Let’s be clear about what’s going on here: They knew this story would hit, may have even been the source. It’s an effort to intimidate people into thinking it’s too risky to work the polls, too risky to vote. Do not bend the knee here. If you haven’t already, register & volunteer

Katie Miller has a master's degree and a career. It appears that she has consistently worked since she was 20. She can open a bank account, own property, and have a credit card in her name. She has access to no-fault divorce and would be entitled to child support for her baby if she and Stephen Miller divorce. She has laws protecting her against physical abuse and rape by her spouse. She had access to birth control and abortion, meaning that having a baby was a choice.

She is very much not living the life that the "propaganda. . . convinced" women was oppressive. She is living the life that feminism made possible.

Of course, she knows this. She's just a liar.

Ansari: I didn’t think I could be shocked by anything he does, but he was literally handed a bipartisan housing bill that would lower costs on a silver platter. It was such an easy win for him at a time when he’s so unpopular because of his cover-up of the Epstein files and this illegal war he screwed up. He could’ve said, “I did this big housing bill,” and because he is so committed to rigging the election, he chose to blow it all up. Their party is a mess. Trump is a joke.

There are ten Jewish senators and six Jewish governors and they are all Democrats!

JD Vance: "I think Nixon's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and deservedly so. I joked that if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story. The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy."

I can't figure out if vaccines work or not.

Tough one.

Need Sherlock Holmes on this one.

Casey, this is what happens when wellness rhetoric collides with public health reality.

Hepatitis B is not transmitted “only by sex and needles.” It spreads through blood and body fluids, including mother-to-child transmission at birth and household exposure in early childhood. When infants are infected, about 90% develop chronic hepatitis B, which can lead decades later to cirrhosis and liver cancer.

We learned this very clearly in Alaska Native communities, where hepatitis B once caused extraordinarily high rates of chronic infection and liver cancer. Beginning in the early 1980s, universal vaccination programs were implemented, and we now have over 40 years of follow-up data.

The result: childhood hepatitis B infection in Alaska Native populations essentially disappeared, and liver cancer in vaccinated cohorts dropped dramatically.

That’s why the United States moved to universal newborn vaccination in the 1990s—because screening parents alone missed infections and children were still becoming chronically infected.

Calling this “insanity” ignores one of the most successful cancer-prevention programs in modern medicine.

It’s easy to cast suspicion on vaccines from a podcast microphone. It’s harder to argue with four decades of epidemiology.

There is a profound sickness in the United States just now.

The Trump Administration's choice to end their "Shield for the Americas" summit with the Monty Python Flying Circus theme march is inspired. I take back everything bad I ever said about the regime

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

I'm in favor of letting people wear what they want and not taking photos of strangers in public to post on the internet for chiding. That's the real social faux pas, not wearing pajamas at Costco. Menswear for me is just an aesthetic hobby, not a moral system or obligation.

I resigned from OpenAI. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn’t an easy call. AI has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I’m proud of what we built together.

The White House officially adopts and publishes the Big Lie on its website. It can’t be overstated: these people are the most dangerous group on Earth to the health and freedom of our republic. Not immigrants, not foreigners, not foreign nations. Them.

Love how they all claim that the Susan Wiles piece was a hit piece they had no idea about.

Despite the fact:

-it was 11 interviews
-with full audio recording
-they *all* posed for pictures for it
-multiple of them gave background interviews on it
-it went through fact checking

Just in: Florida-based Unusual Machines, a little-known drone company backed by Donald Trump Jr, said the US army had contracted it to manufacture 3,500 drone motors, alongside various other drone parts. https://t.co/7tgpoLaeIn

Hey @EWErickson you may have deleted your old tweets and forgotten them but don't worry: I found them for you

Weird to say it, but John Bolton is absolutely right here

Oh my… Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell just corrected Trump’s math on national television, live, and called out his disinformation.

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

i disagree. the original bond had refined taste. tate's various wardrobe choices — here, a striped charcoal suit jacket with navy worsted trousers, business clothes with no socks — are clumsy and reveal a lack of understanding of what he's wearing.

I’ve never seen flooding like this in Jersey. New Providence, NJ
