Two Washington Post Editorial Board members announced they would be stepping down on Monday, three days after the Left-leaning paper said it would not make an endorsement in the 2024 presidential race. The Editorial Board of The Washington Post, the newspaper owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, said on Friday, “We are returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates” after it began making endorsements in 1976. The Post’s Editorial Board has never endorsed a Republican presidential candidate. Many writers on The Washington Post’s opinion staff were outraged after the paper’s decision, and anti-Trump Editor-at-Large Robert Kagan resigned from his position shortly after the Editorial Board made the announcement. Editorial Board members Molly Roberts and David Hoffman resigned on Monday. “Let’s say that an editorial board had a decades long practice of not endorsing candidates for president: This would be the election to reverse that position and take a stand. That the Washington Post editorial board has been forced to do the opposite dishonors our values and robs us of our purpose,” wrote Roberts. “To be very clear, the decision not to endorse this election was not the editorial board’s. It was (you can read the reporting) Jeff Bezos’s. By registering my dissent, I don’t intend to impugn the conduct of any of my colleagues, all of whom were put in nearly impossible positions.” “I’m resigning from The Post editorial board because the imperative to endorse Kamala Harris over Donald Trump is about as morally clear as it gets. Worse, our silence is exactly what Donald Trump wants: for the media, for us, to keep quiet,” Roberts added. pic.twitter.com/3dEjGkVzMp — Molly Roberts (@mollylroberts) October 28, 2024 New York Times reporter Ben Mullin wrote on X that Hoffman is stepping down from his position on the Editorial Board but will stay at the Post. “While leaving the board, I refuse to give up on The Post, where I have spent 42 years,” Hoffman wrote in a letter to David Shipley, the Post’s editorial page editor. “I believe we face a very real threat of autocracy in the candidacy of Donald Trump. I find it untenable and unconscionable that we have lost our voice at this perilous moment,” Hoffman added. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ Leftist editors and reporters at the Post expressed their outrage on Friday after the paper declined to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris over former President Donald Trump. Washington Post columnist Karen Attiah wrote, “Today has been an absolute stab in the back. What an insult to those of us who have literally put our careers and lives on the line, to call out threats to human rights and democracy.” Reporter Brianna Sacks lamented the decision, writing, “We won a Pulitzer for public service for our coverage of the Jan. 6 insurrection.” The Los Angeles Times, another Left-leaning newspaper, also declined to make an endorsement in the 2024 race after backing Democrats in every election since 2008.

In just over a week from today, we will know who the next President of the United States is going to be. Or maybe it’ll be more like two weeks from today. Or two months. Or, it could be at exactly 2:00am on Wednesday morning when a bunch of ballots for Kamala Harris materialize magically out of the ether. It’s very difficult to predict. But one way or another, some time in the not too distant future, we will have a new president. That much we know. We also know that, no matter what happens on November 5 — and the days and weeks that follow — the fight for our culture will continue. Hopefully we will be marching forward with a victorious spirit and a feeling of triumph, having just defeated Kamala Harris and having sent her to fade into obscurity to never again be spoken of. Because we can be sure that if she loses, the Democrat Party will throw Kamala and her whole camp into the deepest and darkest memory-hole that they can find, and pretend that she never existed. God willing, that’s our future. One where we are the winning side, and our job is to keep pushing forward, pressing our advantage, and turning our political success into cultural change. But it’s also quite possible that things go the other way and Kamala wins — whether she actually wins or not. In that case we will not be feeling quite so victorious or triumphant. We will be condemned to four years of that hideous, ungodly cackle ringing in our ears. The auditory torture, of course, will be the least of our problems. It will be a deeply depressing reality. Yet the fight will continue in that case, too, and take on a new and greater urgency. There is no scenario — no outcome in this election, or any election — that will allow us to kick up our feet, or hang our heads, and declare the fight over. It continues, and so do we. That’s why I think it’s good timing that my new film, “Am I Racist?,” debuts on Daily Wire today, October 28. Right now, you can go to DailyWire.com, sign up for a membership, and watch the number one documentary of the decade, which is also one of the top 35 highest grossing documentaries of all time. “Am I Racist?” is my satirical investigation of the DEI scam, and the Left-wing race hustle that makes that scam possible. The film follows my profoundly emotional and heartfelt journey of self-discovery and racial awakening. A journey that begins with me becoming DEI certified, and ends — well, you’ll just have to see where it ends for yourself. Things get very weird, and very dark — but also, always, hilarious. I say that it’s good timing for the film to hit the platform today — available to watch right now, after you become a member — for a couple of reasons. DailyWire+ First of all, Kamala Harris is truly our first DEI presidential candidate. She’s not the first race hustling candidate. We’ve had plenty of those in my lifetime. And she’s not the first to run on a platform grounded in Left-wing intersectional victimology. We’ve had plenty of those, too. She is the worst of the bunch, in both cases, but not the first. She is, however, the first person in the history of American politics to have been awarded a major party presidential nomination purely because she checks the necessary demographic boxes, and without a single vote being cast in her favor. Calling her a DEI candidate is not a “slur” — or at least if it is a slur, it happens to be an accurate one. We came up with the idea for “Am I Racist?” all the way back in the fall of 2022, shortly after my first film, “What Is A Woman?” was released. We had no way of knowing back then, or at any point during the 18 months of filming, that our cinematic broadside against the DEI scam would land right before an election featuring our first DEI candidate. We thought it would be an election featuring our first fully comatose candidate in Joe Biden. Instead we have one who’s only partially comatose in Kamala Harris. But then Biden was sacked just a few weeks after we finished post production on the film. Pretty soon it became obvious that “Am I Racist?” was more relevant and more timely than we even realized. It reminded us of that moment in March of 2022 when Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) famously asked Ketanji Brown Jackson to define the word “woman.” The soon-to-be Supreme Court Justice infamously responded that she is “not a biologist” and therefore cannot answer a question that any halfway literate third grader could answer. That moment propelled the “What Is A Woman?” question into the headlines. As it happened, we had just wrapped post production on a movie with that question as its title. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ At the risk of sounding too self-serious, I don’t think that these are mere fortunate coincidences. I believe that in both cases we made the films that God wanted us to make. They were unleashed on the world right when they needed to be. Filming “Am I Racist?” was a longer and more painful process than I imagined at the start. The thing about a creative project that takes a long while to finish is that you have plenty of time — way too much time — to second guess yourself. Eventually, you start to wonder why you ever took on the project to begin with. To be honest, I’ve written three books and made two movies and the “why did I ever decide to do this?” phase seems to just be an inevitable part of the creative process. At least it is for me. But with this film, and the last one, the answer to the “why” question became very clear once it was finished and released. “Am I Racist?” is exposing a type of evil that has now been made manifest, politically, in the candidacy of Kamala Harris. But she is just one manifestation, however dire and dangerous. Left-wing racial ideology has wreaked havoc on society much more broadly than this one person. It is an evil that not only deserves to be mocked but must be mocked. Ruthlessly and mercilessly, as we do in the film. That’s why I’m glad that the movie is hitting streaming on the Daily Wire today, a week before the election. Now is the best possible time to confront this madness for what it is, and laugh hysterically at it. Second, the larger fight isn’t just about DEI, or race, or the election. This is a fight for the culture. What is the culture? Well, the culture is everything. It’s all of the values and beliefs and traditions and customs and characteristics that define us as a nation. That’s why I have no patience for people — especially conservatives — who roll their eyes and wave away “the culture war” as some kind of irrelevant side show. It’s not a side show. It’s the whole show. It’s the fight over who we are, and who we will be. What could possibly be more important than that? Our culture is what our country is made of. The culture matters for the same reason that the air you’re breathing right now matters. WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show Culture is shaped and influenced by many things, but not by any one thing so much as art: Movies, TV shows, music, entertainment. You can’t fight for the culture if you aren’t fighting in this realm. That’s why we took on the significant expense and risk of making “Am I Racist?” and even putting it in theaters before its platform release today. It’s why the number one rule we set for ourselves while making the film was that it had to be funny and it had to be entertaining and it had to tell a story. We put that ahead of the message, ahead of our desire to inform, ahead of everything. This needed to be a real film, not a sermon wearing the thin cloak of a film. It needed to be a film that people watch and enjoy — enjoy because they enjoy it, not because they think they should enjoy it, or because they enjoy the idea of it. That’s how conservative art has worked for many years now. And for that reason, conservative art has had no cultural impact. It hasn’t mattered. We wanted to help change that. That was the ambition that drove us to make this movie, and to make it the way we made it. It’s also what drives all of us here at the Daily Wire every day. We are here to move the culture. That is our single-minded focus. And we can’t do it without you. So go to DailyWire.com, get your membership if you haven’t yet, and watch “Am I Racist?” Then stick around for what’s next. Because, one way or another, the fight is just beginning.

Nevada Supreme Court ruled that un-postmarked mail-in ballots-received after the election- must be counted, upholding a lower court’s ruling.  On Monday, the Supreme Court ruled that absentee mail-in ballots with a postmark can be counted up to four days after Election Day and that mail-in ballots without a postmark can be accepted and processed for up to three days after the general election day on November 5, CBS 8 News Now reported. Earlier this year, James Russell, Carson City District Court Judge, issued a ruling on the issue, saying, “The public interest is served by ensuring that the maximum number of legitimate voters are counted,” and adding that not counting absentee ballots without postmarks would “disenfranchise voters,” the Washington Examiner noted. The Nevada Supreme Court upheld a lower court’s ruling Monday, allowing mail-in ballots without postmarks received by Election Day to be counted in the days after the election. https://t.co/rhcuUAQM0f — David Charns (@davidcharns) October 28, 2024 The announcement comes months after former President Donald Trump’s campaign — along with the Republican National Committee and the state’s Republican Party — filed a lawsuit against the Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar (D) and several county clerks, arguing that the state’s mail-in ballot deadline was unconstitutional. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ Vice President Kamala Harris and Trump are in a tight battle in the swing state, and the polls continue to show the presidential candidates are basically in a dead heat in Nevada. Last week, a federal appeals court in Mississippi ruled in the GOP’s favor in another suit that argued mail-in ballots received after Election Day were illegal, the Hill reported.  However, it is unclear if that ruling will affect the 2024 election. The current law allows for mail-in ballots to be received for up to five days after Election Day. Circuit Judge Andrew Oldham wrote for the unanimous three-judge panel that, “Federal law requires voters to take timely steps to vote by Election Day. And federal law does not permit the State of Mississippi to extend the period for voting by one day, five days, or 100 days. The State’s contrary law is preempted.” “Congress statutorily designated a singular ‘day for the election’ of members of Congress and the appointment of presidential electors,” the panel added. “Text, precedent and historical practice confirm this ‘day for the election’ is the day by which ballots must be both cast by voters and received by state officials.”  RNC Chairman Michael Whatley released a statement about the Mississippi ruling, calling it a “major win for election integrity, upholding the law and commonsense ballot safeguards.” “Voters deserve nothing less than a fair and transparent election which ends on November 5th,” Whatley wrote. “We will continue to defend the law, fight for protection of every legal vote, and stop election interference in our country’s most important election.”  The appeals court ruling now sends the decision back to the lower court to decide whether the statute will be blocked immediately or whether it’s too close to Election Day 2024 to make the changes, the Hill noted.

The FDA has issued a significant recall of duloxetine capsules over contamination fears, leaving patients and healthcare providers in cautious anticipation of viable alternatives. Over 7000 bottles have been recalled. Alternative medicines are being deployed. Recall Overview The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recalled 7,107 bottles of duloxetine delayed-release capsules, sold under the brand name Cymbalta, due to the finding of N-nitroso-duloxetine. This chemical is a probable carcinogen, raising the risk of cancer if consumed in significant amounts. These 20mg capsules, identified by lot number 220128 with an expiration date of December 2024, were mainly supplied by Towa Pharmaceutical Europe. N-nitroso-duloxetine is known for its potential carcinogenic effects, particularly when found in higher concentrations than the recommended safety thresholds for daily intake. This recall falls into the Class II category, indicating limited health consequences but necessary precautionary measures. Breckenridge Pharmaceutical, the principal distributor, has emphasized this classification indicates a minimal risk of significant health problems for consumers. Duloxetine Recall: FDA Flags Carcinogenic Risk for Popular Antidepressant https://t.co/kyhHo5Q8b8 via @peoplespharmacy — The Peoples Pharmacy (@PeoplesPharmacy) October 27, 2024 Guidelines for Healthcare Providers The FDA advises medical professionals to discuss alternative treatment options with affected patients. Pharmacists should confirm if the medications being dispensed are part of the recall and consider offering lots that are not involved in the recall. The integrity of this medication is crucial as it treats patients suffering from depression, anxiety, and mood disorders, hence the importance of sustainable alternatives. “FDA, in collaboration with regulatory counterparts around the world, has set internationally-recognized acceptable daily intake limits for nitrosamines. Nitrosamines below this level are acceptable in drugs. If drugs contain levels of nitrosamines above the acceptable daily intake limit, FDA recommends these drugs be recalled by the manufacturer.” – FDA Since nitrosamine impurities have prompted several recalls, particularly in medications such as anticoagulants and metformin, healthcare professionals have become vigilant about conducting detailed assessments of compromised drug products. Hence, there is an emphasis on patient education and counseling to ensure safety while preserving mental health stability. The FDA has announced a recall for thousands of bottles of the antidepressant duloxetine, sold under brand names like Cymbalta, due to the presence of a chemical that can potentially cause cancer. https://t.co/XeKh5pfZI0 — TODAY (@TODAYshow) October 26, 2024 Historical Context and Safety Measures Recalls for nitrosamine impurities are not unprecedented. Concerns with these elements often stem from production and storage conditions, leading to heightened scrutiny in drug manufacturing processes. The FDA continues to guide manufacturers towards more stringent quality control to prevent such chemical contaminations, promoting consumer safety and trust. “Nitrosamine impurities may increase the risk of cancer if people are exposed to them above acceptable levels and over long periods of time, but a person taking a drug that contains nitrosamines at-or-below the acceptable daily intake limits every day for 70 years is not expected to have an increased risk of cancer.” Sources: Cymbalta recall.
