This researcher is exploring both the biology of endometriosis and why it’s so difficult for people to get diagnosed. For her, it’s personal: She happens to have the condition.

"A team of independent forensic analysts examined their testimony. The experts called it consistent and credible, saying most of the acts described met the United Nations’ definition of torture." In our name, with our tax dollars. Trump II is an indelible stain on our national honor.

Not a bad idea... Someone with money, please rent one of those vans that have a giant TV, park it by bread lines in red states, and show footage from a Trump party on a loop.

The closed captioning is devastating

I learned a lot about Nancy Pelosi this week — including her very early advocacy for AIDS patients. She visited them in SF General’s AIDS ward and convinced the Reagan administration to allow the AIDS Memorial Quilt to be displayed on the National Mall in 1987. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/07/u...

Trump got his wish to starve Americans. The Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to temporarily withhold portions of SNAP payments for November. Huge thanks to the states and workers who rushed to process benefits before the ruling came down, not all heroes wear capes!

Through conversations with Congress we have learned that Sec Noem and FEMA’s Senior Official Performing the duties of administrator are MIA when it comes to responding to congressional inquiries. 😳 #TransparencyMatters 1/4

Chris Rufo/Ron DeSantis overhauled New College and made it "the most financially inefficient school in the university system" Degree yield is 19%, 2nd-worst in Fla. Operating funds per student at New College: $83,207 Same category at Univ of Florida: $45,765 www.heraldtribune.com/story/news/e...

While US venture capitalists were buying monkey jpegs, and DOGE coins, and figuring out how to get Black women fired, and tweeting about white birthrates, and trying to mandate which bathroom trans kids should use, China was making progress on climate change and taking the lead in a real industry.

If I'm doing the math correctly, Musk's big pay packet yesterday could have made each of these now-dead people millionaires instead. He is among the sickest men the world has ever produced.

The Trump administration has filed an emergency request with the First Circuit Court of Appeals to block U.S. District Judge John McConnell’s order requiring it to fully fund the SNAP program using alternative funding sources by today.

The real reason Trump wants a war with Venezuela?

The Big Bang theory as of 2021.

The key question, for this and many of Trump’s other issues, is who gets to decide there is an “emergency”? Sure the president can act in an emergency, but he is creating them out of thin air on a daily basis to justify his executive orders.

The Illinois legislature had passed the “Illinois Bivens Act,” allowing people to sue ICE agents in state court. Just waiting for Pritzker’s signature. dailynorthwestern.com/2025/11/03/c...

REMINDER: A socialist act by a New Yorker was a major reason why polio was eliminated in the US.

The NEJM Got a Fake Letter probably written by a chatbot From ‘Dr. B.S.’ Are professors padding their resumes for tenure?

Crimes against humanity. Bad treatment in custody, deported in a vegetative state. ICE revoked his visa then accused him of a felony for entering illegally. If he had a visa, he wasn’t here illegally. And illegal entry is a misdemeanor unless you do it twice. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The GOP is starving Americans.

In 2017, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases began recommending exposing children to peanuts “early and often.” A @stanfordallergy.bsky.social physician shares what's happened since that recommendation. 🥜

NEWS: Ranking Members @raskin.house.gov, @jayapal.house.gov, @durbin.senate.gov, and @padilla.senate.gov condemn the Trump Administration’s decision to slash refugee admissions to 7,500—almost entirely limited to white South Africans—without the legally required consultation with Congress.

“I’m sure you’re aware of our connections with the Trump Administration,” the North Carolina Republican Party's communications director wrote in an email response to us. “I would strongly suggest dropping this story.” We didn't. Read the story that he wanted dropped:

It's no coincidence, they targeted SNAP months ago. www.snopes.com/fact-check/m...

I read it all. @radiofreetom.bsky.social put scariest part at the top: "In the space of one short announcement, he managed to get a lot wrong, which is worrisome, because he’s the only person in America who has the authority to order the use of nuclear arms." 🎁 www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The Trump admin is rewriting disability eligibility rules. Changes would fall disproportionately on some of Trump's most loyal supporters in red states. Most affected would be 50- to 60-year-olds without a high school or college education who have, for decades, toiled in physically grueling jobs.

“Since the billboards have gone up, DeBarros said she’s hearing from National Guardsmen who are preparing to deny mobilization orders, as troops did in California and are preparing to do so in Chicago.” Very encouraging! 2 vet-led groups sponsoring. taskandpurpose.com/news/vet-gro...

Not gonna even speculate how #complicitmedia would react if a Black president boasted about a new marble shitter in a government shutdown.

Kristi Noem blasts “foreigners” for dangerous driving. According to the Rapid City Journal, that state’s court records show Noem had 20 speeding tickets dating back to 1989, alongside other violations, including failure to stop at an intersection and invalid license plates.

Studies increasingly find links between higher concentrations of certain pollutants in the air and the prevalence of dementia. Yet such findings are emerging when the U.S. government is dismantling efforts to continue reducing air pollution by shifting from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources.

The President of the United States is so upset about his failed campaign for a Nobel Prize that he's now trying to claim someone else's prize as his own. Pathetic.

So, if that's true, is there some kind of shot you could take, to help prevent autism?
