They LITERALLY campaigned on making children go hungry as a political statement and they can't figure out why they lost.

I'm not a Nobel winning economist, but it seems to me the world's largest retailer and the worlds largest delivery services laying off hundreds of thousands right before the busiest retail and delivery season of the year is perhaps not an optimistic indicator of Trump's promised "Golden Age"

Anthony Scaramucci lasted longer than Trump's Middle East peace plan.

We can, of course, be deceived in many ways. We can be
deceived by believing what is untrue, but we certainly are also
deceived by not believing what is true.

The Trump ceasefire deal is the Biden ceasefire deal Trump begged Bibi not to accept in 2024 because it would've hurt Trump's chances of winning the election and I wish this was the first time a GOP candidate for president won by meddling in American foreign policy.

See: Nixon '68 and Reagan '80.

The degree to which those comments can undermine public health, do harm to women who are pregnant, create anxiety for parents who do have children who are autistic – is violence against the truth.

They also clearly state it is the safest over the counter treatment option for fever and pain in pregnancy.

Official communication from FDA to physicians on acetaminophen use in pregnancy acknowledges there is no causal link between its use in pregnancy and autism. Also states clearly that this is the safest over the counter treatment for fever and pain in pregnancy. It is very different from what was communicated at the press conference.

This is the official communication from the FDA to physicians on acetaminophen use in pregnancy.
- They acknowledge the lack of a causal link with autism
- Essentially tell physicians to keep doing what we've been doing anyway
It's very different from the press conference.
Pass it on.

When it comes to vaccine hesitancy, often very much about community. My team believes this. I believe this.

And we ALL do it. Reaction to a bad ref call against a fav team? How we view songs outside our music tribe?

Same social forces, but add the power of rage, fear, and echo chambers.

Disregarding decades of scientific study by the best minds on the plant and instead proclaiming vitamin supplements (that you also just happen to sell) as a "cure" for a complex spectrum of conditions is the LEAST surprising news from a government composed of social media gym bro wellness grifters.

In 1900, 31% of all deaths were children under the age of 5.  Today it’s 0.7%.  Vaccines, medications, and modern science are the reason why.  Trust the science, it’s been proven to work safely and efficiently time and time again.

I’ll wake up tomorrow morning & send this to every editor I can think of. @andreapitzer.bsky.social nails the failings of the US media in this piece: a world-historical abdication of journalistic & civic responsibilities in service of self promotion above all else. The most vile form of betrayal.

The midwives said to them, β€œThe #WNBA players are not like the #MNBA players, for they are vigorous and give birth and then go ball out in a cheap-as-hell league that pays them a fraction of what they are owed.”

I think this is the asshole that unseated Peltola after the Hogg sty went after her.
If she was in office it would have been one fewer vote.

Kamala Harris promised to give people up to $25,000 toward buying a new home and white voters said "Nah, I'm going with the guy who wants to gut my healthcare, kidnap my neighbors and make billionaires even richer"

Whose Choice? Whose Life? The Adriana Smith case is not exactly about abortion.

Assuming control over someone's body without their consent to further your own interests encompasses the most horrific actions that can be done to a human being. The hospital's decision is depraved. Shame on Bruenig for trying to reframe the violence of Georgia law into sentimental literary tragedy.

No shit. The goal is no more vaccines. Populating ACIP with unqualified, credential-exaggerating anti-vaxxers is one of several means RFK Jr is using to get that done

We are learning that new ACIP members, appointed in a non-transparent process, are also, predictably, riddled with direct and indirect financial COI... including some who are paid experts in lawsuits against vaccine manufacturers.

Don't be fooled. His crusade is not about cleaning up conflicts.

So, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Satan's Butthole) doesn't want to say a duly elected state governor should be arrested, but he does endorse that governor's lynching - because that's what tarring and feathering is.

We're seeing nothing but open fascism and white supremacist nostalgia from the GOP.
