a million and one reasons to be furious about the autism/tylenol press conference but telling pregnant women they should really really "tough it out" rather than get pain relief is the one that's ... wow it makes me mad

Now is absolutely the time to introduce articles of impeachment for RFK Jr., this is so fucking batshit I can't take it anymore.

They're really going with the "Amish people aren't autistic" argument, which is extremely close to "if we stop testing for covid, then covid doesn't exist."

If you are anywhere at HHS who has any info on how this bullshit has gone down please reach out, Signal is davelevitan.26 and you can remain anonymous

Trump: FDA will be updating label of existing drug

He wants doctors to decide when women are allowed to take a safe and effective pain reliever in pregnancy? Doctors are all in agreement it's fucking safe to take! This is infuriating nonsense. Are they going to jail us if we take a fucking Tylenol?

You thought it was a joke?!?! Fuck no!this is real!

Disney has backed down, but there's no evidence that Sinclair or Nexstar have learned their lesson. If you haven't already done so, check the links in the thread below for stations in your area. Find the advertisers and let them know you're boycotting them until they remove ads from these stations.

I think the pundits who are like you gotta run anti-choice, transphobe democrats to widen the tent are insane like my tent already includes Bill fucking Kristol at this point, it can't get any bigger.

BREAKING: Our opposition and upset over Jimmy Kimmel being taken off air have led to Kimmel coming back. Let's organize that much noise for reporters like Mario Guevara detained (despite being here legally) for filming police & ICE:

So many coverups. Release the Epstein files. Release the Homan tapes. Release the Venezuelan fishing boats evidence.

Sounds like the segregationists in Connecticut are having a grand ole time “While waiting for the police to arrive, the old Karen’s friend said, ‘You’re not the minority anymore.'” www.blackenterprise.com/alex-okeefe-...

If you haven’t seen this (I hadn’t), you need to:

Everything about this headline is hilarious. And the YouTube views are a reflection of how wildly the right has overblown the number of people paying attention.

She “said that she tried to tell the agents that her baby was due w/in days. 'OK, your baby is going to be born here, but you're from Mexico, right?' they responded. 'I was born here,' López Alvarado later told Spanish-language media. 'I was born in Los Angeles; I was born in Hollywood Hospital.'"

The more I think about it, the crazier it is that the Cubs third baseman skipped a game to go to what was basically a political rally.

This @semafor.com story notes that Republicans "picked a fight over health care in 2013," and "that painful shutdown ended after 16 days." The GOP's image fell to an all-time low. And what happened the next year? The GOP gained 9 Senate seats and 13 House seats www.semafor.com/article/09/2...

shit ain’t over til it’s over

No one is making you be a writer if you can’t do it and also don’t enjoy doing it. If you’re larping a job for clout I’d probably pick surgeon or Nobel prize winning diplomat, stealing valor for from isolated weirdos at their laptops is like shoplifting from the landfill.

Read an article recently about how Miller once got so angry when talking to a reporter about immigration that he started crying.

In response to California passing a law limiting law enforcement officers' ability to conceal their identities, the president of the Peace Officers Research Association of California contends that police are not subject to democratic control. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/u...

the trans music archive has announced a residency for 2 trans bands/artists at their recording studio in NY, plus a $1000 stipend www.transmusicarchive.org/residency

A bit underplayed that the Homan sting didn't reportedly come out of a public corruption investigation, it was a counter-intelligence one. Which means they somehow made the not-very-far leap to him from initially targeting a foreign and almost certainly state actor.

Learn something new every day!

A thing every adult should know is that Dawn soap is the best oil/grease stain remover and you don’t need any other fancy stain remover.

me, when I'm normalizing stuff

When those ghouls bought LA Weekly they bought it for like only $2 million. When I heard the figure, I was like Jesus Christ that’s fucking pennies.

I still think the best idea for progressive donors is to just revive every alt-weekly in the country and staff them with 10 reporters each.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Madison Square Garden, 1939:

Setting aside the obvious (vaccines), Jesus Christ how many times has this man had covid? I’ve had it once, maybe twice. That many reinfections is like really bad!

I keep telling my boy cat that his balls got raptured to heaven cuz they were too perfect for this world and I think he bought it.

“Pelayo said her dad described being held in a room with at least 150 other men as ICE officers constantly yell at them and call them slurs. He also told his daughters detainees are only given food and water based on good behavior.” These are the conditions at the site of yesterday’s protest.

Charlie Kirk Sept 27 2024: "Just so we're clear, the Haitians that are in Huntsville that are raping your women and hunting you down at night - it's only gonna get worse - unless Donald Trump wins There will be hundreds of thousands of Haitians brought into Alabama and they will become your masters"

This was somehow a flash in the pan headline in all the chaos last week, but throwing out there that at this rate this would be in the vicinity of 50k people vanishing from the face of the earth over the remainder of the term. And this is before they use that newly allocated $75B to fully scale up.

Multiple people have been shot at the Sky Meadow Country Club in Nashua, New Hampshire, according to the city's police department. Read more: https://cnn.it/46Mn3qG

The hand makeup looks AWFUL but imagine trying to match this dude’s skin tone.

Post now deleted, more or less confirming it was a DM. Great opsec!

this charlie kirk deification is some of the weirdest shit i have ever seen

Hey, all my fellow film critics, don’t sleep on LISTERS: A GLIMPSE INTO EXTREME BIRDWATCHING. This is can-do, stick to it, DIY filmmaking at its best. And it won’t get enough attention because it’s uploaded to YouTube, not in any theaters or on some big streaming service.

As usual with this issue, Harris is calling for a compromise that already exists. Every sporting body has standards for how long athletes must be on hormones before they can compete as women. The problem isn’t that we’re ignoring ‘reasonable concerns,’ the problem is that republicans are lying.

Media execs have fallen prey to a propaganda and harassment campaign that has completely divorced them from what people actually want right now. Both their insular information environments (group chats, podcasts) and ambient noise (Twitter reactionaries) have put them in a very stupid bubble.

And yet in public, on the record…crickets.

entire press has gotten bullied into treating charlie kirk as if he was one of the most important americans alive and not a modestly popular podcaster

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

Crazy how all these “lifelong democrats” popping up happen to follow Curtis Yarvin

I did not get video of about the first 30 seconds of this interaction, during which the resident asked if he was being detained (he was not) and if there was a warrant for him. The Black Rifle Coffee Shirt Guy only told him he "fit exactly the description of the problem we're here to address".

Thank you @gomez.house.gov for voting no

This woman is incredible. The way she just holds up the peace sign while that armed thug is trying to choke her out.

I feel like we’re owed a minute-by-minute replay of everything that led to pulling that tribute to air celebrity family feud instead. Panicked editors cutting around racist sound bites, Frankensteining a coherent ideology that doesn’t reveal too much. I need to know about those final screenings!
