Exclusive: Medical journal rejects Kennedy's call for retraction of vaccine study An influential U.S. medical journal is rejecting a call from Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to retract a large Danish study that found that aluminum ingredients in vaccines do not increase health risks for children, the journal's editor told Reuters.

A large-scale, government-funded study tracking 1.2M children over two decades found something Kennedy doesn't like, so he wants it retracted.

The military takeover of Washington is not a “distraction” from Epstein. It’s a military takeover of Washington, which is an even bigger deal, and those of us who kill brain cells reporting on this stuff knows it’s been an explicit goal since before the election.

i will never not be amused by how the conservative world is governed by the kind of “affirmative action” they say happens in mainstream institutions. totally unqualified dipshits are handed the keys to institutions because they say the right thing and have the right look.

I cannot begin to express how deeply, bone shakingly angry this makes me.

People want health care, food, housing, and good jobs.

They also want their flights to take off and land safely — and to not be nickel and dimed by airlines.

Priorities.

This new policy basically means all immigrants have no due process rights and can be detained indefinitely. Once again like the student detentions and like CECOT, the Trump administration is using immigration detention, which both parties built up, as a testing ground for its authoritarianism...

I've been teaching at Princeton over the same period and the drop-off in reading stamina has been staggering.

I'm not sure of the cause -- some blame K-12 shifts to "chunk reading" while others pin it on COVID -- but it's undeniable.

This is not the act of a legitimate government.

Dismantling the Department of Education, Without Saying Why The American people deserve to know the Court’s reasoning.

There’s something taunting, almost bullying, about this lack of reasoning, as if the Supreme Court is saying to the country: You don’t even deserve an explanation.

New York Times Culture Desk Shake-Up: Critics Margaret Lyons, Jon Pareles, Jesse Green, Zach Woolfe Reassigned to ‘New Roles’ Four New York Times critics -- Margaret Lyons, Jon Pareles, Jesse Green and Zach Woolfe -- will be assigned 'new roles' as the paper changes up its culture desk coverage.

The Trump regime is about to burn 500 tons of USAID emergency food. Why?
Because it expired after its shipment was delayed.

1.5 million children could have eaten for a week. Now, taxpayers will spend $130K for it to be destroyed.

This isn’t just inefficient – it’s cruel.

best way to do this is continuing to bring up Musk's criticism of the bill

I went through a 6mo hiring process for a WaPo job in 2022, finally got an offer, then passed after passive-aggressive convos that culminated w/ the hiring manager asking me to take down a post I'd written a couple years prior lightly criticizing efforts to incorporate AI into newsrooms. So: lol.

Hegseth Orders Navy to Strip Name of Gay Rights Icon Harvey Milk from Ship Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered the Navy to take the rare step of renaming a ship, one that bears the name of a gay rights icon, documents and sources show.

Pressuring Migrants to ‘Self-Deport,’ Trump Moves to Cancel Social Security Numbers By placing migrants in Social Security’s “death master file,” the Trump administration is seeking to cut off their access to credit cards, bank accounts and other financial services.

NEW: @nytimes.com reports that the Trump admin is moving to strip hundreds of thousands of immigrants of Social Security Numbers they got when they were granted work authorization, repurposing a "death master file" to try to erase their previous legal presence in the United States.

I'm not going to stop saying this. We need to stop calling it "deporting." It may not always be fair or humane, but deportation has a process. And it means you're sent back to where you came from. These people are being trafficked and sold to slave prisons. Not deported.

This is... laminated...

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.

Data visualization titled "Complaints to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Come From Across the Country." Below, a representation of a U.S. map, but each of the 50 states is represented as a single green square labeled with the state's abbreviation. A key to the top left shows a gradient that goes from white to light green to dark green, with white representing 5 complaints per 1,000 residents and dark green representing >50 complaints per 1,000 residents.

No matter which state you live in, Trump’s dismantling of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau affects your ability to be protected from scams.

We want to understand the fallout that comes with gutting the government’s consumer watchdog. Here’s how you can help us report: propub.li/43EycsC
