US vetted stars' politics to showcase Trump virus response

Read full article: US vetted stars' politics to showcase Trump virus response

Director Judd Apatow believes Trump “does not have the intellectual capacity to run as president,” according to a list of more than 200 celebrities compiled by one of the firms. “I have ordered a strategic review of this public health education campaign that will be led by our top public health and communications experts to determine whether the campaign serves important public health purposes,” Azar told the subcommittee, which is investigating the federal government’s response to the coronavirus outbreak. Because public health policy around the coronavirus pandemic has become so politically polarized, it’s unclear how well a confidence-building campaign from the government would play. And Trump has alienated much of the medical establishment with his dismissive comments about basic public health measures, such as wearing masks. Antony and Quaid were among just a few celebrities who were approved for the campaign, according to the documents.

LYNCHBURG, Va. – This week, 10 News aired a story about Dennis Quaid adopting a cat named Dennis Quaid from the Lynchburg Humane Society. [‘I just couldn’t resist’: Actor Dennis Quaid is adopting a Lynchburg shelter cat named Dennis Quaid]It has since gone viral, being picked up by Entertainment Weekly, Us Weekly and People. Many of you have asked: How did Dennis the cat get the name in the first place?
