Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

1. Anti-trans outrage is losing its bite.

Last week, Elon Musk led a mass boycott campaign to get trans characters removed from shows on the platform.

Major conservatives joined in.

Now, we have the result: the boycott was a fizzle, and Netflix stock is up.

RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."

Here’s an angle for a journalist looking for a fresh take on the White House “Antifa” roundtable — most of the people who participated are employed by or have a direct financial connection to Turning Point USA. I think that’s pretty telling, no?

Populist economic policies grounded in the value of work and commonsense notions of fairness may be able to win over constituencies that have abandoned Democrats in recent decades.

There’s a problem though: the Democratic brand is trash.

Wow. Whereas Orbán treats Hungarian critical journalists and human rights organisations as ‘foreign agents’, he is now accused of Russian-style espionage within the EU.

Under the leadership of Commissioner @OliverVarhelyi.

If true, heavy measures must follow.

Saying "I deserve the Nobel Peace Prize" should pretty much be a disqualification in and of itself for winning the Nobel Peace Prize.

This pretty much captures the contradictions of the politics of Kirk and Turning Point: Of course we oppose doxxing and violence, but we will absolutely use inflammatory language, false claims, and enemies list that fuels threats and intimidation.

Several days after publishing the petition calling for Dr. Bray’s dismissal from Rutgers, the Turning Point USA chapter added an update saying that it did not support harassment or the doxxing of him or anyone else.

“I think that all death threats and doxxing are unjustified and not how political disputes should be resolved in civilized society,” Ava Kwan, a Turning Point USA chapter member, said in an email on Wednesday.
But she defended the broader point of the petition, saying, “I think Dr. Antifa, who believes in violence as a political tool, should be fired, of course. Taxpayer money should not fund the salaries of terrorists.”

For years, Turning Point USA has maintained a watch-list of hundreds of professors whom the group accuses of advancing leftist propaganda in the classroom. Dr. Bray is on the list.

Doing politics the right way is when the far-right regime in power memorializes a fallen influencer by terrorizing an academic that the influencer's McCarthyist organization once baselessly singled out for abuse.

Bibi’s BS push for Trump to get a Nobel prize.

This is what you do when you don’t think someone is going to get the prize, but you want credit for advocating for them.

Because anyone who knows how the Nobel Committee makes its decisions knows that this sort of public advocacy — particularly this imagery, not to mention the person advocating for it — is not the way to go!

An AI-generated image shows former U.S. President Donald Trump standing on a stage with his arms raised triumphantly while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu places a large gold Nobel Peace Prize medallion around Trump’s neck. Behind them, a blue backdrop reads “PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH.” Confetti falls as an audience applauds, and several people wave Israeli flags. The image is accompanied by a tweet from the official “Prime Minister of Israel” X account reading: “Give @realDonaldTrump the Nobel Peace Prize – he deserves it! 🏅🥇.”

trump II has made it blindingly clear by their actions that they are conducting a purge of the federal bureaucracy and the military based on race, based on gender, based on identity

this is about the opposite of promoting based on merit... unless you happen to be a white supremacist

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

🚨NEW PAPER🚨
We all know the 2022 energy price shock fueled the cost of living crisis. It also caused a profit bonanza for the very rich. We show the US reaped the largest profits ($377bn) of any country. 50% went to the richest 1%, only 1% to the bottom 50%. A🧵 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

River or sankey diagram showing the allocation of profits from global oil and gas companies to quantiles of the US wealth size distribution via financial system intermediaries, such as asset managers, and categories of ultimate beneficiaries, such as business owners, pension funds and shareholders in listed companies. The scale is hundreds of billions of US dollars, and ultimately 50.4% of profits reaching the US personal wealth distribution go to the richest 1% of households.
