RFK Jr. just lied again, saying:

“The flu shot is an intervention that is often ineffective. It has a 20% efficacy rate. There are studies that show that getting a flu shot actually increases the chance of a non-flu infection”.

This man is a menace.

Holy shit. The FBI raided this woman's house with a helicopter based on the word of a "gait analysis" quack they found on X.

Why rolling back health equity training in medical schools is a dangerous failure that puts all patients at risk. Medical Schools Have an Obligation to Push Back Against Federal Pressure

Recently, the accrediting body for U.S. medical schools quietly published updated standards that no longer explicitly require med schools to teach about health equity.

In my piece, I argue that this rollback harms us all & that medical schools have an obligation to keep teaching this content.

Testing finds toxic metals where Tesla discharges wastewater The drainage district that commissioned the testing has sent a cease-and-desist letter to the company, which says it is in compliance with all requirements for its state wastewater discharge permit.

I’m shocked. www.texastribune.org/2026/04/21/t...

New Gas-Powered Data Centers Could Emit More Greenhouse Gases Than Entire Nations A WIRED review of permits for data center projects using natural gas and linked to OpenAI, Meta, Microsoft, and xAI shows they could emit more than 129 million tons of greenhouse gases per year.

NEW: I've been shocked by some of the numbers I've been seeing on behind-the-meter power plants for data centers, so I did a little math.

less than a dozen gas plants being built to power data centers for big tech companies could emit a maximum of nearly 130 million tons of CO2e each year (!)

Over the past 20 years, Seattle lost the Sonics thanks to the stewardship of Howard Schultz, saw dozens of stores close while the company engaged in apparent union-busting, and steadily reduced its local headcount.

There's coffee everywhere, Seattle. Spend your money elsewhere.

Supreme Court allows Texas to use redistricting map challenged as racially discriminatory Updated on Dec. 5 at 8:58 a.m. The Supreme Court on Thursday gave the green light to Texas’ efforts to be able to use a new congressional map favorable to Republicans in the 2026 elections despite a…

Last year, the President, concerned that playing by the rules would hurt his power over the people, pushed Texas to an off-cycle gerrymander. The state and fed regimes fought for and won the right to racially gerrymander for partisan gain. (Thread)

RFK Jr. just said that immigration is to blame for the outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases in the U.S., not him.

For the record: The Washington Post is run by partisan hacks who think we won't remember that they took the *exact* opposite stance when it was Republicans pushing their own gerrymandering grab in Texas last year -- *without* putting it up for a vote.

"Relax—he hasn't got to you yet." Herblock on Ike's passivity about McCarthy and his reckless anti-communist crusade, March 1954.

Are the women back there somewhere? Yes, I think I see them.

My hometown of Nashville -- a blue city which went about two-thirds for Harris-Walz in 2024 -- was gerrymandered by the TN GOP into three different districts all represented by Republicans now, so please get in line to complain about how unfair this all is, Virginia Republicans

Salt Lake City has almost twice as many registered Dems as Republicans. But for decades, the districts have been drawn to each take a slice of the city and suburbs.

Utah democrats have suffered for years without any representation in Congress despite controlling the state’s population center.

in honor of The Onion officially taking over InfoWars, what’s a conspiracy theory you 100% believe?

Michael Jordan was doing the exact same shit as Pete Rose (gambling on games his team played in) during his playing career and Nike+the NBA have…done what it took to keep that quiet.

Hey did you know that people were aware of why this was a terrible idea 120 years ago?

Jay Bhattacharya has ordered that a paper showing the effectiveness of COVID19 vaccines in preventing severe disease and hospitalization be suppressed and hidden.

This man has been crying nonstop about political censorship for 6 years.

But he’s the one who is actually doing it.

CDC won’t publish report showing covid shots cut likelihood of hospital visits The report, which had cleared the agency’s scientific-review process, had been delayed. It now won’t be published at all, people familiar with the decision told The Post.

SCOOP: Two weeks ago, the head of the CDC delayed publication of a report showing covid vaccine cut likelihood of ER visits and hospitalizations by half. Now that report is no longer allowed to be published in CDC’s flagship scientific journal. My latest. 1/2
