Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins? He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions. So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

russian state TV is catching up? Calling russian MoD liers and mulling on million casulties for 35km of progress in 4 years at Donetsk

For the first time, traffic on Kyiv’s Khreshchatyk was completely halted during the nationwide moment of silence in honor of fallen Ukrainian soldiers. This practice will now take place daily.

A few months ago in Brussels, I heard a former Estonian Chief of the General Staff say: “Last time Russia attacked us, we didn’t fight and came under occupation. As a result, we lost 10%‼️ of our population. Next time Russia attacks us, we WILL fight, whether any of you support us or not.” 👊🇪🇪🔥

A Chinese cargo ship visited the occupied port of Sevastopol in Crimea, under sanctions since 2014 — faking its route and making an unprecedented series of stops by a major foreign vessel to one of the Ukrainian ports seized by Russia. w/ @chriscook.news @financialtimes.com on.ft.com/3Ibs2b9

I think this is great actually. A lot of Sinclair scam over the years has been slipping semi under the radar

“The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today initiated the process for a label change for acetaminophen to reflect evidence suggesting…” *stares in pending abortion pill ratfuck*

you look at all of this and it tells a very clear and unmistakable story no matter what the conservative justices say at conferences or in interviews or whatever they tell themselves

I know this 4 months old, but bears reposting and reminding. We're dealing with a pro-death, Eugenics movement. I say that without hyperbole. Just trust the evidence of your eyes and ears. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I would be so stoked to get the country back from the evangelicals, tbh.

This is horrific and feels like it should be a bigger deal. Business Insider reports that people who have worked at xAI have seen Grok create images and written material with child sex abuse material. www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-gr...

In December 2023, Special Counsel Jack Smith asked SCOTUS to grant cert before judgement to hear Trump’s immunity appeal. The court rejected that request and didn’t issue its immunity decision until July 2024. Trump’s federal cases never made it to trial before the November 2024 election.

The most controversial vaccine in the polling, the Covid-19 one, is still like 2:1 in favor. American voters absolutely hate anti-vax shit and people promising to make their kids sick, but there will be a huge propaganda effort to convince them that this is not the case now that Trump wills it.

NEW: SCOTUS majority says Trump can ignore precedent if the majority doesn't like it. A 90-year-old precedent meant nothing to the majority allowing Trump to fire an FTC commissioner during litigation. This is no way to run a court, let alone a country. Tonight, at Law Dork:

"It’s clear at present that this Trump administration doesn’t seem to believe it has any limits." And @marisakabas.bsky.social gets bonus points for the headline of her latest. www.thehandbasket.co/p/ice-death-...

It's impossible to overstate how problematic it is for the White House to demand payouts or company stakes in the course of approving deals, hand-selecting acquirers, demanding corporate compliance or anything else.

Terrible

Trump: don’t take acepitoemponoene RFK Jr: *moth crawls out of mouth* A nude man is in the background, only referred to as “the colonel” Person watching on tv: well if they say so

Cancelling Hulu is back on the menu boys

It fucking rules that they did all the idiot gloating about this because if they’d had even an ounce of discretion about it it wouldn’t be a public loss of face like this, just behind the scenes pressure that they could deny. But now their options are obvious retaliation or backing down.

Blatant discrimination based on ethnicity. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

Who the fk do they think they are 😂 going to backfire for these “free speech warriors”

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

He’s sincerely the dumbest man to ever occupy the office.

24 hours ago, it looked like the Utah GOP was complying with a court order to create a competitive district grounded in Salt Lake. But the gamesmanship may have been just around the corner with this new bill GOP unveiled. www.utahpoliticalwatch.news/utah-republi...

Shaun King pivoting right because the left got tired of his grift is hilarious.

fun to watch RFK in these press conferences and see that he is even more deranged than the president

Occasional reminder that Congress could put a stop to this tariff nonsense at anytime.

It can't be overstated how the Republicans have embraced "did it make you mad in real life?!" as an ideology.

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

It’s got to be so wild trying to teach law school classes now: “Um, yea, so there’s no such thing as ‘precedent’ or ‘law’ anymore — the law is just whatever John Roberts thinks helps Donald Trump the most right now.”

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

Trump Health Care Tips: Vaccines = bad. Injecting bleach = good. Tylenol = bad. Ivermectin = good.

Irony is truly dead.

I'm not doing a bit here, I sincerely wonder if he got the "Amish people don't have autism" from this incredibly scientific Theo Von interview with an Amish guy from a couple of weeks ago.

Q: There's a statement by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists saying acetaminophen remains a safe option for pain relief during pregnancy Trump: That's the establishment. They're funded by lots of different groups. And you know what, maybe they're right. I don't think they are

Call me old fashioned, but aren’t both parts of this relationship currently, uh, married to other people?

At the end of each day I think things couldn’t possibly get worse because I’m an optimist. But Trump always proves me wrong. bsky.app/profile/atru...

the sycophancy for trump aside, very hard to overstate the arrogance of this majority in dispensing with a precedent that has served this country and both of its political parties well for nearly a century.

Lotta bleak stuff out there today but not sure anything can top 'you can now shop the war in Gaza on TikTok' www.theverge.com/tech/782540/...

JUST IN: Wall Street Journal seeks dismissal of Trump libel suit over article disclosing his alleged birthday note to Epstein. WSJ: 'There is nothing defamatory about a man sending a bawdy letter to his friend' & is consistent w/Trump's reputation. Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Certiorari "before judgment" is how #SCOTUS takes up a full appeal *before* the intermediate federal courts have heard it. It used to be exceedingly rare. For instance, there wasn't a *single* grant of such expedited review b/w August 2004 & February 2019. This is the *23rd* such grant since then.

Cool. I’m not coming back though.

The Republican break from reality in 2020 is easily visible on the graph. With perception of local crime, notice how closely the red and blue lines track each other. A slight partisan effect, but basically consensus. Then in 2020, a spike in perceived crime that hasn’t abated. Keyword “perceived.”

more and more, people are asking: what the fuck does charlie kirk have to do with my groceries being so expensive

These findings in the new Washington Post poll jump off the page: Trump is underwater by 19 points on his handling of the economy (40/59) and underwater by 30 points on his handling of tariffs. By contrast, the same poll found him at +14 net approval on the economy in Oct. 2020.

Under pressure from Texas government officials, Angelo State University in Texas is banning all discussion or mention of the existence of trans people along with banning the LGBTQ pride flag from campus and forced misgendering of trans people. conchoobserver.com/2025/09/19/a...

I quite like immigration.

‼️ Zara, Bershka, Stradivarius and Massimo Dutti are selling again in Russia, — rosZMI Their clothes have appeared in Tvoe stores in Moscow and 6 other cities. Inditex has not yet commented on the return.

A fourth boat bombed in international waters. Total death toll now 19 What I dont get is, if these boats are "carrying fentanyl" as Trump says (they absolutely arent. Even the DEA says VZ doesnt produce fentanyl), then why not seize one and show us? www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...
