A leader of the MN House Democrats is murdered by a Republican pro-life activist. Rather than condemning political murder of his opponents, Elon Musk spreads the conspiracy theory that it was done by Democrats. Journalists don’t need to use any social media site. But they really shouldn’t use X.

Fwiw arstechnica did a better write up of what he believes and it's more fucked up and more clearly based in eugenics
He says it's miasma theory but in classic RFK Jr. fashion he defines it wrong. It would actually be better if he believed in miasma theory than his actual beliefs imho

And the demographic consequences of young men and women going their separate ways?
The share of young Koreans in relationships has fallen by almost half since 2010, with birth tracing almost exactly the same path 📉

It is still a "fringe theory" -- every court has rejected it.
There is still a "broad consensus" -- John Eastman is a disgraced lawyer under indictment.
The only thing that has changed is the Times.

Expand the House. Why.
It was capped at 435. The U.S. population is about 90 times larger than it was at the time of the Constitution. But the House is not even 7 times as large. This has a *direct* correlation with the electoral college.

I'm not a lawyer, but it seems like SCOTUS just said the government is allowed to disappear anyone it wants from the street and throw them into a Central American torture pit as long as they give the victims a chance to say "wait, what" before the most conservative district court in the system?
