WATCH: Researchers at Stanford University modeled how many people could die or be disabled in 25 years if vaccines for polio, measles, rubella or diphtheria were no longer available.

Yes George Cinwaynsaid all
the right things on the pod but where is he on other issues. Is he pro choice? What about the Supreme Court? He has responsibility for its current configuration

Infowars’ endless afterlife The Onion may finally boot Alex Jones from his studio, but years of damage have already been done.

NEW: How exactly has Alex Jones avoided paying the Sandy Hook families a single dime of what he owes? I wrote about it here, and spoke to Chris Mattei, an attorney for some of the families, and Lenny Pozner, the father of the youngest child who died at Sandy Hook: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I’m praying that @gregsargent.bsky.social is not supporting @gtconway.bsky.social for Congress. Sure we’re all friends in the pro-democracy movement but that doesn’t mean I want Conway as my member in Manhattan

Alphabet: 8.01%
AT&T: 4.6%
Meta: 3.57%
General Motors: 3.09%
Amazon: 1.37%
Exxon Mobil: 1.31%
Disney: -1.57%
CVS Health: -3.88%

Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5%

This is what a rigged system looks like.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Josh Rogin: “Somebody shorted the oil market today by hundreds of millions of dollars exactly 20 minutes before Trump made his announcement—

If you see that once, it could be a coincidence. But that's happened at least three times, if not more, since the war began — that's a pattern”

He should be raking Schiff & Pelosi over the coals over Smallwell instead of alienating the voters. Plus release the autopsy before you say voters are the problem

Everything in politics is optics. This could be predicted a mile away

This is another Fetterman in the making

Behind Trump’s Public Bravado on the War, He Grapples With His Own Fears The president’s impulsive style has never been tested in a sustained military conflict, and he’s been ruminating on Jimmy Carter’s failure in Iran.

Very normal stuff.

"Aides kept the president out of the room as they got minute-by-minute updates because they believed his impatience wouldn’t be helpful...

We don’t want to hear about a $10,000 tax credit for starting new AI businesses.

Don't let anyone tell you that an area is too red or too far out of reach for our message.

Just look at how many people turned out on a Saturday night in April, in a gym in Oklahoma.

I don't think I'll ever get over Clarence Thomas ruling on cases related to Jan 6 knowing that his wife was an active participant in the attempted coup.

Or ruling on cases related to government regulations and a wealth tax knowing he took gifts from billionaires.

It's a disgrace.

The highly uneducated

I’m no fan of Comey but imagine him being in a video like this - imagine the shock

Donald Trump posted dozens of late-night, incoherent messages about the 2020 election while tensions with Iran escalated. Serious questions about his mental state continue to grow.

Pregnancy vaccine reduces baby hospital admissions for RSV by 80% A study confirms the vaccine gives excellent protection for babies against life-threatening chest infections.

Just sobbed hardest I have since my mom died in 2020.

She missed these trials by a few months.

In case you're wondering if we should fund mRNA research instead of another stupid war ... yes.

Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later.

"Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial: Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later."

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

If journalists had any integrity and courage, they would boycott the White House Correspondents Dinner. It should be as empty as a TPUSA event.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: “Here in Spain, we are approving and advancing a process to regularise half a million immigrants.

“And I want to say to the Right and the Far Right who oppose this: Spain is the daughter of migration and will not become the mother of xenophobia.”
