The anti-science announcements on autism were always about messaging, with a side of prioritizing belief over information. That’s why RFK Jr. cut the research doing what he claimed he would do—replacing it by drawing conclusions from inconclusive studies. www.propublica.org/article/rfk-...

My fellow Georgians...Just don't. For the love of Georgia, do not vote Raffensperger into power in the State of Georgia.🍑 Georgia needs unity and healing, not another Kemp. Raffensperger is not the one. He's just another distractor. www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

Reminds me of how the Koch brothers funded the “grass roots” tea party.

FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez explains the serious financial interest media conglomerate Nexstar has in sucking up to Donald Trump, including on matters like Jimmy Kimmel's suspension.

Nothing to see here. Just Tylenol’s lawyers warming up…🔥

NEWS: Trump seems to be implying he is going to sue ABC for bringing back Jimmy Kimmel. This is why you never bend the knee to a bully.

holy shit lol. What a weird thing to post ahead of a Kimmel show that will have a gargantuan audience.

We shall see if one of the most unpopular presidents in American history who is presiding over an economy he’s trying to wreck and the poisoning of our diplomatic relations can consolidate a dictatorship. I’m pretty skeptical he has the juice, especially in his decayed state.

BREAKING: Democrat Adelita Grijalva has won the special election in AZ-7 to fill her late father's US House seat. The discharge petition to release the Epstein files needs one more signature, and she's expected to sign it. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

BREAKING: The Epstein Files just got one step closer to being released. With Adelita Grijalva’s victory in AZ-07, Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna now have the magic number — 218 votes — needed for the discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the full Epstein Files.

Kimmel: "Disney has asked me to read the following statement and I agreed to do it. 'To reactivate your Disney+ and Hulu account ... '"

Kimmel: "The President of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he cannot take a joke."

Those station groups not allowing their viewers to see tonight’s Jimmy Kimmel are denying them access to an important moment in TV history.

Tonight’s Jimmy Kimmel monologue was a watershed moment for politics and free speech. He handled it with grace, dignity and humility. The more Trump comes after these people the less popular he will become.

For those who still believe that autism is caused by vaccinations - it is NOT...here is @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social , vaccine expert, physician, researcher, book about his daughter's autism. She is a grown woman now. The conspiracies are abundantly absurd and have harmed and even killed children.

When the lawsuit is filed, and it will be, can the US taxpayers make sure the INDIVIDUALS responsible for this recklessness pay for it rather than we the taxpayers???

It gives Tylenol an great law suit.

Pretty sure that claiming Tylenol causes autism, while epically stupid, is more enjoyable than defending an ongoing coverup for wealthy child rapists.

I guess Trump and RFK Jr weren’t happy with the studies that said sperm from older men significantly raises the risk of autism.

The backlash to ABC/Disney canceling Kimmel has been swift, and severe. The whole episode underscores something I've been blogging about for a while: A lot of powerful people just don’t realize how unpopular Trump is www.gelliottmorris.com/p/a-lot-of-p...

OLIVER: “I’d argue @disney & Bob Iger need to stand by @jimmykimmel and his staff — history is also going to remember the cowards who knew better. Giving the bully your lunch money doesn’t make him go away, it just makes him come back hungrier each time.” 🎯

oh fuck holy shit?

I'm ANTIFA. Americans are supposed to be.

Trump is frantic to take down foes because he fears base is about to turn on him: analyst

Welp. There's an exhibit for a selective and vindictive prosecution motion. "She looks guilty."

This is the way. Re-pledged to PBS, as well.

We really can’t understate the psychic toll of knowing that the United States government is trying to kill as many people as possible

Our economic freedoms and civil rights are under attack right now. Over the coming months and years, we're all going to need to work even harder to protect the gains we've made. We need to answer the call to leadership like the tradeswomen of NABTU have.

Murphy continues to be a really clear voice

"Since 2002, right-wing ideologies have fueled more than 70% of all extremist attacks and domestic terrorism plots in the United States, according to the Anti-Defamation League." -- so call them out as liars when they say otherwise www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

People cancelling Disney+ & Hulu? You’ve got options: 1️⃣ Library card = FREE movies & shows on Kanopy & Hoopla 2️⃣ PBS Passport for $5/month 3️⃣ Free/cheap live TV → Pluto, Tubi, Freevee, Roku Channel + antenna for locals There’s always another way. 📺✨

In a moment like this, when tensions are high, part of the job of the president is to remind us of the ties that bind us together.

1/8 Republicans lie when they say they fight for workers & consumers. Trump’s second term proves it: he killed investigations into wage theft, racial discrimination & consumer fraud so his billionaire donors walk free. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

ICE officials insist they did not use excessive force. Yet in a chaotic scene at an immigration detention facility in the Chicago suburbs, Illinois Democratic congressional candidates reported being tear-gassed, hit with

Remember when we were kids and civics class drilled into us that the Constitution was the supreme law of the land? Turns out, that’s true, but only until someone with enough money, power, or political convenience decides it’s not.

Warning signs abound for the US labor market. Employers added only 27,000 jobs monthly between May & August, far below the 168,000 a month last year. Workers see only a 45% chance of finding a new job within a year if they lose their job, the lowest on record in a NY Fed survey conducted since 2013.

Go fash, lose cash

Authoritarians always twist “free speech” into a weapon, censoring whoever they fear most. Trump’s FCC chair Brandon Carr’s flip-flop on censorship and free speech is staggering.

currently at record-high search interest for canceling disney plus. pulling kimmel is a bigger deal to the company's bottom line than any of the "woke" scandals of the past 5 years. i think news & entertainment corp execs need put more work into understanding their audience, & get off twitter
