President-elect Donald Trump has picked Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), joining a slew of unorthodox choices for his cabinet. While many have criticized this particular selection, Kennedy represents a unique shift away from the corporate capture that has pervaded the public health agencies. Despite legitimate concerns about his vaccine skepticism, Kennedy is the most progressive, anti-corporate nominee for the HHS secretary position that a Republican president would realistically put forth. Historically, Republican HHS officials were entangled with the very corporate giants they regulated, giving industry significant power over our public health. Former HHS Secretary during President-elect Trump's first term, Alex Azar , worked for pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly for a decade between his stint in HHS under President Bush and his tenure in the Trump administration. Trump's Food & Drug Administration ( FDA ) chief, Scott Gottlieb, served on the board of pharmaceutical companies before entering the administration and joined Pfizer 's board of directors two months after resigning. In contrast, Kennedy built his career suing corporate giants for harming the environment and public health. For example, his work supported making Monsanto pay $11 billion to agricultural workers and families for allegedly poisoning them and causing cancer from exposure to the pesticide Roundup. In 2017, he helped win a settlement making DuPont pay $670 million to Ohioans and West Virginians for contaminating their drinking water. Kennedy's stated agenda to fulfill the duty of HHS secretary—protecting and improving public health—centers around combating corporate greed and malpractice. For example, pharmaceutical companies charge Americans three times more than peer countries for prescription drugs. Kennedy has railed against price gouging, and he supports the ability for Medicare to negotiate drug prices like other nations who pay far less. For his HHS bid, Kennedy's "Make America Healthy Again" campaign aims to "end the chronic disease epidemic." The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) itself estimates that around 60 percent of Americans have at least one chronic disease, 40 percent have two or more, and "chronic diseases are the leading cause of illness, disability, and death in America." At the same time, nearly three in four American adults are overweight or obese. To combat these issues, Kennedy seeks to stop the pervasive poisoning of Americans by large drug and food companies. He points to European nations which have stronger regulations and ban many of the toxic chemicals and pesticides that regulators in the United States allow. U.S. regulators currently permit food additives with ties to conditions like cancer and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Survey research has shown that nearly 60 percent of calories Americans consumed from 2009-2010 came from ultra-processed foods, and high costs are a barrier to Americans eating healthier foods in 2024. Kennedy aims to reform the crop subsidies so that government money does not subsidize unhealthy food sources to make them cheap; rather, funds would make healthier foods like fruits and vegetables more affordable. Another pillar of Kennedy's agenda is to weed out the corruption of the public health agencies by industry. For example, Kennedy has challenged FDA reliance on user fees, which are direct payments from the very pharmaceutical, medical device, and other companies that they regulate. Nearly half of the FDA's budget and two thirds of the human drugs budget comes from user fees. Industry doesn't just pay user fees, they actively negotiate with the FDA every five years regarding the Prescription Drug User Fee Act and Medical Device User Fee Amendments. The FDA gets more user fee funding as they approve drugs and devices faster and with less evidence to show they're safe and effective. Industry lobbyists have even written provisions of similar legislation, and failure for the FDA to satisfy industry in negotiations would gut the agency as user fee funding sunsets after each five-year period. A key component of the "corporate capture" of public health institutions that Kennedy also vows to "slam shut" is the revolving door. Top agency officials are part of a corrupting revolving door where former regulators get high-paying jobs with the companies they used to regulate as a reward for not challenging industry interests. Since 1980, every former FDA commissioner moved to work for the pharmaceutical industry in some capacity with the exception of Janet Woodcock who left the agency earlier this year. Moreover, the advisory committees full of outside experts that health agencies often rely on when making decisions suffer from financial ties to corporate interests. For example, HHS and the Department of Agriculture appoint experts who help shape the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans. In 2020, 95 percent of the committee members had financial ties to food and drug companies. Kennedy promises to ban these committee members from making money from those they regulate. Ultimately, many drug and food company lobbyists were surprised that Trump nominated Kennedy, expecting a more typical Republican, corporate-friendly pick. Consequently, they are mobilizing to sink his nomination through the congressional influence they developed via campaign contributions, revolving-door hires, and lobbying. Finally, while Kennedy has faced significant criticism for his skepticism of vaccine safety, concern over how his stance will affect his potential reign at HHS may be overblown. He promises not to prevent Americans from accessing any vaccine. Kennedy mainly wants to require more and higher quality studies of vaccine safety and increase transparency. Vaccine proponents and skeptics alike should agree that more evidence on effectiveness and safety is beneficial. Even world- renowned vaccine expert Dr. Stanley Plotkin coauthored an article in the New England Journal of Medicine highlighting the need for better postauthorization vaccine safety research because the current system is lacking. Americans should ask ourselves whether the pick pharmaceutical companies support—who have paid billions in settlements for illegal behavior harming and killing Americans—would fight more for us than Kennedy. The answer seems clear: Within the context of a Trump Administration, Americans should strongly support Kennedy's nomination as he is the best chance of reigning in corruption and corporate power while prioritizing public health over profits.

The president welcomed 2,500 guests under sunny skies as he cracked jokes about the fates of “Peach” and “Blossom.” He also sounded wistful tones about the last weeks of his presidency. Separately, first lady Jill Biden received the delivery of the official White House Christmas tree. And the Bidens are traveling to New York later Monday for an early holiday celebration with members of the Coast Guard.

Vandal smashes Ebenezer Scrooge's tombstone used in 'A Christmas Carol' movie LONDON (AP) — If life imitates art, a vandal in the English countryside may be haunted by The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. Police in the town of Shrewsbury are investigating how a tombstone at the fictional grave of Ebenezer Scrooge was destroyed. The movie prop used in the 1984 adaption of Charles Dickens' “A Christmas Carol” had become a tourist attraction. The film starred George C. Scott as the cold-hearted curmudgeon who is visited by three ghosts on Christmas Eve who show him what will become of his life if he doesn’t become a better person. West Mercia Police say the stone was vandalized in the past week. Megachurch founder T.D. Jakes suffers health incident during sermon at Dallas church DALLAS (AP) — The founder of Dallas-based megachurch The Potter's House, Bishop T.D. Jakes, was hospitalized after suffering what the church called a “slight health incident.” Jakes was speaking to churchgoers after he sat down and began trembling as several people gathered around him Sunday at the church. Jakes' daughter Sarah Jakes Roberts and her husband Touré Roberts said in a statement on social media late Sunday that Jakes was improving. The 67-year-old Jakes founded the non-denominational The Potter's House in 1996 and his website says it now has more than 30,000 members with campuses in Fort Worth and Frisco, Texas; and in Denver. At the crossroads of news and opinion, 'Morning Joe' hosts grapple with aftermath of Trump meeting The reaction of those who defended “Morning Joe” hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski for meeting with President-elect Trump sounds almost quaint in the days of opinionated journalism. Doesn't it makes sense, they said, for hosts of a political news show to meet with such an important figure? But given how “Morning Joe” has attacked Trump, its viewers felt insulted. Many reacted quickly by staying away. It all reflects the broader trend of opinion crowding out traditional journalist in today's marketplace, and the expectations that creates among consumers. By mid-week, the show's audience was less than two-thirds what it has typically been this year. Pilot dies in plane crash in remote woods of New York, puppy found alive WINDHAM, N.Y. (AP) — Authorities say a pilot and at least one dog he was transporting died when a small plane crashed in the snowy woods of the Catskill Mountains, though a puppy on the flight was found alive with two broken legs. The Greene County sheriff’s office says Seuk Kim of Springfield, Virginia, was flying from Maryland to Albany, New York, when the plane crashed at about 6:10 p.m. Sunday in a remote area. Officials believe the pilot died from the impact. The surviving dog was hospitalized, while a third dog was not located. The flight was connected with a not-for-profit group that transports rescue animals. Warren Buffett gives away another $1.1B and plans for distributing his $147B fortune after his death OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Investor Warren Buffett renewed his Thanksgiving tradition of giving by handing out more than $1.1 billion of Berkshire Hathaway stock to four of his family's foundations Monday, and he offered new details about who will be handing out the rest of his fortune after his death. Buffett has said previously that his three kids will distribute his remaining $147.4 billion fortune in the 10 years after his death, but now he has also designated successors for them because it’s possible that Buffett’s children could die before giving it all away. Buffett said he has no regrets about his decision to start giving away his fortune in 2006.

A desert oasis outside of Dubai draws a new caravan: A family of rodents from Argentina AL QUDRA LAKES, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A desert oasis hidden away in the dunes in the far reaches of skyscraper-studded Dubai has drawn a surprising new set of weary world travelers: a pack of Argentinian rodents. A number of Patagonian mara, a rabbit-like mammal with long legs, big ears and a body like a hoofed animal, now roam the grounds of Al Qudra Lakes, typically home to gazelle and other desert creatures of the United Arab Emirates. How they got there remains a mystery in the UAE, a country where exotic animals have ended up in the private homes and farms of the wealthy. But the pack appears to be thriving there and likely have survived several years already in a network of warrens among the dunes.
US-Google face off as ad tech antitrust trial comes to close
In the Indian scenario, even calling the framers of the Constitution of India as ‘founding fathers’ is very patriarchal and paternalistic. The fact that the ‘founding mothers’ of the Indian Republic, the eminent women in the Constituent Assembly, too painstakingly co-authored the Constitution, has been spitefully hidden from the popular imagination. Achyut Chetan writes in his Founding Mothers of the Indian Republic: Gender Politics of the Framing of the Constitution (2022): “It is through the dynamics of will, consent, and, frequently enough, dissent, that women members carried the feminist movement through and beyond the Constituent Assembly. Each article of the Constitution, therefore, is a point of diffraction in the history of Indian feminism. The Constitution is drafted not just by the consent of women but also by their will.” However, Christine Keating in her Framing the Postcolonial Sexual Contract: Democracy, Fraternalism, and State Authority in India (2007) demonstrated how the ‘founding fathers’ constitutionally subjugated the woman: “The Constituent Assembly struggled to reconcile their commitment to an egalitarian polity with their efforts to build consent for the political authority of the new Indian state...the assembly settled on a compromise, what I call the postcolonial sexual contract, to resolve that dilemma: they established equality in the public sphere as a fundamental right for women yet sanctioned discriminatory personal laws that maintained women’s subordination in the family in order to secure fraternal acquiescence to the centralized rule.” The beginnings The founding mothers cobbled an intersectional alliance with B.R. Ambedkar for the realisation of social revolution. They shared his sceptical attitude towards the romantic celebration of Indian culture which is deeply anchored in the brahmanical patriarchy. Amrit Kaur, a prominent founding mother of the Constitution, asserted in 1932 that the women of India were no longer willing to submit to standards, whether local, political, or ethical, which had been set for them by the male conscience of the community. The founding mothers laboured in and out of the Constituent Assembly to break the patriarchal ecosystem. But the nation has failed them deplorably. Fight against a goliath The founding mothers conceived the Fundamental Rights not just as injunctions against the state but also as a social charter that restores their inherent freedoms curtailed by the behemoths in the private sphere such as religion and family which enjoyed privileged insulation from political interventions. Hansa Mehta and Amrit Kaur demanded that a Uniform Civil Code capable of arresting the aggrandising social-patriarchal power must be included in the Fundamental Rights. And when the Uniform Civil Code was relegated to the Directive Principles, they played a remarkable role in bringing a prelude to the Directive Principles, that they are ‘fundamental in the governance of the country and the state has a duty to apply them in making laws’. This prelude, incorporated at the behest of the founding mothers, played a vital role in the ascendancy of the Directive Principles in the constitutional jurisprudence of India in the 1980s. Begum Aizaz Rasul articulated that secularism was the most outstanding feature of the Constitution. In the Sub Committee on Fundamental Rights, Hansa Mehta tried to limit the right to religion as she believed that it would curtail women’s right to equality and social reforms such as the abolition of child marriage. Hansa Mehta and Amrit Kaur demanded the term ‘free practice of religion’ be replaced by ‘freedom of religious worship’ as a constitutional carte blanche for religion would impede Indian women’s emancipation. In Amrit Kaur’s note of dissent on the ‘Freedom of Religion’, she vigorously underscored the anti-woman tendency of religious practices: “[unbridled freedom of religion] would not only bar the future legislation but would even invalidate past legislations such as the Widow Remarriage Act, the Sarda Act or even law abolishing sati. Everyone is aware how many evil practices which one would like to abolish, are carried on in the name of religion, for example, purdah, polygamy...dedication of girls to temples, to mention a few.” A disheartening chapter in the life of the Indian Republic is that the man’s right to religion conquered the woman’s right to equality and dignity. Still a struggle Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay believed that the Constitution heralded a new beginning for women in India as it guaranteed equality and justice for them. But this euphoria did not last for long. The Government of India’s official report, ‘Towards Equality: Report of the Committee on the Status of Women in India’ (1974), concluded that the Indian Republic had failed to achieve equality for its womenfolk even after two decades of the promise made in the Preamble. After the passing away of the ‘founding mothers’, Indian feminist constitutionalism has been affected. Despite strong women leaders in politics, India has not been blessed with a feminist stateswoman or jurist. Women’s presence in the corridors of power remains abysmal. The Uniform Civil Code designed to dispel gender injustice has been a cheque drawn in favour of the Indian woman by the founding fathers and mothers. But it has been dishonoured by the Republic’s political bankers despite sufficient jurisprudential funds at their disposal. Faisal C.K. is Deputy Law Secretary to the Government of Kerala.

What A Mom Of Two Preschoolers Is Wishlisting On Black Friday
By HALELUYA HADERO, Associated Press President-elect Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court on Friday to pause the potential TikTok ban from going into effect until his administration can pursue a “political resolution” to the issue. The request came as TikTok and the Biden administration filed opposing briefs to the court, in which the company argued the court should strike down a law that could ban the platform by Jan. 19 while the government emphasized its position that the statute is needed to eliminate a national security risk. “President Trump takes no position on the underlying merits of this dispute. Instead, he respectfully requests that the Court consider staying the Act’s deadline for divestment of January 19, 2025, while it considers the merits of this case,” said Trump’s amicus brief, which supported neither party in the case and was written by D. John Sauer, Trump’s choice for solicitor general. The argument submitted to the court is the latest example of Trump inserting himself in national issues before he takes office. The Republican president-elect has already begun negotiating with other countries over his plans to impose tariffs, and he intervened earlier this month in a plan to fund the federal government, calling for a bipartisan plan to be rejected and sending Republicans back to the negotiating table. He has been holding meetings with foreign leaders and business officials at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida while he assembles his administration, including a meeting last week with TikTok CEO Shou Chew. Trump has reversed his position on the popular app, having tried to ban it during his first term in office over national security concerns. He joined the TikTok during his 2024 presidential campaign and his team used it to connect with younger voters, especially male voters, by pushing content that was often macho and aimed at going viral. He said earlier this year that he still believed there were national security risks with TikTok, but that he opposed banning it. The filings Friday come ahead of oral arguments scheduled for Jan. 10 on whether the law, which requires TikTok to divest from its China-based parent company or face a ban, unlawfully restricts speech in violation of the First Amendment. The law was was signed by President Joe Biden in April after it passed Congress with broad bipartisan support. TikTok and ByteDance filed a legal challenge afterwards. Earlier this month, a panel of three federal judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit unanimously upheld the statute , leading TikTok to appeal the case to the Supreme Court. The brief from Trump said he opposes banning TikTok at this junction and “seeks the ability to resolve the issues at hand through political means once he takes office.” In their brief to the Supreme Court on Friday, attorneys for TikTok and its parent company ByteDance argued the federal appeals court erred in its ruling and based its decision on “alleged ‘risks’ that China could exercise control” over TikTok’s U.S. platform by pressuring its foreign affiliates. The Biden administration has argued in court that TikTok poses a national security risk due to its connections to China. Officials say Chinese authorities can compel ByteDance to hand over information on TikTok’s U.S. patrons or use the platform to spread or suppress information. But the government “concedes that it has no evidence China has ever attempted to do so,” TikTok’s legal filing said, adding that the U.S. fears are predicated on future risks. In its filing Friday, the Biden administration said because TikTok “is integrated with ByteDance and relies on its propriety engine developed and maintained in China,” its corporate structure carries with it risk.VALPARAISO, Ind. (AP) — All Wright had 26 points in Valparaiso's 93-77 victory against Central Michigan on Saturday night. Wright shot 7 for 16 (4 for 8 from 3-point range) and 8 of 8 from the free-throw line for the Beacons (5-4). Tyler Schmidt scored 21 points and added six rebounds. Jefferson Monegro had 16 points and shot 3 for 5 (2 for 3 from 3-point range) and 8 of 8 from the free-throw line. The Chippewas (5-4) were led in scoring by Anthony Pritchard, who finished with 20 points and six rebounds. Ugnius Jarusevicius added 18 points and six rebounds for Central Michigan. Jakobi Heady had 13 points, six rebounds and three steals. Valparaiso led Central Michigan 36-31 at the half, with Wright (13 points) its high scorer before the break. Valparaiso took the lead for what would be the final time on Schmidt's 3-pointer with 10:13 remaining in the second half. The Associated Press created this story using technology provided by Data Skrive and data from Sportradar .(The Center Square) - The City of Los Angeles’s “mansion tax” on all property over $5.15 million has led to an over 70% decrease in affected sales, resulting in significant foregone property tax revenue, according to a research preview of county assessor data from Commonwealth Title. Mott Smith, a real estate development professor at the Sol Price School of Public Policy at the University of Southern California, analyzed the effect of Measure ULA, a voter-approved tax that was marketed as a “mansion” tax to fund social services, but applies to all real estate — including offices, industrial space, shopping centers, and multifamily buildings. Smith found affected sales dropped by over 70% since April of 2023, when the measure took effect, with a worse decline for multifamily, commercial, and industrial space, while sales increased in the rest of the county and continued as normal for properties under the threshold. Smith says the impact of reduced sales means less tax revenue now and in the long term, which could require the city and county to scale back essential services, as growing deficits leave the state without the ability to provide any bailouts. “Everything from schools to police and fire to other social services are funded primarily through property tax receipts,” said Smith in an interview with The Center Square. “What Measure ULA appears to be doing is reducing property tax growth in Los Angeles County because of a bad policy in Los Angeles City at a time of probably the greatest fiscal strain we’ve seen in maybe eight to ten years.” Los Angeles City Controller Kenneth Mejia recently announced the city is “ broke ” and borrowing $80 million to cover court-ordered liability payments, suggesting the city can’t afford to lose money now. In California, property taxes are assessed at the value of the purchase price, with increases on assessed value capped at 2% per year, meaning a building purchased for $50,000 in 1980 is still taxed at $137,000, even though it may be worth over $1 million today. Because property sales reset the assessed value of the property back to the current market rate, resulting in higher property tax revenue, a slowdown in sales cuts into current revenue from the loss of non-ULA transfer taxes of 0.56% at the city and county levels, and future revenue increases from the resets. Property taxes fund most of the local government services people use, meaning lower property tax revenue can leave municipalities scrambling for funding. In Oakland , for example, half of the city’s $80 million shortfall is due to lower than expected revenue from the city’s real estate transfer tax. Smith also warned that because most buyers tend to buy property to redevelop it, a slowdown in buying means people don’t want to invest in Los Angeles. “This is a very concerning leading indicator that builders have left the LA market,” said Smith. “All the zoning in the world isn’t going to help if the builders have left.” As an illustrative example, Smith noted if a development company bought a warehouse for $4 million, invested $500,000 in renovations, and sold it for $5.5 million, the developer would get a ULA tax bill of $220,000 — or half of the pretax profit. If investors covered 80% of the cost for 80% of the profit, the developer would be left with $56,000 in pretax profit, before paying employees. For many developers, this means investing in LA just isn’t worth it.
