Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, bungled answers on Tuesday about habeas corpus, incorrectly saying that the legal right of people to challenge their detention by the government was actually the president’s “constitutional right” to deport people.

Why would Trump dismantle the CPSC?

Product safety deregulation saves corporations money by not having to properly test, design, or recall their products.

This benefits the corporations and billionaires donating millions to his campaign, while harming us.

Always follow the 💰
Q: The administration appears to have started dismantling the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Does the administration not believe that it's important?

LEAVITT: It's a federal agency within the executive branch. Who's the head of the executive branch? POTUS. He has the right to fire people

Meta's PR absolutely lost its shit at us a few months ago when we wrote about how a student added facial recognition to its Rayban smart glasses, the underlying implication being that it would not do that itself. Well Well Well. WELL WELL WELL

Well, Well, Well: Meta to Add Facial Recognition To Glasses After All
Meta previously lost its shit at 404 Media when we reported that someone had paired facial recognition tech with the company's smart glasses. Now Meta is building the invasive technology itself.

JUST IN:

Federal judge orders the “immediate” release of Tufts University student, Rumeysa Ozturk, from detention.

“The main evidence against her appears to be an essay critical of Israel that she helped to write in a Tufts student newspaper last year.”

An essay.

Members of Congress were also there, but were not arrested. One reason why? It's literally illegal for DHS to bar any member of Congress from entering an immigration detention facility for the purposes of conducting oversight.

Alabama is one of eight Southern states that has shown the weakest growth in life expectancy over the last 125 years.

That’s according to a study which examined about 179 million deaths across the United States - 77 million female and 102 million male- from 1969 to 2020.

MAGA/MAHA believe that the sick are weak. For them, to be sick, to be chronically ill, to be disabled *is to be weak*

It’s a eugenicist project.

This isn't complicated.

RFK Jr. is lying to the United States; wasting taxpayers' money on inquiry into what's long been known to be bullshit, and will accumulate a body count as he persists.

Germ theory is real. Vaccines work. Antimicrobial drugs are a promethean gift in need of protecting.
