RFK Jr's "MAHA" report is filled with references to studies that literally do not exist, or that completely misinterpret the studies' findings. “We did not publish a paper.. on this topic with that co-author group, or with that title,” says one cited researcher. www.notus.org/health-scien...

🚨Everything Trump has said about the Qatar plane is a LIE. Amazing story in the Post. - Qatar did NOT offer it, Trump requested it - Qatar expected a sale, not a “gift” - US Air Force says it’s in poor condition - $1.5 billion to make it useable - $500 million ADDITIONAL cost for Trump to keep it.

Editors, please assign a deep dive piece on the grave damage musk & doge have done to the United States, rather than how he’s feeling about it.

1/ If I were pregnant, or considering ever becoming pregnant, I would be so outraged at RFK delisting COVID vaccination. Not only are unvaccinated women much more likely to miscarry or have a stillbirth if they contract COVID but it leaves newborns, who are extra susceptible, extremely vulnerable.

For us locally, hitting 1.5C has produced two separate wildfire events near our home, a “hundred year drought”, & 3 feet of flooding under our hour last couple weeks from extreme rain, all in about a year and a half. 2C will have ramifications beyond what our minds are able to comprehend.

Reading about corporate lobbying against child labor laws in the 1920s and it's the same shit, they never change. It's socialism. It will destroy business. Leave it up to the states. Parents know better than politicians.

Do not listen to RFK Jr. on covid vaccines for pregnant people. Listen to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, which STRONGLY recommends a covid vaccine during pregnancy, for the health of the pregnant person and the fetus. 🧪 www.acog.org/covid-19/cov...

Biden tried to make community college free, but the Republicans blocked him. Because of Trump's dementia, he can't remember this and apparently most Republicans have caught his dementia.

Worth reiterating that while Biden’s speech was certainly impaired and he had health problems associated with being old, there is no credible evidence of cognitive impairment during his term. None.

It’s not possible for “illegal” immigrants to receive federal benefits like Medicaid. There are no examples of this happening; they just keep lying about it as an excuse to take healthcare from vulnerable Americans. I don’t understand why mainstream media chooses not to push back on this obvious lie

International students represent about 15% of all higher ed students. They subsidize US students, so expect domestic student costs to increase *Trump complains about tariffs but he is destroying an industry where the US is a huge net exporter www.nytimes.com/2025/05/23/u...

From the archive of "research proving the intuitively obvious thing": you should not use AI as your therapist. - AI facilitates self harm, encourages delusions, and fails to identify mental health crises - AI discriminates against people with metal health conditions - AI gives bad advice

The US Administration has indefinitely blocked all student visa applicants from getting a visa interview. Worldwide, unconditional, no end date. All. International students are crucial to the US university system, American innovation, and future US prosperity.

Don’t know who needs to hear this but claiming that you’ve prevented lots of really bad things from happening to our enemies is another way of saying that you’ve been aiding our enemies.

TY @motownrabbi.bsky.social for sharing this. tl;dr: The "sodomy" condemned in the Hebrew Bible isn't what Christianity told you it is. "God blesses Sodom with great wealth. Instead of deigning to share it...they decide to prohibit any help to foreigners." Which sounds oddly familiar rn 🤔

A huge step from HHS that is at odds with science showing significant risks for young children and pregnant women — and that directly contradicts the FDA's own publication from last week listing pregnancy as a high-risk condition that would qualify people for this fall's Covid vaccine

I cannot stress enough how much of a Def Con 1 moment this is. Federal judges fear that the President of the United States will stand down security for judges in retaliation for adverse decisions. This is such a huge story.
