Welp—CDC’s entire data team for its legendary national health and nutrition survey (NHANES)—our health census—has been laid off. Now we are flying blind to nutrition and chronic disease status in the U.S.—is this supposed to help us be MAHA? www.statnews.com/2025/10/14/c...

Seriously. Now it’s "do something disgraceful and monetize it."

Preach!

"What do you have to say about the capitulation that you participated in?"

Cory Booker clearly wasn't expecting the pushback he got from @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social

The hostages are out now. What’s to stop Netanyahu, with Trump’s blessing, from finishing off the destruction?

Trump’s everlasting peace in the Middle East held for 24 hours, so now he has to defend Hamas killing people to keep his Nobel Prize hopes alive.

It's not just about stopping Trump. Do you really think that if Republicans keep control of Congress that they're going to certify an election in 2028 if they don't like the results?

SCOTUS has been focused on chipping away at civil rights laws and policies for 20 years.

Today, the justices will hear oral arguments in a case that could represent not just another chip, but a fatal blow to the load-bearing pillar of American multi-racial democracy: The 1965 Voting Rights Act.

To everyone who says, "But this won't matter": *MAKE IT MATTER.*

You have that power! This is not inside baseball and your friends and neighbors will likely be appalled. And if they're *not* appalled, don't be cynical yourself. Take the lead, give the cue.

Journalists should all walk out in solidarity. They should have started doing this, consistently, during Trump’s first term.

“You’re ABC fake news, I don’t take questions from ABC fake news,” Trump said as a reporter shouted a question at him. “After what you did with Stephanopoulos to the vice president of the United States—I don’t take questions from ABC fake news.” trib.al/J0LdJLZ

They are adults who needed to think critically about their political choices. It has been obvious for decades now that the GOP and Trump do not care about working people or their health.

Ahead of the 2016 presidential election, coal country came out in droves to support Donald Trump, who promised a mining revival. Nine years later, some coal miners are saying they are in crisis because of the administration’s inaction on industry safety. trib.al/6I7k0Fx

We claim we want a village to face the struggles of parenting, Louise Perry says, “but I suspect that what we actually want is something closer to a paid service — a community that we can subscribe to when it’s convenient, and back out of when it no longer works for us.”

It's really not about politics anymore. The apparatus of the Republican Party has simply become a haven for bad people.

Just when you thought it was impossible for American corporate media to fail any harder than it already has for a decade now, it went and called a peace deal worthy of celebration something that was neither a peace deal nor even actually a deal nor really anything that meant anything lasting at all

Time owner Marc Benioff (and Salesforce CEO) just announced a few days ago that he's eager to start sucking Trump's dick full time. He even wants troops deployed to San Francisco. But as we see here, it's never enough. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

Ultimately, Trump’s desire to wield the military for his political agenda is startlingly like Egypt, which he showered with praise while celebrating the Israel-Palestine ceasefire.

Egypt is categorized as “not free” by Freedom House, and political opposition is nearly nonexistent. trib.al/QXPm3HX

They are pursing a "strategy of tension" but there's no red brigades to help them out. bsky.app/profile/sjsh...

“If Trump tries to invoke the Insurrection Act, I would prefer a situation where the thing that they’re pointing to is ... people dancing in inflatable costumes and saying, 'This is why I’m invoking the Insurrection Act,' and then pointing to, like, a unicorn and a frog and a squirrel."

The understood solution for the decline of print revenue, particularly for a paper with limited geographic footprint, was to build a national digital audience. The issue is less that the print number dropped than that the paper upended its national audience on a looooongshot bet.
