Opinion | Six surgeons general: RFK Jr. is a threat to the health of Americans
It was our duty in office to warn of dangers when we found them. We’re doing that again today.

Holding 750,000 workers hostage. And their families. Sounds like a medieval despot's power trip.
I asked for an Old Fashioned in Hamilton ON 🇨🇦. I was told they couldn't do a true one, since they weren't serving bourbon. Canadian rye only. I asked what he then called it. He paused for a moment, then said "Standing Proud". The drink was great!
Seems quite well founded discussion... www.wbur.org/cognoscenti/...
Pete Hegseth's one-dimensional view of combat readiness
I served on the Navy’s first combatant ship to have women permanently assigned, and all of us on the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower were completely qualified for our jobs, writes Laura McTaggart. No combat ...

SCOOP: Furloughed federal workers aren't guaranteed compensation for their forced time off during the government shutdown, according to a draft White House memo described to Axios by three sources.
Scoop: White House memo says furloughed federal workers aren't entitled to backpay
A move to deny backpay to up to 750,000 furloughed workers would dramatically escalate Trump's pressure on Democrats to end the shutdown.

My first thought was: "there's now a Trump Hotel in Atlanta?"
I know what this will be called! 🇨🇦 had it first! It will be called the "🇺🇸 LOONIE"!!
Monarchies put living monarchs on coins. The US puts dead presidents on coins. So which is it? www.cnn.com/2025/10/03/b...
Coffee is up 22%. But now when furloughed Gov't workers and unemployed fed contractors need it most, you won't know how high it's going from here, cuz the Gov't ain't tracking it no more while the T47 imperial hissy fit shutdown is on.
T47 presidential library will be in Miami. (a) is there space to park a 747? (b) it will be the FIRST presidential library... to be flooded bc global warming...
Picture of Toronto YYZ airport, seen from inside. In front of you is the path from F gates to D gates.
So the US single sided tariff war has lead to billions $$ of lost agricultural sales www.reuters.com/world/china/.... T47 will likely make farmers whole with revenue from tariffs. So manufacturing customers are subsidizing agriculture. That will surely help manufacturing grow in 🇺🇸. 🙄
Under Trump, US cedes its share of China's beef market to Australia
Australian beef has replaced U.S. supply in China since President Donald Trump returned to the White House, funnelling hundreds of millions of dollars that have in previous years gone to the U.S. cattle industry into Australian pockets.

Leaving Copenhagen. Which is in Denmark 🇩🇰. @aircanada.bsky.social is showing Dutch subtitles on the screen...which is the language spoken in the Netherlands 🇳🇱. Really, @aircanada.bsky.social 😭🤦
Sunrise at speeds that, if the tendency is maintained, Acela 🇺🇸 will reach on the entire NE corridor in 2190?
Another random train observation: every time I see an ICE 🇩🇪(train, that is) or TGV🇫🇷 pull into the station, it looks like each train has as many cars as the entire rolling stock of Viarail 🇨🇦... And there's another one over on the other track... And they're full. (also late... But hey..)
How is anybody supposed to learn German if on the same advertisement board at the train station, they somehow can't figure out what a lemon is in German... ("leh-mohn"?) 🙄
In other news, woman also does not bite alligator, but she does punch him.... 🐊👊
No shit, @nytimes.com . And in other news, man does not bite dog.
BTW, this is the right kind of ICE... 👍 It might be late when you expect it and want it, though, rather than early where you least expect (or want) it.
Not coming to your friendly east coast US city anytime soon...
Imagine that you could walk easily in your city, and wherever you need to get to a different place faster, you just hop on a bike, or go to an underground roadway, and have a car take you close to your final destination....
Paris is pretty close to that these days. Bikes + bike paths everywhere.

I was going to counter with Iceland 🇮🇸: 391 per million vs. Norway's 🇳🇴 ratio of 181 per million.
But is your comparison to the US pre- or post-DOGE-🍴?

I think this is the beginning of the end of the T47 presidency...
"We would have to give a refund on about half the tariffs which would be terrible for [us]" says every scammer who ever hit poor grandmas up for their life savings...
