Chelsea's Photo After Trump Gate-Crash Is Being Read As A Master Class In Subtle Shade
The Club World Cup champion team didn't, contrary to online rumors, edit the president from its snap. But critics do think the image choice made a statement.

... Instead, the photo, like the ones above and below, was taken after Trump had moved toward the back of the group of victorious players.

Just like in a “Where’s Waldo?” puzzle, he could still be spotted, but tucked into the background.

, but Dementia Don was herded back there by a FIFA official. He didn't move back of his own accord.

... Another suggested the side chose “the picture where he’s the least prevalent and not trying to steal their spotlight.”

On Reddit, meanwhile, a user said it “seems like they just nudged him out of the spotlight rather than a full Photoshop job, kinda fitting for someone who always tries to hog the center.” ...

Showdown at CDC as director refuses to resign, amid pressure from HHS

Lawyers for Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Susan Monarez said Wednesday evening that she would not resign, despite attempts by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to oust her for not putting a "rubber-stamp" on "unscientific, reckless directives and fire dedicated health experts."

Monarez, the recently sworn-in director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), was confirmed by the Senate just four weeks ago.

Monarez was the second nominee for the position, after President Donald Trump's first nominee, Dave Weldon, didn't appear to have the votes for a Senate confirmation, in part because of his history of vaccine skepticism.

SNAFU.

Showdown at CDC as director refuses to resign, amid pressure from HHS

Even more fucked up:

White House fires CDC Director Susan Monarez after clash with RFK Jr., but she refuses to quit

... But attorneys for Monarez said that as a presidential-appointed, Senate-confirmed officer, only President Donald Trump can fire their client. They said notice from a White House staffer in the personnel office did not satisfy that requirement.

"For this reason, we reject the notification Dr. Monarez has received as legally deficient and she remains as CDC Director. We have notified the White House Counsel of our position," Monarez's attorneys, Mark Zaid and Abbe Lowell, said in a statement.

... Zaid and Lowell, in an earlier statement, accused Kennedy and the HHS of "weaponizing public health for political gain and putting millions of American lives at risk," They said Monarez had neither resigned nor received notification from the White House of her firing, adding that she was targeted because she "refused to rubber-stamp unscientific, reckless directives and fire dedicated health experts."

... Kennedy, a longtime skeptic of vaccines, had pushed for Monarez to support changes to the CDC's vaccine policy, The Washington Post and New York Times reported, both citing multiple anonymous sources. After she refused, Kennedy and White House officials directed her to either resign or be fired, a source told USA TODAY.

She was CLEAR about where she stood in her confirmation hearing - on Team Science.

... Resignation letters followed on Aug. 27 from CDC Chief Medical Officer Debra Houry, National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases Director Demetre Daskalakis, and National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases Director Daniel Jernigan.

Daskalakis, in his resignation letter, said recent CDC changes to the adult and children’s immunization schedule "threaten the lives of the youngest Americans and pregnant people."

"I am unable to serve in an environment that treats CDC as a tool to generate policies and materials that do not reflect scientific reality and are designed to hurt rather than to improve the public’s health," Daskalakis said.

He added that it's "untenable to serve in an organization that is not afforded the opportunity to discuss decisions of scientific and public health importance released under the moniker of CDC."

Heroes.

... Monarez was the Trump administration's second nominee for the role. In March, the president withdrew his nomination of former Republican congressman and vaccine critic Dave Weldon, a Kennedy ally, just hours before his scheduled confirmation hearing....

Total incompetence.

Dammit, I jinxed Monarez.

Wiki: Susan Monarez
At a glance she is the MOST qualified of any DonOLD pick I've seen. Idk why KINO apparently likes her, nor why the Dems unanimously opposed her. Reflexive at this point?

Details:

What the new CDC director has said about vaccines, fluoride and more



We know that MAGAts are trained to lie, but giving her credit . FU KINO.



Again, FU KINO.

She's also good on measles, while avoiding directly criticizing KINO. Overall, great. This the most rationality and competence I've heard out of this admin*. The budget cuts and firings still suck, but my SIL must be relieved.

Sorry, SIL, KINO sucks!

Trump nominates White House aide to be top US prosecutor for office probing Letitia James

President Donald Trump said Saturday that he would be nominating senior White House aide Lindsey Halligan to serve as the top federal prosecutor for the Virginia office that was thrown into turmoil when its U.S. attorney was pushed out Friday....

She's clearly qualified, Wiki:

... She competed in the Miss Colorado USA pageant twice in 2009 she was a semifinalist, and in 2010 she was third runner up....

Otherwise, she's defended insurers worked as Dementia Don's personal attorney , and was working on making the Smithsonian PC, White Supremacy-style , nothing else. She's never prosecuted a single case in her life. She has the potential to be more entertaining in court than HabbaDabbaDoo.

She has the qualifications that count.

[neoplacebo]

Hell in a bucket! I think she's Melania's younger sister.

[O Really]

Nothing says a person can't be a beauty queen or on some reality show at 20 and then be a highly successful lawyer/doctor/corp exec 15 years later, but how do these people keep getting jobs with zero real qualifications? I'm pretty sure there are some attractive people who actually have high qualifications. F'rinstance, I offer the lovely Kelly O'Grady, Miss Massachusetts 2019, 15 years competitive skater and ballroom dancer and - Harvard grad.

Kelly O'Grady is a CBS News MoneyWatch correspondent.

Prior to joining CBS News, O'Grady was a correspondent and fill-in anchor at Fox Business, with stints in both New York and Los Angeles. While at Fox, she focused on business, markets, and technology, reporting extensively on issues such as economic policy, the regional banking crisis and AI regulation. She also led the network's coverage of Elon Musk's Twitter takeover, the trial of former crypto king, Sam Bankman-Fried, and reported from battleground Arizona during the midterm elections. Additionally, O'Grady garnered interviews with Fortune 500 CEOs and a number of 2024 Presidential candidates, as well as hosting multiple podcasts and a cryptocurrency election special for the network.

Before her career in journalism, O'Grady worked at McKinsey & Company in Boston, where she advised CEOs and top industry managers on their most pressing business challenges. She also developed deep expertise in finance as a member of Disney's Corporate Strategy team, helping execute multibillion-dollar M&A transactions and building the company's direct-to-consumer streaming efforts.

O'Grady earned her MBA from Harvard Business School and graduated from Harvard College with a Bachelor of Arts in Social Studies and East Asian Studies. She received high honors for her thesis on Chinese politics and served as the president of both Harvard Women in Business and Harvard Television.

White House withdraws Trump’s controversial nominee to lead BLS after ousting predecessor over jobs data

The White House has sent paperwork to the Senate to withdraw the nomination of E.J. Antoni as head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, three sources told CNN.

The withdrawal comes after CNN’s KFile reported earlier this month that Antoni operated a since-deleted Twitter account that featured sexually degrading attacks on Kamala Harris, derogatory remarks about gay people, conspiracy theories, and crude insults aimed at critics of President Donald Trump.

That shouldn't have been disqualifying for a Trump nominee.
