Casey Means is a grifter who dropped out of ENT residency to start a company selling glucose monitors to non-diabetics & a “health app.” She doesn’t know basic science concepts, yet claims she’s a metabolism expert. Incomplete ENT residency ≠ expert. Of course she’s put up for Surgeon General.

BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda. Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them. I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.

We’ve talked about this before, but we wanted to expand on it a little more. Late last week, Elon Musk’s so-called “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) effectively took control of the Department of the Interior without a single Senate confirmation, public hearing, or vote.

Today House Republicans, cheered on by the richest person on Earth, passed a budget framework that will cut support for the poorest people in our country. All while cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and massively increasing the deficit.

Disgraceful move by CTV and Bell Media. For a supposed news organization to choose appeasing the federal Cons and online right-wing trolls over fact-checking by @rachelgilmore.bsky.social (you know, actual journalism) is pathetic.
