EXCLUSIVE - Top RFK Jr. ally and adviser Calley Means has quit the Trump administration.
Means was frustrated by White House delays of some of Kennedy’s popular food policies and blamed others in the administration for allowing food companies and special interests to have too much sway, people familiar with the matter said.
One of them described him as “disillusioned.” wsj.com/politics/policy/call…

The land would be used for a road, to give the developer rare private access to the heart of the park.
