Excited to return to not watching Jimmy Kimmel because I don’t want to watch Jimmy Kimmel and not because the government told me I can’t watch Jimmy Kimmel

Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.

My son was an infant in 2009, the year swine flu hit. He needed 2 separate flu shots as an infant. Separately, he needed 2 more swine flu shots.

I remember being really grateful it was covered, and I had transportation, but even from a position of privilege it was hard to accomplish.

It actually hurts to listen to this man speak now. I miss the world we had. Such an incredible human being.

Do Fox News hosts and commentators agree with their colleague Brian Kilmeade that the United States should "just kill" homeless people?

He still has a job. No apology. No retraction.

Just let us know, Fox.

It makes sense once you realize that every accusation is a confession.

Wow. Who could’ve guessed the party that’s led to country to a recession every time they’ve been in charge in the last 40 years would lead the country to a recession again?

β€œThe president cut your health care so he could build himself a golden ballroom” is a pretty easy message to sell

Welcome to America, where the convicted sex offender president is about to pardon the convicted child sex trafficker whose client he was.

Trump could give Ghislaine Maxwell a pardon on his last day in office exchange for favorable testimony now (SCOTUS has already said he can’t be prosecuted for it). She knows he’s her only chance for release. That means any β€œnew” testimony she offers is inherently unreliable unless backed by evidence

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Trump’s ex-wife Ivana wasn’t an American citizen until 1988. She gave birth to Don Junior in 1977, Ivanka in 1981, and Eric in 1984. β€” Let’s cancel their birthright citizenship first.

Trump’s go-to line about every foreign policy crisis and war - from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, to October 7th, to the Israel’s devastation of Gaza - was β€œIt would never have happened if I was president.”

Welp.

RFK Jr. ousts entire CDC vaccine advisory committee Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has removed every member of a scientific committee that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how to use vaccines.

RFK Jr.β€˜s extreme anti-vax views β€” and his related conflicts of interest β€” were a huge problem during his confirmation process.

So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel.

Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.
