There's a wrong way and a right way to report this

"Asceda -- well, let's see how we say that. Ascenem -- enophin...hmm, that's not it. Acedermeeferfin...meeferfin? Hey, how do you say this? Asceda what? Well, you know what, who cares? It's gone now!" -- Person who knows better than scientists

"I’ve worked for this health department for about 18 years, and we’ve never seen a case of measles that I know of up until this point. We are just at that low rate of (vaccine) uptake that does leave us open for this kind of an outbreak.” www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

As the brother of an autistic American, as a person who worked on US scientific integrity policy at the White House, and as human being, I'm boiling at the RFK idiocy. And though I have little to offer beyond surpassing rage and national shame, I did smile at this statement from NYU's Arthur Caplan:

"GSA’s Public Buildings Service is giving laid-off employees the option to return to their jobs, after sending them reduction-in-force notices earlier this year." 🙄

Target: ACQUIRED. This is Tom Foolery and he's available for adoption in South Burlington, VT! He's very sweet and loves people ,but he's prone to overstimulation so he will need a cat-savvy adopter who understands kitty body language. www.hsccvt.org/Cats#sl_embe...

#Kitten report! Recap: stray had four kittens under our back deck. After about 5 days, they disappeared but mama would come eat daily. After about 8 weeks, she brought them back. We have been trying to catch them so we can foster them. We finally caught one tonight! Meet Ripley 🐈 #cats #foster

NEW: SCOTUS majority says Trump can ignore precedent if the majority doesn't like it. A 90-year-old precedent meant nothing to the majority allowing Trump to fire an FTC commissioner during litigation. This is no way to run a court, let alone a country. Tonight, at Law Dork:

FYI: You can watch Jimmy Kimmel on YouTube. That’s the ONLY way I’ve been watching him for several years. DO NOT REUP with Disney/Hulu/ABC! These companies need to be broken up OR in the failure of our govt to do that, be forced by the public to sell their excesses to financially survive!

Not a denial

Trump hyped a huge autism announcement for months then followed through today with a press conference where his brain leaked out of his ears for an hour while he couldn't pronounce "acetaminophen" and yelled "DON'T TAKE ASPIRIN" over and over. Congratulations, America.

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

We believe Valentino was abandoned at the feral colony early one morning, we’re really glad we spotted him and got him inside before he possibly disappeared ❤️‍🩹🐾 What a lovely cat, we nearly adopted him!! 😍 #siamesecat #polydactylcat #catrescue #catmanchris #cats

Q: The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists put out a statement saying 'acetaminophen remains a safe option for pain relief during pregnancy.' That's at odds with you TRUMP: That's the establishment. They're funded by lots of different groups. And you know what? Maybe they're right.

Call me old fashioned, but aren’t both parts of this relationship currently, uh, married to other people?

Trump wraps up his batshit news conference by again insisting "DON'T TAKE TYLENOL!"

Trump: "I think it has -- I think it's very bad. They're pumping, it looks like they're pumping into a horse. You have a little child, a little fragile child, and you get a vat of 80 different vaccines, I guess. 80 different blends. And they pump it in. So ideally, a woman won't take Tylenol."

Their tough guy act sure seems to disappear anytime the rest of us stick together and tell them to get fucked.

Insiders spill behind-the-scenes horror stories about Kristi Noem's DHS

Trump: "I'm going to be reducing drug prices by 1,000%. By 900, 600, 500, 1,200 ... "

Trump: "The MMR I think should be taken separately. This is based on what I feel."

Tylenol use is safe in pregnancy, lowest effective dose. Don’t listen to the utter nonsense emanating from the highest office in the land today. Speak to your medical provider.

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

Trump: "Hepatitis B again, that's sexually transmitted, and I think you should wait until12. You know, I'm making these statements from me. I'm not making them from these doctors ... I talk about a lot of common sense."

A reorganization at EPA is sparking fears of "political interference."

This is Rubicon crossed. Never has elected official or appointee interfered with drug oversight like this. It has implications for public health, national security, and economic implications. They’re not good. You can’t invest in something when you think FDA is drafting policy from tweets.

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

Trump: "We've got a lot of stupid people in this country running things."

Kinda surprised Trump didn’t say autism is caused by evil spirits but that RFK, Jr. will do a ritual dance and chase them all away…

Trump is aggressively ignorant. He does not learn, actively resists it, and has surrounded himself with people who enable his stupidity.

Trump: "Taking Tylenol is, uh, not good. I'll say it. It's not good."

sorry, but i'm skeptical this guy is making a good faith effort to figure out autism

I've just been reminded that @alleycatallies.bsky.social has a Community Resource Tool on their site, so I'll share that in case anyone needs it. You can plug in your location or zip code and see some suggestions for community cat resources near you: gethelp.alleycat.org

Trade deals coming along nicely. 🇧🇷

Please visit squirrelwood.org to see the formal statement from Squirrelwood & The Hudson Valley SPCA. We will be the future of what humane care and shelter looks like. You helped make this possible. It will be a large task to build out this property to accept their small animal population.

Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, but RFK Jr. And his cronies cause stupidity.

‘60 Minutes’ Staff Wants to Get Back to Stories After Season of Tumult Good luck with that… variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Trump is now 30 minutes late for his much-hyped autism event, which leaves me wondering if RFK Jr is pumping Grok as I type this in a desperate attempt to get to the bottom of it

I just met these sweet kittens at the Petsmart in Waldorf, MD (note the paws touching!). 
They were rescued by

They need a home in the DC area if anyone can offer one. #cats

Q: Would the president like to see Congress pass a national holiday honoring Charlie Kirk annually? LEAVITT: I'm sure he wouldn't oppose such a thing

Stephen Miller is the slimiest piece of slime to emerge from MAGA world, and there may not be a close second.

"It wasn’t difficult to see that the right’s commitment to free expression was lightly held, to say the least. But in the wake of Kirk’s murder, they're initiating a crackdown on the speech of their opponents so sweeping that it’s hard not to conclude they were just waiting for the opportunity."
