Harvard Dean Was Paid $150,000 as an Expert Witness in Tylenol Lawsuits

If you've followed the acetaminophen saga, then you've probably heard Trump officials cite a "Harvard study" purportedly proving the autism link

In which case, you might want to read this article about the Harvard professor behind it www.nytimes.com/2025/09/23/h...

Here we see Fox News' Will Cain apparently unaware that Senate Democrats proposed a ban on mid-decade redistricting and partisan gerrymandering in 2021, which no Republicans supported, and that the GOP governor of Massachusetts signed off on their last congressional redistricting map.

Toy Biz, Inc. v. United States - Wikipedia

incredible find from @besttrousers.bsky.social on the bad site: “there is a judicial ruling that the X-men are nonhumans and should be tariffed at the "toy" rate instead of the "doll" rate.”

which,,,, simply could not be more thematically on the nose for the x-men

I will hand it to him very narrowly that by far the most pissed off people I’ve spoken to about this current era are woke Christians — Black pastors, liberal reverends, etc

They speak and act with a righteous apocalyptic rage that you just don’t get if you’re a nonbeliever like me…

Justice department drops cases against LA protesters after officers caught making false claims Revealed: records show border patrol gave inaccurate testimony about people it jailed. Prosecutors now face ‘embarrassing’ dismissals

Lying by an officer should be a one-strike-you're-fired situation, and the officers who did so should all be prosecuted. I won't hold my breath. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Instituting Medicare for all might distract us from the Epstein files.

Maybe strengthening the regulatory agencies and refunding them.

Instituting a wealth tax and 50% bracket for those making 700k+ might distract us…
