Skydance, parent co of Paramount & CBS, complied in advance. FCC chair, Brendan Carr is flexing so CBS barred Colbert from airing his interview with TX Senate candidate, Rep. James Talarico
Therefore, don't share this link of the Colbert interview with @jamestalarico.bsky.social
It'll make Carr mad

It’s odd that the religious right is so upset about a halftime show that celebrated marriage, love, community, small business, hard work, and family. 🤔

March for Life attendees may have been exposed to measles, DC Health warns D.C. health officials are contacting people possibly exposed to measles at the March for Life in January, as confirmed cases rise nationwide.

GOP child-protection policy:

Making America Healthy Again™ — now with measles

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

Trump:

"NATO has treated the United States very badly. We've never asked for anything. We've never got anything."

Tell that to the families of 850 soldiers from 19 non-US NATO countries who died fighting to defend the United States in Afghanistan - the only occasion Article 5 was ever triggered.

Dear Congress, RFK Jr is abusing his role as Sec. of HHS. Congress has a tool for moments like this: impeachment and removal. Congress must act NOW to stop RFK Jr from inflicting further harm. Sincerely, America. Got five Minutes? Email Your Rep! tr.ee/impeach-email

Every day that RFK Jr. remains in office is another day of compounding abusive and neglectful anti-science policies.

Got 5 minutes? Take action with Stand Up for Science, and send an email to your representative demanding that they act now and #impeachrfkjr

Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.

Here's an update from the post I shared a few days back.

The 21 year old youngster who protesting peacefully & holding a speaker and was shot in the face by #ICE point blank has been permanently blinded in 1 eye!

Please share this story widely!

It’s painfully obvious these goons have no idea what they’re doing. And they’ve learned nothing in the past week.

Imagine going to a doctor’s appointment and all hell breaks loose. They cut your seatbelt, and yank you out of your car.

Why is any of this necessary?

🇺🇸 MINNEAPOLIS VETERAN: "They are terrorizing the population, in Afghanistan we never wore masks.” (From @statuscoupnews.bsky.social )

Crockett: "Everyone wants to talk about how Maduro was illegitimate. As we sit here on January 6, I do want to be clear: somebody else was trying to be a Maduro of the United States. Somebody else wanted to do the exact same thing. The difference is Maduro was successful."

Reformed January 6th participant (who refused a pardon): “You can't gaslight me. I was there. I saw the officers being pepper sprayed. I watched one of them fall down and hit his head and his back. So don't be telling me it wasn't violent.”

No amount of gaslighting will convince sane and rational Americans that we didn’t see what we saw on January 6, 2021.

Let’s cut through some of the bullshit and lies…

The most important news today is the anniversary of January 6th.

This is a great thread to read.

House Democrats question OPM on retirement processing delays Democratic lawmakers are pressing OPM for answers on how it plans to address delays in federal retirement processing, amid a major application surge this year.

Great example Vought’s incompetence. He forces feds out but is unable to process separations. Some fired feds still have not received leave payouts. Retired feds wait MONTHS for benefits. No money to live on. Such a circus admin. Clowns, all of them.

Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head.

That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Wow‼️ The Kennedy Center already started slapping Donald Trump’s name on the building without congressional approval.

The narcissism is unreal with this man, and the willingness of so many to bend to his every whim is pathetic.

So the money Trump says he’s “giving to our troops” is money that was already supposed to be going to our troops?

Trump is taking money out their housing allowances approved by Congress and giving it to them in a “bonus” so it looks like it came from him. It’s just a shell game with military pay from the ultimate con man

Hot take: having an incoherent septuagenarian scream-lecture America like a man arguing with a self-checkout machine that keeps yelling “unexpected item in the bagging area” might not actually be the emotional support animal we need right now.

L - Propaganda to distract people from reality.

R - Reality.

Fourteen Studies That Find No Association Between Vaccines and Autism Primary Research: Vaccines and Autism 1. Hviid A, Hansen JV, Frisch M, Melbye M. Measles, mumps, rubella vaccination and autism: a nationwide cohort study. Ann Intern Med. 2019;170(8):513-520. This nationwide Danish cohort study of 657,461 children found no increased risk of autism associated with MMR vaccination, even among children at higher genetic risk for autism. 2. Madsen KM, Hviid A, Vestergaard M, et al. A population-based study of measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination and autism. N Engl J Med. 2002;347(19):1477-1482. In a cohort of over 500,000 Danish children, there was no association between MMR vaccination and the development of autism or autistic-spectrum disorder. 3. Taylor LE, Swerdfeger AL, Eslick GD. Vaccines are not associated with autism: an evidence-based meta-analysis of case-control and cohort studies. Vaccine. 2014;32(29):3623-3629. This meta-analysis of five cohort and five case-control studies (over 1.25 million children) found no relationship between vaccination - including MMR, thimerosal, or mercury - and autism or autism spectrum disorder. 4. Parker SK, Schwartz B, Todd J, Pickering LK. Thimerosal-containing vaccines and autistic spectrum disorder: a critical review of published original data. Pediatrics. 2004;114(3):793-804. A systematic review of epidemiologic and pharmacokinetic studies concluded that thimerosal-containing vaccines are not associated with autism spectrum disorder.

Primary Research: Vaccines and Autism 5. Honda H, Shimizu Y, Rutter M. No effect of MMR withdrawal on the incidence of autism: a total population study. J Child Psychol Psychiatry. 2005;46(6):572- 579. This Japanese population study showed that autism rates continued to rise after the withdrawal of MMR vaccine, refuting a causal link. 6. Fombonne E, Zakarian R, Bennett A, Meng L, McLean-Heywood D. Pervasive developmental disorders in Montreal, Quebec, Canada: prevalence and links with immunizations. Pediatrics. 2006;118(1):e139-150. Analysis of autism prevalence in Montreal found no change in autism rates despite a decrease in MMR vaccination coverage, arguing against a vaccine- autism association. 7. DeStefano F, Price CS, Weintraub ES. Increasing exposure to antibody- stimulating proteins and polysaccharides in vaccines is not associated with risk of autism. J Pediatr. 2013;163(2):561-567. A case-control study found no association between the total antigen exposure from vaccines in the first two years of life and the risk of developing autism. 8. Uno Y, Uchiyama T, Kurosawa M, Aleksic B, Ozaki N. The combined measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines and the total number of vaccines are not associated with development of autism spectrum disorder: the first case- control study in Asia. Vaccine. 2012;30(28):4292-4298. This Japanese case-control study found no association between MMR vaccination or the total number of vaccines received and the development of autism spectrum disorder. 9. Price CS, Thompson WW, Goodson B, et al. Prenatal and infant exposure to thimerosal from vaccines and immunoglobulins and risk of autism. Pediatrics. 2010;126(4):656-664. A US case-control study found no increased risk of autism associated with prenatal or early-life exposure to thimerosal-containing vaccines and immunoglobulins.

Primary Research: Vaccines and Autism 10. Smeeth L, Cook C, Fombonne E, et al. MMR vaccination and pervasive developmental disorders: a case-control study. Lancet. 2004;364(9438):963- 969. This UK case-control study found no evidence of an increased risk of pervasive developmental disorders, including autism, following MMR vaccination. Systematic Reviews: Vaccines and Autism 11. Gidengil C, Goetz MB, Newberry S, et al. Safety of vaccines used for routine immunization in the United States: an updated systematic review and meta- analysis. Vaccine. 2021;39(28):3696-3716. This updated systematic review and meta-analysis for the AHRQ found high- strength evidence that the MMR vaccine is not associated with autism. 12. Maglione MA, Das L, Raaen L, et al. Safety of vaccines used for routine immunization of U.S. children: a systematic review. Pediatrics. 2014;134(2):325- 337. A systematic review for the AHRQ concluded that the MMR vaccine is not associated with autism, based on high-quality evidence. 13. Dudley MZ, Halsey NA, Omer SB, et al. The state of vaccine safety science: systematic reviews of the evidence. Lancet Infect Dis. 2020;20(5):e80-e89. This review summarized systematic reviews on vaccine safety, consistently finding no evidence of a link between vaccines and autism. 14. Halsey NA, Hyman SL. Measles-mumps-rubella vaccine and autistic spectrum disorder: report from the New Challenges in Childhood Immunizations Conference convened in Oak Brook, Illinois, June 12-13, 2000. Pediatrics. 2001;107(5):E84. This expert panel report reviewed available evidence and concluded there is no credible evidence supporting a causal relationship between MMR vaccination and autism spectrum disorder.

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🍂🥧

Have some anti-vax family at your table?

Here is a summary of 14 studies that found no association between vaccines and autism.

New Mexico homeless high school students to get $500 monthly for attendance High school students experiencing homelessness in New Mexico will receive $500 monthly for meeting attendance and academic goals.

New Mexico is one of the poorest states in the country, yet this state can figure out how to provide free child care to working families who need it.

Now, New Mexico will pay homeless kids to get an education. These are common sense economic policies.
