Renoncer, Marine Le Pen ? Vous n'y pensez pas. Malgré sa condamnation, elle s'accroche coûte que coûte à une candidature pour 2027. Et écarte, pour le moment, le plan "B" Jordan Bardella (par @vlazard.bsky.social et Lucas Burel)

« J’ai entendu le président de la République dire qu’il faudrait rendre inéligible à vie ceux qui ont été condamnés pour corruption et fraude fiscale.

Ah bon ? Et pourquoi pas le reste ?

Pourquoi pas pour détournement de fonds publics ? »

— Marine Le Pen, le 5 avril 2013.

Nurse practitioners — the fastest-growing profession in the US — are increasingly treating patients independently of doctors. When they’re poorly trained, the results can be tragic
The Miseducation of America’s Nurse Practitioners
They don’t merely support doctors—NPs increasingly treat patients independently, including in specialty practices and emergency rooms. When they aren’t well trained, the results can be tragic.

The Chief Scientist of Canada is correctly drawing attention to these staggering new research findings, which make it crystal clear that continual COVID reinfection is not a long-term strategy for a functional society.
Tweet by Chief Science Advisor of Canada, Dr. Mona Nemer: "Even mild cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection are at risk of becoming long covid, and these results suggest the threat increases with multiple infections. (1/3) https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/75-006-x/2023001/article/00015-eng.htm" “Chart 2 - Percentage of Canadian adults with long-term symptoms, by number of self-reported COVID-19 infections, June 2023.” The chart displays the percentage of Canadian adults with long-term symptoms by the number of self-reported COVID-19 infections as of June 2023. There are four bars representing different categories: “1 or more infections,” “1 infection,” “2 infections” and “3 or more infections.” The y-axis is labeled in percentages, ranging from 0 to 50 percent. The first bar (1 or more infections) reaches 20%. The second bar (1 infection) reaches 15%. The third bar (2 infections) extends just above 25%. The fourth bar (3 or more infections) extends to nearly 38%.

The celebrity quote campaign that Reset exposed last month continues to run unhinged on Facebook with a slight change of tactics. The ads now literally put words in famous people's mouths by promoting footage of actual interviews w/ fake audio dubbed on top via text-to-speech apps.
