Trump -11 on immigration now despite every single enlightened centrist intellectual saying Dems should not talk about it because surely public opinion can’t ever change!!

In 1943, during World War II, statistician Abraham Ward published a groundbreaking study on relieving symptoms of inflammation in planes. He illustrates his insight with a famous diagram showing exactly where planes experienced inflammation, and the efficacy of acetaminophen in treating it.

this country man

"33" was probably one of the most stressful hours of tv lol

I know we've worked hard to move history ed away from names and dates but I think we might need to swing back to chronology a bit because "who was president on january 8 2021?" and "which came first, the clinical description of autism or tylenol?" shouldn't be this hard, especially for reporters.

Woods Ervin of Critical Resistance notes the Legislative Analyst’s Office found California could close five more prisons—saving $1.5B a year. That money could fund Medi-Cal, food aid, housing, and other vital programs. Check out my latest @therealnews.com therealnews.com/prisons-clos...

Gonna just say, if it's this easy to protest against the monolith that is Disney. Then there is no excuse for people to be clinging to Harry Potter. Like, if the needle can be moved against Disney, people can make it move against JK Rowling. Stop the flow of money into her accounts,

Alameda County Public Defender says ICE courthouse raids ‘must stop immediately’ trib.al/fXqallh

lol rfk making the face of a man who just gave the president 10 pages of perfectly crafted pseudoscience bullet points making it sound like there are real medical studies that support his fever dream theories and instead gets a rant from a guy who has clearly never seen how much babies pee

Smdh at Sinclair. THIS is exactly why so many of us have for years and decades spoken up against media consolidation.

It's impossible to overstate how problematic it is for the White House to demand payouts or company stakes in the course of approving deals, hand-selecting acquirers, demanding corporate compliance or anything else.

The NYT liveblog on the autism press conference is a fascinating read -- largely because it's written by health reporters and not political reporters. Look at how direct and appropriately shocked these posts are! www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

My grandfather died in 2014, about a month shy of his 99th birthday, and looked *dramatically* younger than Emil Bove. Gonna go out on a limb and say that he probably still does.

Kamala Harris on MSNBC now saying she “always believed titans of industry” would be guardrails for democracy but now—shocker—she reports that turns out they’re not. Only, she still’s waiting! “At some point they’ve got to stand up.” This kind of willful naïveté & denial doesn’t need airtime.

just want to add how fkn exhausting men can be in any role where you are used to a woman

Day 35 of trying to be hired by Andrew Cuomo

it's not your imagination, the box office today sux

and this is why a boycott can't be a blip

This is exactly what a baby trying to convince his doctor not to give him a shot would say.

Do you understand that a huge portion of the wellness podcaster and influencer community is now going to be paid to push folic acid as a treatment for autism despite no actual evidence for it. This is a windfall for the supplements industry. It's all a grift.

So many crazy details in Ben Terris's story about Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski, who we can confirm are not only dating but running DHS together: nymag.com/intelligence...

Cuba has generic acetaminophen available in stores (that's what Tylenol is)

Tylenol a bridge too far?

Sunday: Bay Bridge 22.7mi group ride + hangs at Armistice Brewing after! Lyft is going to drop off a few unlocked ebikes, so bring a friend who could benefit (or take the opportunity to ride nice and easy) bikeeastbay.org/event/2025-g...

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

Man the Olivia Nuzzi thing is just wild to me. It's the most blatant, theatrical example you could ever ask for of elite immunity from consequences ... but when I look on social media, all I see is people I thought I respected cheering her on.

i have always found great cars fascinating as feats of engineering and design, spent countless hours in racing sims, and even enjoyed the actual act of driving sometimes but driving is not something so many of us are meant to be doing as often as we are doing it, and it's preventing better things

NEW: AG Bondi has — at Donald Trump’s urging — appointed the president’s former personal lawyer as a top federal prosecutor. Trump urged this move on Saturday as a precursor to leveling criminal charges against political rivals like Comey. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Todays decision is a good illustration of Howell and Moe's argument IMO. SCOTUS allowed Trump to remove the sole Dem member of the FTC, despite 90 years of precedent and the clear intent of Congress. It is one more example of a court enabling a strongman presidency. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Trump's numbers are collapsing across the board and yet these guys are racing to tell us who we need to throw overboard to win white independents

Learning about Tom McDonald and being a white supremacist rapper is smoking me. Nah man if the message is in the music that’s fine but you gotta stand on business and yodel.

As I understand history, the way FDR campaigned and governed was pretty consistently hammering the shit out of the opposition party. He didn’t build his coalition with olive branches to the money trusts. www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/ad...

One subplot here is how the Supreme Court, at times unanimously, has repeatedly blocked attempts to fight corruption. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/o...

This is horrible news: When I look for informative reporting on politics and elections in Washington state, most of what I find and learn from is from Crosscut/Cascade PBS. This will leave a huge void.

Tomorrow is also a Spare the Air Day in the Bay Area! Take transit instead of driving and help reduce pollution.

Notice how transit and walkable cities are "hostile" to cars but car-dependent sprawl is never once deemed "hostile" to people.

it was very easy to see a future of "trump can fire everyone in the government via unexplained shadow docket decisions but the second a dem enters office all of trump's appointees are protected by humphrey's executor" if it's already functionally overturned for trump, make it explicit

my hot take on the humphrey's executor news is that it's probably good to get them on the record with formally overturning it it's obviously a terrible decision in the making but at least this way the next dem president can fire everyone he's appointed immediately

disney gets the target treatment

to be more specific, although FDR had to play ball with southern segregationists in congress, he did not do so by sacrificing black voters in the urban north to their whims.

They rush when they want to rush and they slow walk when they want to slow walk and it’s an ideological decision always in either direction.

when she's a ten but she's not autistic

Under pressure from Texas government officials, Angelo State University in Texas is banning all discussion or mention of the existence of trans people along with banning the LGBTQ pride flag from campus and forced misgendering of trans people. conchoobserver.com/2025/09/19/a...

genuinely crazy to me how unitary executive advocates read the vesting clause as granting a huge scope of essentially royal "inherent" powers. one would think that if the framers intended to give the president royal authority, they would have just said so.
