This is from UPI's piece on the FDA's move to review mifepristone. They're reporting on debunked 'research' as if it's real! The truth? It's not peer-reviewed and was published by an anti-abortion group that admits it's trying to "eliminate" abortion medication.

Democrats obeyed in advance on trampling trans civil rights and directing cruelty toward immigrants. The attacks and erasure on all minorities are going to continue on all fronts. Never sacrifice other peoples' rights.

@edzitron.com is joined by Carl Brown, a veteran software developer and host of The Internet of Bugs, to talk about the realities of software development, what coding LLMs can actually do, and how the media gets it wrong about software engineering at large. www.iheart.com/podcast/1119...

there’s a valuable lesson here for democrats in that voters want politicians to be bold and clearly stand FOR SOMETHING but i have a feeling democrats will continue opening TACO trucks in front of the white house or begging for war with iran instead sadly

IF IT AIN’T FDIC INSURED, DON’T MAKE IT YOUR PRIMARY BANK THE FDIC EXISTS TO PROTECT CUSTOMERS FROM BANKS GOING UNDER. PRIOR TO THE FDIC, IF A BANK WENT UNDER, YOUR MONEY WENT WITH IT.

Every college leader should take note of why Ono got rejected by UF's Board: despite his craven and public abandonment of his previous DEI advocacy, they still thought he was too "woke." The lesson: no amount of self-abasement or eagerness to sell your community down the river, will ever be enough.

This is a real problem

PRO PUBLICA: Of the 238 men sent to an El Salvador mega prison, only 6 had prior violent crime convictions. 0 were on the gang member list. 130 had no criminal history. 32 had minor offenses. All 238 thought they were being sent back to Venezuela. www.instagram.com/p/DKcjM7FPhz...

As i noted here, Trump is trying to cover up the purging of non-whites from the federal workforce by refusing to share demographic data donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-politi...

The speed with which the mainstream institutions and load bearing media orgs have folded is unbelievable. If there is a chance for libs to control them again in the future, they should be treated as what they are: dogs that have to know their place. This is the language they love and understand.

I've decided to turn any hate towards this into a positive. Every time I get flipped off or thumbs down for this flag I'm gonna make a 3$ donation to www.thetrevorproject.org at the end of the month. #Pride #QueerTrucker #TheTrevorProject #LGBTQ

"lean, deployable disaster force" is 100% Silicon Valley/VC-backed growthbro talk for something that will absolutely fail and protect those it's entrusted to

They want us to die.

Lynn Segal a 72 year old woman wearing a Free Palestine shirt was among those who got attacked in Colorado by that fire tossing asshole. But sure tell me more " for the cause" nonsense ya fucking tankie loons.

BREAKING: The opinion of a random person you just encountered online is not, in fact, the universally embraced belief of "the Left" or "Liberals" or whoever else you'd like to paint with a broad brush. More as this story develops.

Is there a way to text 0 to STOP an entire party's messaging strategy?

A reminder that the New York Times, from top to bottom, from stem to stern, is composed of awful people. Except for Jamelle Bouie.

Tapping the sign

There's still basically no evidence for Musk "stepping away" from politics besides his own claims, yet the Times keeps repeating the lie to help him - sometime contradicting their own reporters. Don't print lies in the newspaper.

Musk’s cuts are killing Veterans. Veterans WILL die because of this. And the administration is lying about it. MORE: www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

whenever there’s a story like this, I go check to see if FIRE has said anything, as a treat

The fake ads are the best part of @theonion.com's print edition

@gallego.senate.gov had a fundraiser with this nitwit, and now Gallego has come out as anti-trans. Mr. Sinema is a giant piece of shit.

The Presidents Budget Request for NASA is out. It’s a bloodbath Canceled are DAVINCI, VERITAS, Juno, OSIRIS-APEX, US participation in ExoMars and EnVision… Huge cut to R&A. No funding to begin development of the Uranus Orbiter. If you’ve ever cared about NASA, time to contact congress.

These are the guys who want to take over our universities
