There are lots of cultists who actually believe Trump’s lie that he’s deploying the military because he wants to stop crime.

So not RFk jr and Trump? 🤔

This is jawdropping. The idea that a state about to be invaded by out-of-state soldiers that Trump is moving around the nation like chess pieces has no standing to object to the invasion!

Trump pushed out the federal prosecutor who refused to bring charges against James Comey, then installed someone who would. Former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance details how the Comey indictment reflects the flawed process that produced it. bit.ly/46TyPOR

“Is it that the Chief Justice doesn’t accept that the Court is losing credibility on a daily basis; that he thinks the Court doesn’t need that credibility in order to fulfill its intended role in our constitutional system; or that he doesn’t care?” Me on John Roberts as his Court turns 20 today:

What the heck?

Former FBI Deputy Director McCabe says he hasn't been contacted "at all" by the FBI about Comey and adds, "if my interactions with Comey was gonna be the basis of this entire prosecution, it's unbelievable that prosecutors wouldn't at least want to sit down and hear what I have to say about it."

Dear Donald Trump - why can’t you be more like Sarkozy? Have conviction, please.

(CNBC) - Seasonal hiring in the retail industry is poised to fall to its lowest level since the 2009 recession, an early warning sign that the holiday shopping season could be softer than expected .. @cnbc.com www.cnbc.com/2025/09/24/s...

I spoke extensively with the Crimson reporter. She understood the strength of the evidence, and it shows. Odds ratios can be eye-glazing, but let's just say that when 2.5 million kids are studied, and it's still not possible to detect added risk from taking acetaminophen...there's no added risk.

I didn't know about the $150,000 consulting fee. I'm not 100% sure that is damning per se. However, I would fault him for misinterpreting great studies (Ahlqvist et al., 2024, Liew et al., 2016) and giving equal credence to studies with as few as 215 subjects (seriously, go look at Table 2). /end

...actually did that control. They compared kids with their siblings, thus removing familial confounds. After that, the risk ratio was 0.98. In other words, a 2% decreased risk (but that's nominal - in fact it's not significant). And here is their article for you! drive.google.com/file/d/1RWz3...

Baccarelli admit that they can't rule out that "...there is, as always, a possibility for residual confounding." For example, an example of a confounding factor would be: what if moms who take Tylenol had a preexisting risk factor that was why they took Tylenol in the first place? Ahlqvist...

Let's look at Dean Baccarelli's best evidence for Tylenol->ASD. Here it is, a meta-analysis of 8 studies. But they appear to misstate the conclusion of the largest study, of 2.5 *million* kids by Ahlqvist. Baccarelli shows a risk ratio of 1.05 (5% increased risk)... drive.google.com/file/d/1slm2...

Controlled for things like correlated factors, some % increases in risk. These are all fairly small compared with genetics - but they are things we can control, so we care. The lowest measurable risk? older parenthood, ratio=1.3 to 1.4. Pretty small. Guess where Tylenol would be? IT WOULDN'T BE.

Here's the key chart from that piece. Note what's on here with significant risk: genetic inheritance (twin on autism spectrum, sibling), third trimester stress, and factors that can affect maternal/paternal DNA. What doesn't carry risk? SSRIs. Sonograms. And vaccination. All very well tested.

Big difference - nay, MASSIVE DIFFERENCE - it was Trump himsrlf and his entire batch of MAGAs now in actual power who were claiming this lie to be true, as opposed to a few non-entity fringe loonies some of whom you can’t even verify. These two things are not comparable. Very poor journalism.
