In Hillbilly Elegy, Vance lectured Appalachians for being lazy bums. He lectured "childless cat ladies" he claimed were unhappy. Now he's lecturing every woman with a white collar job for living a meaningless life.

Such a smug, condescending jackass. No wonder everyone hates him.

California Joins WHO Disease Network After U.S. Withdrawal
Sacramento, California — California has become the first U.S. state to formally join a World Health Organization disease response network following the federal government’s withdrawal from the global body, a move that highlights the growing divide between the Trump administration and Democratic-led states on public health policy. Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Thursday that California will join the World Health Organization’s Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN), just one day after the United States officially ended its nearly 80-year membership in the WHO. The announcement came during Newsom’s trip to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where he met with WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. In a statement, Newsom framed the move as a response to what he described as a dangerous retreat from international cooperation. He said California’s participation in GOARN would strengthen the state’s public health preparedness and improve coordination with global partners during disease outbreaks. The governor argued that disengagement from the WHO could have consequences for both Californians and Americans more broadly. GOARN is a collaborative network designed to detect, assess, and respond rapidly to infectious disease threats worldwide. California’s membership makes it the only U.S. state currently participating in the network. The decision follows a broader pattern of California distancing itself from federal health policy since the start of Trump’s second term. The state has joined other Democratic-led states in launching initiatives such as the West Coast Health Alliance and the Governors Public Health Alliance, both aimed at coordinating public health strategies independent of the White House. The Trump administration has defended the WHO withdrawal as necessary, citing concerns about sovereignty and international accountability.

Jack Smith Tells House Panel Trump Committed Criminal Acts
Washington, D.C. — Former special counsel Jack Smith delivered his first public testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday, forcefully defending his criminal investigations into Donald Trump and stating that prosecutors gathered proof “beyond a reasonable doubt” that Trump committed crimes while attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Smith told lawmakers that Trump knowingly pushed false claims of widespread election fraud and used those lies as part of a criminal scheme aimed at disrupting the lawful certification of Joe Biden’s victory. While Trump was free to express opinions, Smith said, he crossed a legal line by weaponizing false statements to interfere with a core democratic process. Appointed in late 2022, Smith oversaw two major federal investigations: Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election and his retention of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. Both cases were dropped after Trump won a second term, with Smith citing longstanding Justice Department policy barring prosecution of a sitting president. Before resigning, Smith completed detailed investigative reports. Republican lawmakers focused much of their questioning on Smith’s decision to obtain phone toll records linked to Trump and several Republican senators who were pressured to block election certification. Smith rejected claims that the move violated free speech protections, noting the records were used solely to reconstruct timelines and did not include call content. He emphasized that none of the lawmakers were targets, adding bluntly, “I did not choose those members. President Trump did.” Smith also pushed back against Trump’s repeated calls for his prosecution, noting there is no legal basis for criminal charges stemming from his work as special counsel.
