RFK Jr had committed to Bill Cassidy, as a condition to win his vote, that he would keep website language. Cassidy in February: “If confirmed… CDC will not remove statements on their website pointing out that vaccines do not cause autism.” Note the language in second photo.

I know we know, but I still have a hard time coming to terms with the fact the United States no longer has a unified, reliable source of scientific and medical information. We all live in their “do your own research” hell now.

Always defer to the WHO over the CDC from here on out.

Massie was crucial to forging the Epstein bill coalition. What he's saying here -- that Epstein had CIA and Mossad ties -- is supported by reporting, notably the excellent series at Drop Site on Epstein's as an international power broker. The mainstream media has almost entirely ignored this topic.

How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, there’s not even a plausible mechanism based on what we’ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy

1. Texas A&M has voted that Professors must seek out official permission to talk about trans people, sexuality, or race. One of the professors said that the new policy would make routine lessons on things like the Holocaust impossible. Subscribe to support our journalism.

The UK is considering a policy that would effectively segregate trans people from society. It would bar trans people from "single sex spaces" even when they use the facility of their sex assigned at birth. This is a full on policy of segregation without even the benefit of separate facilities.

oh my god i take it back, grok is amazing

SCOOP — A former staffer for Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), Natalie Green, 26, was charged today for falsely reporting she was attacked by 3 men who wrote "TRUMP WHORE" on her stomach bc of her job. It was staged by her + a friend. Van Drew isn't named in the complaint but I've confirmed w/ his office.

I haven’t felt out the mood on this, so forgive me if we’re doing the “she needs help” routine, but I want more of these conservatives who revel in imaginary victimhood to end up as publicly outed pariahs.

The Weberian argument for bureaucratic vs charismatic governance is not at heart about the idea of using a state to accomplish humanitarian policy goals but about _prevention of corruption_

“Ozymandias, now there’s a name…they say he’s always been remembered folks, they’ve never forgotten him. More and more people are looking on his works and despairing!”

HOLY SHIT. Unusual Whales has been mentioned BY NAME in the US Congressional hearing on getting US Congress banned from stock trading. "Get on that Unusual Whales site...this is pathetic folks, we all know what is going on [on stock trading]" Said by Rep Tim Burchett!

My “my 17 references to George Soros aren’t political” footnote is raising a lot of questions answered by my footnote.

Absolutely unhinged. The opposite — in almost every case — of what the “free speech warriors” claimed they wanted. It was always, as it so often is, just about control.

Musk's "time away from politics" involved having Republicans completely revamp the 2021 infrastructure bill so that a huge swath of the $42.5 billion in taxpayer broadband grants are funneled to his company (and away from better options) in exchange for satellite service he already planned to offer

NEW: a contractor is paying random people $300 to physically track immigrants for ICE. They're given addresses, vehicles, told to monitor the target. That information then goes back up to ICE. These are not licensed private investigators; members of the public www.404media.co/contractor-p...

Massie's prediction that the Administration would use the bogus Trump-directed "investigations" of Bill Clinton and Reid Hoffman as an excuse to continue blocking release of the Epstein files, on the spurious grounds that it's an ongoing investigation, is looking pretty good here

wrote about the president’s flagrant and destructive corruption in a column that references street fighter, the simpsons, machiavelli, and a host of revolutionary-era americans (gift link)

God whatever is in those files about Trump must be awful. The more roadblocks they throw up, the more even their fans are like "why the hell are you fighting this so hard"

I love the Dropkick Murphys because "Irish-American" + "gen X" + "punk rocker who's been at it for 30 years" should be the formula for the most racist guy alive but instead Ken Casey is constantly giving interviews where he's like "fascists are demons from hell and that's where they belong"

Protectors to abusers: Here is the landing page for @ericferk.bsky.social and I's investigative reporting on a pattern of alleged sex abuse at the Canadian County Sheriff's Office in three stories tulsaworld.com/news/nation-...

Charlie Kirk was a tool. I mean that literally. He was useful to the American right for organizing and propaganda, then they thought they could use his death to silence and persecute people they don't like, which worked a bit but fizzled, and then he was no longer of use to them so they moved on.

one thing about this is that in the wake of all of this kirk is basically forgotten. he was barely cold in the ground before his allies — before his *wife* — started scheming over what they could take for themselves. a real life parable.

His entire wealth is supported by a self-driving fraud that has killed tens of Americans, on top of countless other crimes. He is the face of the elite impunity that is destroying this country. His freedom is one of the most important political issues of our time.

my wife and her entire team were fired over Zoom from their program manager jobs at a local nonprofit Seattle hospital this Spring because Trump just stopped paying Medicaid reimbursements. and this is a relatively affluent urban center we're really not prepared for what's coming

There’s one person squarely to blame for Trump’s corruption, authoritarianism & assault on democracy: John Roberts. He’s enabled so much of Trump’s lawlessness while somehow escaping accountability for it New cover story from @pemalevy.bsky.social & me www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Reminder that Mike Johnson said God woke him up in the middle of the night to tell him he was going to be Speaker of the House, but I guess in his wisdom the Lord forgot to say "Oh also, you're going to completely suck at it"

And lest you think I'm joking about Johnson saying God told him he would be speaker, here are the details: www.mediaite.com/media/news/m...

We are at a point where state and local police are repeatedly investigating federal law enforcement for systemically illegal behavior. To the point that even CBS News has to note that pretty high up in the article. A truly bad sign, at least in the short run (hoping prompts real change in future).

From the people who brought you the financial crisis, Theranos, and Juicero: say hello to data center financial engineering! I'm pretty nervous about this ending badly, but everyone's dug in because AI is the only pulse in the economy. prospect.org/2025/11/19/a...

Feels important that a top Trump pollster and the president of *checks* 'Americans for a Balanced Budget' are urging Republicans to save the enhanced Obamacare subsidies and "reverse this health care tax hike before it is too late"

this sounds like a great idea. luckily there are no extremely serious consequences to providing false information to the Internal Revenue Service

Nooooope

These people aren't just regressive, they are anti-Constituion. She has no authority to do this.

Plutocrats and accommodationists. They put profits and power over decency. This meal is tainted by murder, grift, and corruption.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

Greg Bovino is leading a rebel cavalry terrorizing America—and it's important to recognize that it's in retreat. While the trauma and terror Bovino’s raiders instill is real and damaging, it’s remarkable to note how ineffective the force has turned out to be. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/trump-bord...

"they used several methods to find people who were attempting to solicit a 17-year-old girl for sex" OF COURSE IT'S PEDOCON THEORY

Trump appointed Harmeet Dhillon to the Justice Department so she could own the libs and sue DEI out of existence. But she is a bad lawyer! And her utter incompetence is the main reason why a conservative Trump judge just struck down the racist Texas gerrymander. slate.com/news-and-pol...

AOC: Should this AI bubble pop, we should not be entertaining a bailout of these corporations while healthcare is being denied to Americans and SNAP is being denied to Americans —

AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

Whatever your faith persuasion, or even if you have none at all, I promise this interview goes hard.

NEW: US airlines (Delta, United, American, etc) will shut down a program in which it sold hundreds of millions of your flight records to government agencies, including ICE, FBI, ATF, more. Comes after intense lawmaker-pressure and 404 Media's months-long reporting www.404media.co/airlines-wil...

i will kind of accept this from some random person who barely pays attention. ben shapiro though? he's just lying

"A man pardoned by President Donald Trump for storming the Capitol was arrested on child molestation charges, according to Florida officials, who said he tried to use an anticipated Jan. 6 payout to silence the victim." www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

whatever the line of defense is on this for Trump it’s not Congress.
