New: Amid the CBS News layoffs, Bari Weiss and Tom Cibrowski just announced internally that CBS News Radio will be shuttered after 99 years. Also will affect around 700 affiliated stations.

The Trump Administration attempted to make an example of Minnesota during Operation Metro Surge. Instead, Minnesotans set an example for the rest of the country that decency and compassion will always triumph over fear and division. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

I've organized & will moderate a webinar on the health & policy crisis of ICE detention centers April 30, 1-2pm ET, open to all Register/submit questions at: childandfamilypolicy.duke.edu/blog/event/t... I'd be grateful if you could circulate this Thx to @joshuasweitz.bsky.social for support

Fetterman is the absolute worst. Fuck that guy.

Welp.

A great write-up on brand-new research I was involved in. We used a really different approach from the ones that we & many others have used previously to estimate how many Covid deaths there *really* were--almost 20% more than known. Our results broadly accord w others but add new demographic detail

The amount of antisemitism on this website is growing incredibly fast. Calling Jews “Zionists.” The unrelenting AIPAC obsession. Someone - seemingly a left-winger - just straight-up called me a Jew as a term of derision. There’s something really bad happening here and we need to put a check on it.

TINY ARMS, COOP. THEY LIVE IN A TANK AND BREATHE CINNAMON

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

It's apparently employees of the 24/7 news division, not streaming, who are striking. It's an important distinction because the impact of a 24-hour work stoppage in the 24/7 news division would be much more painful for management than if it happened in streaming. www.tvinsider.com/1252327/cbs-...

In 2021, amid debate over COVID-19’s origin, a viral WeChat post claimed the virus came to China from Maine on frozen lobsters sold at the Wuhan market. Scientists dismissed it—but a new analysis suggests the bizarre claim might hint at missing data China hasn’t released. https://scim.ag/47yG2F6

I forgot how funny the chyrons on Tucker's Fox show would be sometimes

There's a hauntingly beautiful irony in these morons thinking that carefully crafted American hegemony was actually weak and woke, and they would be the ones who would do Power and Dominance properly, and immediately bringing everything crashing down

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

my take on birth rate discourse: If the only way our species can keep going is by forcing the half of the population born with Unlucky Organs into reproductive slavery, we should go extinct, and good riddance

Just so we're all clear, this is a war crime and would be punishable by life or death under U.S. law.

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

Proud to see that the JUSTICE FOR HIND RAJAB ACT has been introduced by Welch and Van Hollen in the Senate as well as by Jacobs and Castro in the House. It demands a full federal accounting and investigation, to be reported to Congress, on the murder of innocent civilians in Gaza by the Israelis.

1. Horrifying ruling out of the 4th Circuit. An all-Republican 4th Circuit panel has just ruled that states can compel trans adults to "appreciate their sex" by enacting care bans. It even directly says that trans adult care bans are legal in the ruling. Subscribe to support our journalism.

NEW: Hundreds of mental health professionals have left the Department of Veterans Affairs since President Donald Trump took office, leaving staff “at a breaking point” and some veterans waiting as long as six months for help.

This is from 1975.

🚨Ethical concerns about the RFK Jr-funded Danish researchers in Guinea-Bissau are mounting by the day @standupforscience.bsky.social sent an investigative reporter to explore—what they found is *very* alarming Great piece by @melodyschreiber.com, including an interview with the mighty Magda Robalo

It is totally valid to criticize a respected scientist for appearing at an antivax crankfest, because the very act of appearing with the likes of Del Bigtree et al elevates them and diminishes the scientist.

Dr. El-Deiry is from Brown Medicine Heme-Onc. Previously very well respected. If I was at a MAHA Massive Epidemic of Vaccine Injury with Brian Hooker my attitude would be along the lines of "You guys are a bunch of fucking freaks! Get rekt, assholes." The fact that he didn't says a lot.

If you can't even manage to wipe the stupid smirk off your face while writing about a war that started with 160 children being bombed in a school, it's time to start thinking about the decisions that led you here.

these kids are making Ferrari money telling people to use their app in order to stop watching porn, but they exposed their most intimate data and then lied to me about it www.404media.co/viral-quittr...

I sometimes worry that too many people think being a good critic means being a self-righteous dick about every little thing and I think far too many miss the point that you can't critique anything if you don't know how to love something.

Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy. We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.

Two terrific #FDA related pieces by @lizzylawrence.bsky.social & @matthewherper.bsky.social. Matt's is a look at lessons to be drawn from Vinay Prasad's chaotic tenure; Lizzy's delves into the FDA's turning away from adcomms. www.statnews.com/2026/03/08/v... & www.statnews.com/2026/03/09/f...

This is an irresponsible, misleading post that misrepresents what Leavitt said. There's enough awful stuff happening. Don't confuse people.

Dropkick Murphys dedicate their performance to "Alex's family and Renee's family." And, "We want to dedicate this to all those people who have suffered at the hands of our own fuckin' government."

Good riddance (again) to Vinay Prasad at the FDA. The only problem is that under this administration we can only expect him to be replaced by someone as bad or worse.

Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."

But because of their suffocating conviction that everything is always Fundamentally Normal, that America is a place where nothing ever really happens or changes, those same people are incapable of recognizing the enormity of what we’re doing, when we’re the ones doing it.

It’s lunacy, madman stuff. We’re just going around killing whoever we feel like, with zero regard for the law OR the consequences! If any other country were doing it our political class would say, probably rightfully, that there was an urgent necessity for their leaders to eat a cruise missile.

Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/

Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0

Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

Secondary outcome is this takes slack-jawed fascist yokel Markwayne Mullins off the HELP Committee, where he will no longer be able to fawn over quacks like Casey Means, who take advantage of his marked & long-established stupidity. www.cnn.com/2026/03/05/p...

in a post-credit scene, Dan Crenshaw appears in Noem's apartment and tells her he's putting a team together

BREAKING: U.S. Central Command is now saying internally that this war against Iran is likely to last through September, per POLITICO

You all say Donald Trump is anti-immigrant, but did you know his wife is an immigrant? *drops mic, saunters triumphantly back into the Nazi bar*

Hey all, sorry to say this, as I think I have well-intentioned friends who signed, but this "declaration" means nothing. Because Steve Bannon signed it, and he wants my family dead. So if you can sign along side him? At best, you got played. He's the "humanity in control". humanstatement.org

The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s GOP started a group chat for conservative students — and within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people"
