Doctors say that measles can kill young children. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seats and drives around with dead bear cubs in his car says they'll be fine as long as they eat enough beef tallow. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

In Trump’s White House, even the teleprompter operator is crooked.
Bull Theory
@BullTheoryioJul 16
BREAKING: Trump's own teleprompter operator got caught betting on his speeches before he gave them, per ABC news. Gabriel Perez, who has run Trump's teleprompter since 2016, made over $100,000 betting on Kalshi's "Mentions" market, where users bet on specific words or phrases said during a speech. CFTC investigators found he placed bets on more than a dozen speeches over three months, including the State of the Union, a Davos address, and a Medal of Honor ceremony. Kalshi flagged the activity itself and referred it to regulators. Perez is now in settlement talks with the CFTC, and he still holds his job today.
