2/2 The move, which has not been previously reported, has raised concerns among current + former officials that information about the vaccine’s benefits is being downplayed because they conflict with the views of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has been an outspoken critic of the shots.

SCOOP: Two weeks ago, the head of the CDC delayed publication of a report showing covid vaccine cut likelihood of ER visits and hospitalizations by half. Now that report is no longer allowed to be published in CDC’s flagship scientific journal. My latest. 1/2 www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

BREAKING NYT: The FBI began investigating a New York Times reporter last month after she wrote about Kash Patel using bureau personnel to provide his girlfriend with government security and transportation, according to a person briefed on the matter.

Very satisfying. Especially the crickets at the end.

House Judiciary Dems will soon launch an investigation on this. Stay tuned.

The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.

Joe Rogan is standing directly behind Trump in the Oval Office

Exactly one year ago today:

Trump: "Millions of American small businesses, including corner stores. What is a corner store? I've never heard that term. I know what a corner store is but I've never heard it described-- a corner store. Who the hell wrote that?"

"There is no justification for a regressive system in which the super-rich contribute less than the rest of us," write @josephestiglitz.bsky.social, @gabrielzucman.bsky.social, and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social.

Good. That's what should be being done.

Ossoff: "Iran's ballistic missiles and drones are not destroyed. The regime is intact, along with its ability to throttle the global energy supply. Along with its stockpile of highly enriched uranium, which it only assembled after Donald Trump shredded President Obama's Iran deal."

With 37% of the vote in, the Hungarian opposition is on the verge of winning the 2/3 supermajority in the legislature to overturn Orban's changes to the constitution. They need 133 seats for a supermajority. They're currently projected for 132. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Best response to this: Next Dem controlled Congress ratifies the Rome Statute.

I talked to numerous people in Newtown. They were surprised to hear Trump condemn Alex Jones for his Sandy Hook denial, because they expressly asked Trump to disavow this in 2017 during his first term and he refused. I've got quotes from them and the backstory here: newrepublic.com/article/2089...

Elon Musk is either a credulous dope or a cynical propagandistic liar, episode 45,208: The chart being complained about here by a Daily Wire liar was clearly marked as being sourced from the internet, and students were asked to critically assess its accuracy, not imbibe it as truth.

That chryon is giving Baghdad Bob vibes.

Literally Reagan did this WHILE ISRAEL WAS BOMBING AND OCCUPYING SOUTHERN LEBANON. He picked up the phone and demanded they stop.

Iran has told Pakistan mediators that it will officially withdraw from ceasefire. Hormuz is now shut back down. Iran and Hezbollah will respond to Israeli aggression on Lebanon, with Yemen & Iraq now joining in the response saying they will not commit to a ceasefire that doesnt include Lebanon.

Two hours apart

Love that Corgi 🤣🐶

President Donald Trump said he’d agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Iran, less than two hours before his 8 p.m. deadline to destroy a “whole civilization.” Trump said the ceasefire agreement was made on the condition that Iran agree to reopen the critical Strait of Hormuz. https://cnn.it/4bZr5yA

Very happy and relieved it’s TACO Tuesday. Even if it lasts for one night the last month has been horrible. Thank you for all the support in the replies below.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran's Supreme National Security Council says it has accepted a two-week ceasefire in the war.

Seriously

Yes, should not lose sight of the hideous nature of the regime in Iran and the civilian death toll they would inflict (even though a lot of us are focused on Trump’s poor strategy because he started this)
