NEWSMAX host deletes lie about the fires after Governor @GavinNewsom calls him out 👇🏽

Chris has it exactly right:

a. Cannon has no jurisdiction because of the appeal of the dismissal. She has no power to do jack shit in this case now.

b. She’s got no business addressing the 1/6 report not only because of (a) but because that’s totally separate from the case she dismissed.

A history of the Love Canal disaster, 1893 to 1998 The state health department declared an emergency at the Love Canal in 1978, but the history of the dump site stretches back to the last century. Here’s a chronology of

Trump will allow companies to cough up a billion dollars and he’ll wave all our environmental laws.

Why the top House Democrat is not accusing the House Republicans of covering up an investigation of the sexual misconduct of an AG nominee is beyond me. Fight, harder.

It was never about “free speech” over in the bad place.

I honestly don’t think Americans understand how much their day to day lives depend on federal civil servants and now is the time for professional commentators to write op-eds explaining

Annual morbidity in the 20th century, before and after vaccines:

Measles:
Before: 530,000, After: 47

Mumps:
Before: 160,000, After: 429

Rubella:
Before: 50,000, After: 3

Diphtheria:
Before: 20,000, After: 2

Smallpox:
Before: 30,000, After: 0

Polio:
Before: 16,000, After: 0

Mostly white. Mostly male.
Not America as it actually looks.
America as they want it to look.

I would like to speak up today for the trans community.

You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1

I was also thinking that it reminds me of an Apple Store. I miss the old head shops.

Some things listed as "pre-existing conditions" have no relation to potential mortality. Multiple studies were done showing that weight is a pre-existing condition for Covid only in that heavier people received worse care and thus had worse outcomes.

The Invisible Hand: How Dark Money Is Inventing Prestige for Right-Wing Academics The Academy of Sciences and Letters sounds prestigious, but is it really?

Last month, the so-called American Academy of Sciences and Letters gave a medal to Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, who advocated for mass COVID infection. NY Post framed it as a “top award.”

We looked into it. AASL is 2 years old—part of a right-wing dark money network trying to transform elite universities.

How limited must you be to complain that a school tells students that shouldn't use the word "ret*rd"?

IMO, the hope for US garment manufacturing isn't in raising tariffs. This would only raise the cost of inputs, making US exports less competitive on the global market. The hope is to move US garment manufacturing upstream: higher end garments, custom garments, quick turnarounds

The Family Rift Driving Rupert Murdoch to Redo His ‘Irrevocable’ Trust A yearslong succession drama is heading for its series finale in a Nevada court; siblings face off over control of media empire

No, @WSJ, your owner is not driven--in your passive voice--to do this. He is the one driving this effort to maintain his right-wing propaganda & disinformation empire from the grave. You would be better not writing the story than doing his bidding, #MurdochJournal.

What the well-dressed, sane, democracy-loving, fascist-hating, Harris-Walz voting man (me) is wearing these days:

Politics is just the way we make society together. Whenever someone says "I am apolitical" I hear "I am not vested in the shared project of making society" and I have to wonder why.

When I was in grad school James Earl Jones came to campus and gave a 90 minute talk about the civil rights movement and the first audience question was from a little girl who asked “are you really the lion King?” and he took his glasses off and said “Simbaaaaa” and everyone totally lost their shit.

Biden administration releases plans for new minimum tax on large companies The new minimum tax on large companies by the Biden administration aims to raise $250 billion over the next decade.

The Biden administration unfurled new draft rules that could raise taxes on about 100 highly profitable companies, some of which pay little or nothing to the federal government each year, touching off a bruising fight that will coincide with a broader reexamination of the U.S. tax code in 2025.

Eric Trump's Critique Of Harris's Debate Performance Turns Into A Spectacular Self-Own Eric Trump was mocked for complaining about Kamala Harris' "generic talk" during the presidential debate.

Total backfire.
