Mark Ruffalo: “It’s the crews. If you merge [Paramount and Warner Brothers] the first thing they’re going to do is start firing people and laying people off to service $78 billion in debt. They’re going to have to get rid of half the crews.”

Read the Co-Chairs' statement on the resignation of Department of Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer.
WELL NOW, would you look at that?
A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.
Why is the House not holding Bondi in contempt? Why is Oversight not holding Epstein hearings? Why is Oversight not doing more in this case?
Good Question! (1/3)
Flu spreads efficiently especially in close quarters like military troop lodging facilities. If you are in the military you are required to get several vaccines because of how devastating outbreaks can be to troops and also because they are more likely be targeted by agents of biological warfare.
A federal judge has issued a blistering 49-page written opinion vacating the Kennedy Declaration, that threatened to revoke all federal funding, including Medicare and Medicaid, from any hospital that offered gender-affirming care for transgender youth, a virtual death sentence for any hospital.
RFK Jr. just said that immigration is to blame for the outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases in the U.S., not him.
Pleased to speak to
@perrybaconjr.bsky.social about Trump’s choice between humiliation or escalation.

RFK Jr disses Rep. Debbie Dingell's voice: "I'm having trouble hearing that ... voice"
WARREN: That's not my question. Are you refusing to tell us if you have investments in vehicles set up by Jeffrey Epstein?
KEVIN WARSH: Those assets will be sold if I'm confirmed
The Southern Poverty Law Center, which is based in Montgomery, Alabama, was founded in 1971 and used civil litigation to fight white supremacist groups. The nonprofit has become a popular target among Republicans who see it as overly leftist and partisan.
This paragraph is a master class in media complicity in obfuscating the GOP’s racism.
Republicans don’t hate the SPLC because it is “overly leftist.” They hate it because white supremacists are their constituency and the SPLC points that out.
SPLC partisanship is incidental to antiracism.
BREAKING: The Southern Poverty Law Center says it faces investigation by Justice Department over past use of paid informants to infiltrate extremist groups.
"This is what Trump does, it's what he's done his whole life: He's bullshitting his way through everything. But now he's doing it with a war and it's not working."
Nice segment from Seth Meyers (with an appearance by our own @markhertling.bsky.social around 09:40).

"More than half of K-12 teachers who participated in a September 2025 survey said they had modified curriculum or class conversation topics in the previous year due to political pressure." www.kcur.org/politics-ele...
Sanctions relief in return for a moratorium on nuclear fuel enrichment is the exact arrangement that Trump and many Republicans criticized for years.

Ossoff: I don’t know if you saw, but JD Vance was in Georgia this week. Don’t worry—no one showed up. The stadium was empty.
Republicans know they are about to lose the House and are trying to give Big Oil its holy grail: legal immunity from any futures actions that would hold the industry responsible for the climate crisis it knowingly caused and is making worse every day.

This is a war based on lies
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Monday she would demand explanations after four US and Mexican officials died in an accident over the weekend, adding she was unaware of collaboration between the US and the local government in northern Chihuahua.
I knew about 2 of these. And none of this is about Trump family profiteering
Will be interesting to see whether the USG tries to condemn the vessel and its cargo via prize court or tries to rely on other domestic law authorities to forfeit the sanctioned vessel and its contents.

By a 6–3 vote, and with no opinion, the Supreme Court throws out a lower court decision denying qualified immunity who killed an unarmed, mentally ill man by using "bodyweight force" to restrain him. All three liberals dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...
SCOOP --> Paramount, Meta, and X are refusing to say what happened to their huge contributions to Trump's presidential library after Sen Elizabeth Warren raised questions about its fund getting dissolved. Ds say tens of millions remain unaccounted for.

S. 36 (1993), still correctly states the rule for the deference that courts must give the commentary to the Sentencing Guidelines.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court takes up two new cases for next term, including a case over Colorado’s exclusion of Catholic preschools from public funding.
The case specifically raises a question the court has circled around for years: Whether 1990’s Employment Division v. Smith should be overruled.
