Amazing CNN is not mentioning that age of father is peer reviewed in Nature as autism contributor. Cuba and Amish both are very young first time parents. Cuba 4th youngest parents in the world. I expect Trump not to know this but expect better from @cnn.com @megtirrell.bsky.social #autism

Earlier this year, ProPublica found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% under Texas’ abortion ban. Here’s how we did our analysis. (Published Feb. 2025)

The House Oversight Committee has released the documents it has obtained from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein. This includes a copy of the now infamous birthday book. Documents Here: bit.ly/47tqxPI

Then, when a company like Hyundai opens a mammoth manufacturing plant in Bryan County Ga, with all the suppliers following, they get rewarded with an ICE raid that puts 460 alleged undocumented workers in a detention camp.

Honestly this doesn't concern me as much as DOGE having all our data. At least China won't leave it on an insecure server. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/04/w...

Russia is circulating a meme mocking US soldiers from the Alaska meeting, after they were ordered to roll out a red carpet for Putin: 'US Army in movies vs US Army in real life'.

At any point did anyone stop and think "half the country is anti maga and if we do this we're going to alienate that customer base. Oh and there are a million copycat products people can buy instead."? I have two instant pots and if one dies I'll just move on to another brand.

Just put a pin in this. Mike Johnson..."I think 20 years is a pittance. I think she should serve a life sentence at least." That will be a fun memory when he stands behind Trump at the signing ceremony for her pardon. youtu.be/ywPk42HsqfM?...

i’m not going to accept any statement on the “steep environmental cost” of air conditioning while countries are backtracking on their climate goals to keep powering AI

Everyone who's surprised please raise your hand. Men you can put your hands down now.

Take as an example Dick Durbin's letter revealing that Bondi assigned ONE THOUSAND people to review Epstein files, working 24-hour shifts. This is devastating whistleblower testimony. James Comer builds years long campaigns off less. www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

Texas found $11 billion for troops and razor wire at the border and migrant buses, even with oil-billionaire tax cuts. But its coffers went dry for warning sirens to confront a climate crisis it claims is made up How Texas flood exposed warped priorities. My column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

“The Weather Service’s nearby San Antonio office … had significant vacancies …. “That office’s warning coordination meteorologist left on April 30, after taking the early retirement package the Trump administration used to reduce the number of federal employees.” www.nytimes.com/2025/07/05/u...

GLAAD's response to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in U.S. v. Skrmetti: "Today, the Supreme Court took the place of parents and doctors and stripped away their ability to make private, lifesaving decisions for their children."

So glad these are out there destroying our nations' highways.

More than two years ago, Utah Republicans commissioned a study on gender-affirming care for youth. It just came back, and the conclusion is unambiguous: full recommendation in support of gender-affirming care. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

After the commencement speech, both Obama & Biden shook hands and congratulated each graduate. Trump lied about being busy, then left early and went to play golf. Now, tell me again about how Trump supports veterans & military families. I'm all ears. 🤨

Shower thoughts on White Lotus: Parker Posey is playing Victoria brilliantly. Now that she's off the Lorazepam she's just a little quicker and sharper.

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, our analysis shows. As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

Volodymyr Zelensky's Oval Office visit ended early when Donald Trump and JD Vance began angrily yelling at him. Here's why women like Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton are too emotional to be president.

RFK Jr is either IGNORANT or a LIAR. The two measles deaths — both unvaccinated children — in Texas announced today are actually the FIRST deaths attributed to the disease in the U.S. since 2015.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

And now the denial begins! bonnercountydailybee.com/news/2025/fe... Neither the committee members nor the sheriff seems to have any knowledge of who provided security. So I guess they just showed up and decided to assault citizens as a public service.

I guess assault by unidentified individuals is what we're doing now?

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.

DOGE asked what federal employees did last week. Here’s how I replied.

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk. Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️ thehill.com/media/514849...

Imagine if a woman in leadership was holding a presser and her kid was even there. Never mind toddling around, sitting on her shoulders and talking to POTUS… It would be considered an outrage & she’d be getting dragged every which way for being unprofessional

Powell’s comment just now — “If you fast forward 10 or 15 years, they're going to be regions of the country where you can't get a mortgage ..” — echoes that recent NYT piece on insurance non-renewal rates.

It was always apparent but now it's increasingly undeniable that all these 20-something DOGE employees were chosen not *in spite* of inadequate vetting but *because* they would not pass vetting. Trump & Musk chose the people who seemed the most willing to commit illegal acts on their behalf.
