a Mainer coming out for Connecticut would doom him and his family for generations

For Pensions & Investments I took a look at what's going on with hedge funds in concert with P&I's annual survey of the largest HFs - the industry is flush with cash, performance is looking decent and all this volatility is shaping up to be a net positive for performance of aboslute return funds- 1/
Hedge funds stage comeback with $37.3 billion inflow amid market volatility
