Tom Cotton is a graduate of Harvard Law School, and he's telling us it's proof that Trump's boat attack victims are drug traffickers if CNN doesn't interview their grieving relatives.

The UK really is speed-running towards CHILDREN OF MEN, isn't it?

With new ordinance, Santa Fe becomes first city to tie minimum wage to rental costs SANTA FE — The Santa Fe City Council voted on Wednesday to raise its minimum wage from $15 an hour to $17.50 in 2027, eliciting praise from workers’ rights advocates

Santa Fe is now the first city to tie the minimum wage to the cost of rent.

The Santa Fe City Council voted to raise its minimum wage from $15/hr to $17.50 by 2027 — but they also added another provision.

Future increases will factor in inflation, and the price of housing.

I cannot stress enough that there must be profound consequences for a government agency making a completely false claim on their website.

If not, RFK Jr. will use this in every lawsuit he files against vaccine manufacturers when he leaves office.

An anti-vaccination organization is claiming that their lawsuit against the CDC is what got the false webpage claiming that vaccines cause autism published.

If this is the case, surely a lawsuit can be filed to get it removed?

What the actual fuck….

How right-wing superstar Riley Gaines built an anti-trans empire The swimmer tied a trans woman for fifth. The MAGA industrial complex took care of the rest.

"I just say, ‘You know, it’s hard for me to care about Riley Gaines tying for fifth when my swim coach is accused of raping my teammates.”

Gaines never talks about her teammates who were raped by her coach that she supported.

Live Updates: Jobs Report Shows Gains in September, but Unemployment Rate Rose

We know that the Trump administration is using the CDC to spread blatantly false information.

So, how can we trust that they're not using the BLS the same way?

Appeals Court Halts Sweeping Order that Restricts Immigration Agents’ Use of Force Around Chicago The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals has agreed to stay an order issued by U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis that sought to rein in agents’ use of tear gas, pepper balls and other crowd control measures ...

“The practical effect,” the court wrote, “is to enjoin all law enforcement officers within the Executive Branch.”

And that’s supposed to be a bad thing, when the head of the Executive Branch openly encourages and even demands exactly the kinds of illegality the order restricts?

In order to figure out where all the antisemitism on the right has come from, we interviewed the most obtuse fool imaginable who is both Jewish AND built one of the key institutions that has served as an incubator of right wing antisemitism since its founding.

Here are some professional organizations you can rely on for solid, evidence-based vaccine guidance:

Trump is trying to serve Ukraine up on a platter that looks precisely like the platter Putin's guys demanded in the 2016 quid pro quo offer given to Paul Manafort.

Vaccine Safety MENU V For Everyone NOV. 19, 2025 KEY POINTS • The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism. • Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities. • HHS has launched a comprehensive assessment of the causes of autism, including investigations on plausible biologic mechanisms and potential causal links.

This is completely disgusting. Today, the CDC updated their vaccine safety page. It now says:

“The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism”.

🚨 Misusing antibiotics can affect everyone.

#AntimicrobialResistance (#AMR) occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites no longer respond to medicines. Drug-resistant bacteria can spread and make infections harder to treat.

In early 2025, the Israeli military launched an operation that emptied three Palestinian refugee camps. They've blocked their residents from returning and razed many of their homes.

In a new report, HRW finds that Israeli forces carried out war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity.

RFK Jr had committed to Bill Cassidy, as a condition to win his vote, that he would keep website language.

Cassidy in February: “If confirmed… CDC will not remove statements on their website pointing out that vaccines do not cause autism.”

Note the language in second photo.

Young Girls Were Sexually Abused by a Church Member. They Were Told to Forgive and Forget. In Minnesota, leaders of an Old Apostolic Lutheran Church community enabled a child abuser by telling his victims that once the sins were “washed away in the blood of reconciliation,” they could never...

Leaders of a Minnesota church community didn’t report a parishioner they knew had sexually abused girls for year.

They told his victims that once sins were “washed away in the blood of reconciliation,” they could never speak of them again.

Truly chilling, from @jlussenhop.bsky.social & Andy Mannix

A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention webpage that previously made the case that vaccines don't cause autism now says they might. The contents of the webpage came up during Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Senate confirmation process. Sen. Bill Cassidy (R., La.) in February said Kennedy had assured him that, if he was confirmed, the CDC would "not remove statements on their website pointing out that vaccines do not cause autism." The revised webpage says: "The claim 'vaccines do not cause autism' is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism. Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities."

They lie, every member of the Trump regime.

They lie and lie and lie and lie and lie

CDC Changes Webpage to Say Vaccines May Cause Autism, Revising Prior Language The text on vaccines had been a focal point for both vaccine skeptics, who criticized it, and public health advocates, who wondered how far RFK Jr. would go to change it.

Oh dear God.

Measles rates are going to skyrocket.

So are cases of the flu, of Covid, of mumps, of diphtheria and tetanus.

When the CDC says something most people pay attention.

There are so many things to unpack in what she says in this clip, but the level of internalized antisemitism that it takes to basically say, "the lesson of the Holocaust is that Jews must control the media so that Israel can do whatever it wants without vocal opposition" is deeply depressing to hear

quick reminder that the jews were not the only marginalized group targeted by the nazis

does she think gay people, trans people, and the romani should also be allowed to do a genocide?

I was tempted to say ‘She almost got it’ but tbh I think she absolutely gets it, she’s just not having it. She’s looking at the facts in a clear-eyed manner and choosing her path.

This is quite possibly the most insane thing I’ve heard someone say this year

I’m just flabbergasted

Very much worth the watch. It leads to a question, for me:
Why don't people know?

And, IMO there is only one answer.

The press, the agenda & they who controls the narrative. The press in this country, pretty much bar maybe 10%, doesn't want to report this.
