2 new MAHA-approved bills would force insurance companies to cover supplements and shield homeopathic manufacturers from liability while allowing them to make more health claims. This is what Kennedy has always been aiming for. www.conspirituality.net/episodes/brief-maha-is-a-supplements-grift

“We’ve fought so hard to protect our community, but they want to experiment on us. We are guinea pigs. When you are autistic, like me, and a mother to autistic children, I see this as a way to end us. That's what it is.” autism activist Fiona O'Leary www.wired.com/story/rfk-jr...

More than half the drugs on the TrumpRx site have a cheaper generic version on the market. Pristiq, an antidepressant, is available with a TrumpRx coupon for ~$200 for a 30-day supply. A generic version is on GoodRx for less than $30 and Mark Cuban's CostPlusDrugs for $16.65.

Joked about it being powered by coal when this was first announced. Now, it looks like the joke's on us.

Watters: I was walking in my street, a car drives by and I give him a wave. He rolls down the window and says, “F U fascist.” He doesn’t know I’m a fascist! Jessica: Yes, he does. You’re on TV.

Increasing autism rates over the last 25 years may just be kids with mild forms getting diagnosed. Rates of moderate to severe impairment due to autism have actually fallen slightly. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Some of these people are in Europe. Except Salvatore Nuara, a NY detective. Hmmm… #SheShed #trumpIsaPedophile

Representing the American people in the Senate is an honor. Anyone who was convicted of massive fraud against the United States government should be removed from that office.

Turns out one of the benefits of mass deportation is low growth and anemic job creation.

Amazing a whole story about Eddie Bauer filing for bankruptcy can leave out the fact that it was owned by private equity from 2009 to 2021 www.nytimes.com/2026/02/10/b...

how does it not bother investors that Elon Musk never actually delivers the thing if he didn't deliver affordable EVs, the 100% solar-powered Superchargers, the "alien dreadnought" factory, the game-changing solar roof, or L5 self-driving why believe he'll deliver data centers in space or whatever?

Mangu Ward is a liar. She fired Shikha Dalmia for being too anti-Trump for Reason donors. As recently as December, she appeared at a TPUSA event along JD Vance, Erika Kirk, Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, Don Trump Jr, Jesse Watters, Ben Shapiro, Jack Posobiec, Tom Homan, Roger Stone and James O'Keefe

Thanks to ProPublica for citing my prior @texasobserver.org report in their story about how an "election fraud" researcher who is a convicted bathroom voyeur may be fueling the federal government's investigations

If the current moment has taught us anything, it is about the uselessness of libertarianism. The image sums it up perfectly. The Gadsden flag was all out during the Obama era. How often do you see it now? Most of the principled libertarians were happy to trad their principles for Trumpism.

When I worked for Reason magazine during Trump's rise to power in 2016, I was explicitly forbidden by the editor in chief from writing about Trump's racism, or the violence and racism at his rallies. It was a "sideshow," I was told.

Well, that must suck. Just walking down the street, minding your own business, and you get snatched up by armed thugs.

Last week the far right started peddling a narrative that the outrage over Epstein is a moral panic. Today, like clockwork, a more polite version of that narrative appears in the Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Worth noting though that this reinforces levels of Russian economic dependency on China that are drawing Moscow as a firmly subordinate actor into Beijing's sphere of influence

I’ve noticed media will talk about anyone in the Epstein files other than the one guy other than Epstein who appears in the files the most. That’s called Obey in Advance

Jeffrey Epstein died on August 10th. In the Epstein files, there is what appears to be a draft DOJ press release announcing his death that is dated August 9th. (It’s here: www.justice.gov/epstein/file...)

The Trump effect.

In March 2025, the FBI discusses internally Pam Bondi’s “clear and specific guidance" to redact images of "former U.S. Presidents, Secretary of State, and other celebrities."

Everyone talks about the Schmitt-ian basis for Trump/MAGA and the crisis they have foisted on us, but this from @mattpolprof.bsky.social does it so well: jacobin.com/2026/02/mann...

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

Mmm hmm

Trust me, the woman of academia are not at all surprised by the number of academic men orbiting Epstein.

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

All over. Who's funding this?

And the trend goes both ways, by the way. The US government is telling Americans to hate Europeans and Canadians. And many have dutifully changed their opinions.

There seems to be a not insignificant number of people in the Epstein Files who hold prominent positions at colleges. Yet, there’s no uproar over what these elites are teaching students. Or how many of them overlook sexual assault on their own campuses.

This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

From @acyn.bsky.social (posted on X) "Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal? Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail… Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you. Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake."

Let's check in on the Twitter Files guy -- who insisted that the behind the scenes decision-making on content moderation was the most important issue of our time -- and see what he thinks about the publication of communications involving the most notorious sex predator of our generation.

BREAKING: New reaction from Leader Jeffries to the racist Trump video: "This disgusting video posted by the so-called president was done intentionally. Fuck Donald Trump and his vile, racist, and malignant behavior. This guy is an unhinged bottom feeder."

This is a remarkable @nytimes.com split screen: A huge 3,526 word + photos profile on Sen Britt who "can't stop thinking about the boy ICE detained" But Rep Jaoquin Castro- who actually got Liam Ramos out of detention & back home- gets no interview, no pix, just 116 words inside a story. WOW.

kind of amazing to think that there are people who wake up in the morning, get mad at a fox news post and then send this stuff

Really though, most of the right love being told what to do by people they perceive as correctly powerful. They can not comprehend of the idea of working together with friends and neighbors to create a system and share information in order to protect each other. Their brains can't do it.

Epstein had many known connections to Silicon Valley CEOs, but less known was how he made money from those relationships. We did a deep dive into how he got dealflow in Silicon Valley, giving him shots to invest in Coinbase, Palantir, SpaceX and other companies. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/b...

As @jeffsharlet.bsky.social documented in The Family, honoring brutal right wing dictators from around the world has been a National Prayer Breakfast tradition since the 1980s.

404 Media is watching ICE grow from an already horrifying organization into a deportation force that is better funded than most militaries. It's why we made a zine about the surveillance technologies used by ICE. To support our continued work: www.404media.co/membership/
