Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992. Was there a breast cancer epidemic?! NO. Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976. PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something. This is also about autism.

Scientology, which obtained its tax exemption by harassing the IRS with private investigators and targeting individual IRS agents with lawsuits, still retains its exemption despite a raft of easily provable criminal conduct.

Among other cuts made by the federal government? A 57% reduction to the CDMRP program, but not spread out evenly. No, they ZEROED out funding for lung cancer, spinal cord injuries and glioblastoma. Lung cancer is the #1 cause of cancer deaths. www.magpiemusing.com/2025/04/in-w...

As @brendannyhan.bsky.social always says “what would you say if you saw this in another country.” The answer? NYT would probably call it what it is.

Fox News will not report this. The Trump admin will not acknowledge this. But this is truly remarkable news.

I have tariffed the penguins that are on Heard Island and which you were probably assuming did not export goods forgive me they were taking advantage of us so cunning and so cold

So let me get this straight—Trump hit places with NO people and NO trade with the U.S. with tariffs… and it’s literally just penguins out there? PENGUINS???

Caught up on #ThePitt. As an ER charge nurse, I know that mass casualty events are a constant, avoidable reality. Hopefully the show illustrates to even one person the physical and emotional damage from gun violence and moves them to vote for a safer reality for all of us. @everytown.bsky.social

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

"Diversity is our strength," said Mr. Grenell. "We must welcome EVERYONE." Was that irony, or does he support DEI? www.nytimes.com/2025/03/17/a...

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

Deep irony, unmentioned by the Times: Petrushka, a Russian work, is the story of the loves and jealousies of three puppets. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/13/a...

Anyone who finds this even mildly amusing is the worst of us. As Americans we should be collectively ashamed and those around the president need to find some decency and courage to stop this.
