For the first time in my career, I can’t tell people to trust what the CDC website says. And that is an incredibly sad and devastating place for this country to be.
CDC has overhauled its website to assert that “the claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim”

Normies and pretty much anybody to the right of me think I sound like a nutcase when I talked about how bad AI is but maybe above all other things, AI IS NOT NEUTRAL. It is a political tool. It's all about power & money.

For a certain kind of pundit, it's important to establish that all present evils are traceable to previous Democratic failures - preferably failures rooted in the naive pursuit of lofty progressive ambitions.
When no such failure exists, sometimes one must be simply invented from thin air.

Surely Johnson is the most pathetic Speaker in the history of the United States. An unctuous toady to power, crawling up to his presidential benefactor, practically begging for Trump to usurp Congress's constitutional role.
Mike Johnson on the tariffs case before SCOTUS: "I'm cheering for the president that the executive will win on this. Now, I say that as a jealous guardian of the legislative branch of government, Article 1."

Elon Musk has acquired billions in government subsidies and tax breaks.
Tesla shareholders will vote whether to make him the world’s first Trillionaire.
The moral of the story is this:

This is who your subscription dollars are going. For the New York Times to launder conservative talking points designed to limit where and how women work to force dependency on men. They want us back to before women could own their own bank account. But sure.

It's the most advanced radicalization machine ever created, and we've already discovered what happens in America when the government just lets that happen.
Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

This actually makes him an insane person, by the way
Senate Democratic Minority Leader Schumer’s decision not to endorse Zohran Mamdani in the NYC mayoral race “was driven in large part…by his self-conception as a guardian of Israel, something he considers a core part of his personal and political identity.”

The ADL has decided to treat fascists as allies and progressives as enemies. For a group that is tasked with protecting American Jews, that is a world historic fuck up.

v pleased Sotomayor just said this same damn thing at oral argument in the tariffs case like UM didn't we say in the student loans case??
DOJ said this is different bc there's a foreign emergency; Sotomayor said ok bet, so we say global warming is an emergency and then we can have loan forgiveness?

Every time I see Trump claim vast powers over economic policy that the Constitution does not give him, often only for the Supreme Court to step in and go 'seems legit,' I can't help but think about the Court carrying on as if canceling some student loan debt was shocking executive overreach
In a trio of cases, two currently pending before the Supreme Court and one that is likely to land on the justices’ doorstep as soon as Tuesday, President Donald Trump claims new powers that, if he prevails, would give him near-total control over all US fiscal and monetary policy.
