RFK Jr. is a big proponent of peptide injections.

They aren’t tested, aren’t FDA-approved, recently caused two women to be hospitalized in critical condition, and make a shit ton of money for dishonest quacks who peddle them.

No wonder he loves them.
The trend of unproven peptides is spreading through influencers and RFK Jr. allies
More Americans are turning to peptides for muscle building, skin rejuvenation, and to try and live longer even though the substances aren’t FDA approved.

I thought the earlier news from A&M was bad, but this is incredibly bleak. It’s close to the point of not having a functional university.
Message to all faculty: your expertise is no longer trusted or valued at this so-called “university.”

Calling this a "gaffe" is the #BrokenTimes' way to dismiss and forgive the right-wing defense of a white supremacist. Credulity in the excuse of racism is racism.

"We covered this city for a living and love it, and we want you to know that what’s happening here is not normal. It’s eroding all of our rights and should be a warning to other cities that find themselves enveloped in an ICE storm."

Damn
The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

Sen. Curtis of Utah with Sen. Mark Kelly talking about extreme rhetoric and online incivility with Dana Bash. He is very upset about the tone. They talk about Trump. But nobody mentions that the other Utah Sen. Mike Lee is the nastiest, lying member of the U.S. Senate.

The question everyone is asking right now is this: NYT had deep access into all of this in real time and reported none of it. Why? In consequence, no NYT reporting on this subject is trustworthy.

The New York Times **HAD EMAILS IN ITS POSSESSION** tying Donald Trump directly to Jeffrey Epstein's global elite pedophile cabal conspiracy –– in the middle of a 2016 election where a global elite pedophile cabal conspiracy was a HUGE topic –– and they didn't publish one word it for a decade.

The deal to reopen the government didn't include ACA subsidies but it included giving Lindsey Graham the right to sue the government (read taxpayers) for $500,000. Graham opposed the subsidies & plans to sue for that $500k. Classic Lindsey Graham. SC can do better with @drannieandrews.com
Deal to reopen government allows SC’s Graham to sue for $500K. He plans to do it
U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham is one of eight senators who had their phone records subpoenaed from around Jan. 6, 2021, by special counsel Jack Smith.

I had the opportunity to review the work experience and skills of numerous people who were laid off or fired from public health jobs by Donald Trump.

I want every taxpayer to know that the US has lost an immeasurable number of the smartest, most experienced, and hardworking people on the planet.

If MAGAs thought they had any juice at all in their movement they would toss the (alleged) Pedophile in Chief overboard and move on with Vance.

They know they can't win elections without Trump, and are committed to covering up his historic crimes instead.

The disclosures thus far make clear that Ghislaine Maxwell perjured herself in her DOJ deposition to help Trump.
Ghislaine Maxwell lied about Trump never going to Epstein's house (directly contradicted by her email correspondence with Epstein), and she was rewarded for that lie with a transfer to a cushier prison. The coverup is happening in plain sight.

Here’s your daily reminder that, about a week ago, the president straight-up admitted he had no idea who he was pardoning—only did it because his sons told him to.

There’s a lot going on, but I still think that’s one of the biggest scandals in the country right now—and the media is just silent.

It's kind of funny how many people misspell Avi Wigderson's surname as "Widgerson".

Even one of his own published papers misspells it!

Black American soldiers literally dug these WWII graves. Traumatic. To acknowledge that fact at a cemetery they helped construct is something the Heritage Foundation cannot accept. As Veterans Day approaches, never forget that this country both compels and disrespects Black military service. Always.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

These are the people who forged Electoral College vote certificates and tried to pass them off as real, right in front of the whole country.

Maybe the most insane crime of them all.

Across Eastern Europe, they have what are known as "lustration" laws that do exactly this for people who were in the Stasi and its various equivalents. It's a model we should be examining.
Absolutely sadistic.

A Dem Congress should pass a law banning anyone who is currently serving with ICE or CBP from future Fed employment.

The Feds should condition all future Fed grants to police depts on blanket refusals to hire ppl who were in ICE/CBP right now.
Or Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee who’s been in America since he was two years old.

He was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE grabbed him

His health is declining, they won’t let him get his legs and they’ve placed him in solitary
