In related news, the claim ‘the Tooth Fairy does not actually take lost baby teeth from under pillows’ is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that magical beings are secretly thieving teeth in the dead of night…”

CDC backpedals on vaccines and autism, despite earlier assurances from RFK Jr.
The CDC, under the direction of an unqualified health secretary, is now promoting claims that flunk Logic 101.

Politicians exaggerate, distort, and lie all the time. This is—however regrettable—an accepted part of our democratic politics. But until 2025, it was assumed that important, apolitical government agencies did *not* lie. www.thebulwark.com/p/is-rfk-jr-...

Let’s be clear - Redacting the unindicted co-conspirators means inking out names of those guys who ‘went to the Island’, saw and/or participated, were accused by those who survived being abused as GIRLS there, but were never CHARGED because the male power hierarchy squashed the women’s accusations.
the new info was Donald Trump's updated approval ratings

The moment when 30 million American's received healthcare (2010) The moment when insurance companies had to start covering preexisting conditions, young adults could stay on their family's policy and I could trust that the small print couldn't screw me if I needed serious medical assistance. 🇺🇸

Oooo! Awesome analogy !!
I don't know if the Epstein vote is a one-off or not, but I've been thinkin of that very thin, translucent sticker film that comes when you order, say, a new monitor. It's devilishly hard to get the first little bit of the corner to separate but once you do, the entire thing pulls off very easily.

Imagine escaping the literal Nazis, making it to America, living three quarters of a century there making your life, and then this:
79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5.
He’s been taken by ICE in Florida.

Sanford grandfather, born in refugee camp, nabbed by ICE after 70 years in U.S.
Paul Bojerski never gained official residency, but he checked in regularly with ICE for years. Then in July, at age 79, he was detained and sent to Alligator Alcatraz.

Trump’s administration is dismantling key disability employment protections. It’s the most significant retreat from federal disability rights enforcement in decades.
If we don’t act, a growing number of disabled people could be shut out of the workforce. I’m fighting back.

Blending private business and government is not only quid pro quo corruption, but since it involves a foreign country violates the Emoluments clause. A two-fer when ordinary Americans are struggling

Math matters! Tx AOC!!
The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
