The actual secret to why I know stuff is that I ask a question any time I don’t understand literally anything. I don’t care how simple it is. Anybody who makes fun of you for asking a simple question likely doesn’t know the answer either

RFK Jr had committed to Bill Cassidy, as a condition to win his vote, that he would keep website language.
Cassidy in February: “If confirmed… CDC will not remove statements on their website pointing out that vaccines do not cause autism.”

we are returning to the state in which the framers intended for the legislature, in which the lower chamber and the upper chamber absolutely despise one another
The House has voted unanimously to repeal the provisions in the shutdown package which allow GOP Senators to sue the federal government and get as much as $1 million in damages - because the feds looked at their phone records in the Jan. 6 investigation.

Trump in a room with a very charismatic person results in like half a day of Trump agreeing with everything that person said, so this has the potential to be very, very funny.

It’s hard to see if the NYT approves or disapproves of Trump’s behavior here.
Just kidding, they approve!

When ABC paid $15M to settle a lawsuit it would have won, it may have thought it bought peace with Trump.
Instead, it invited more bullying.
Yesterday, Trump called an ABC reporter ”insubordinate” and threatened ABC’s licenses. Today, more abuse.
You either fight Trump or he owns you.

I think about this every g-ddamn day.
Astonishing to stop and realize that, at any given moment, bands of masked men armed to the teeth are storming churches and daycares, terrorizing entire communities—and that most of the country's political establishment barely blinks.

Absolutely unhinged. The opposite — in almost every case — of what the “free speech warriors” claimed they wanted. It was always, as it so often is, just about control.
New: Reuters has tallied job losses, suspensions and investigations stemming from the reaction to Charlie Kirk's Sept. 10 assassination. Its findings: More than 600 Americans have been punished, and the figure is likely to be an under-count.

In his dissent on the Texas ruling, Judge Smith mentions the name "Soros" 17 times.
He uses the word "discrimination" 3 times over 104 pages, and in all instances it's to quote from the majority opinion.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

This is pretty amazing. This guy just won a solid victory in Bucks County, PA, one of the most important swing counties in the country, by *explicitly and deliberately* making his race *all about* nationalizing ICE raids. Confirms the point about this now being a winning issue for Dems.
