WATCH — @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “Reframing the Epstein files as a Democratic hoax is not gonna work… he has a -39 approval on handling the Epstein files… why did he want the files to not come out this badly? Why? Just tell me why?”

It’s clear, based on the right hand screenshot, that CDC political leadership (such as it is) wants to remove “Vaccines do not cause autism.” Everyone who voted for Trump or sat out the election owns this.
CDC has overhauled its website to assert that “the claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim”

Extremely upset that a throw-away XKCD joke somehow became the organizing principle for the Internet.

Of course Trump’s name should be redacted from all of the Epstein Files. After all, he is the victim.

Fox Business credulously reports that Saudi Arabia is pushing its investment into the US "to $1 trillion." The entire size of the Saudi economy is $1 trillion. How stupid are these people and/or how stupid do they think their viewers are?

NEW: Gregory Bovino is exactly who E.B. White — author of 'Charlotte's Web' — warned us about.

DHS named its North Carolina anti-immigrant effort "Operation Charlotte's Web." In 1940, White wrote of the "smell" that "rises" from those who "adjust to fascism" over freedom.

Let's blow up another country so John Q. Public won't think about Epstein for a little while!
emerging reports about possibly imminent US military attack on venezuela. there can be no doubt about it, certainly not in the coverage: such an attack would be an act of aggression, lacking any basis in international law. we'll get sophistic arguments about self-defense but none will be legit.
