More Americans are exposed to polluted air in the United States. See where. An estimated 33.5 million children in the United States — or nearly half of people under 18 — live in an area that received a failing grade for at least one measure of air pollution.

More than 150 million people across the U.S., including nearly half the nation’s children, live in areas affected by harmful levels of air pollution, according to a new report.

Like sick people don’t matter. Aside from the lie, it’s eugenics. Gross.

“This was not a disease that was killing healthy people. It was killing sick people”.

GOP Senate candidate Hung Cao warns of 'witchcraft' happening in California: 'We can't let that happen in Virginia' Cao, who was the GOP nominee against Democratic Rep. Jennifer Wexton in 2022, also said he was "African-American because I grew up in Africa too."

Not a big deal — it’s not like the U.S. Navy has any large-scale operations going on right now or anything.

What a 5,000-mile long marine heat wave means for summer in the U.S. It could boost temperatures, humidity and the threat for tropical storms in the West through summer.

A massive ocean hot spot is stretching across a 5,000-mile swath of the Pacific. It has the attention of climate scientists, who say it could boost temperatures, humidity and the threat for tropical storms in the West during the months ahead.

Burchett is right: the most DC thing ever *is* a member of Congress blaming the city for something he and his colleagues did themselves.

Why don't they ask poll questions on these specific things? Do you approve of Pres. Trump sending taxpayer money to the UAE? Did you approve of Pres. Trump sending billions to Argentina? Did you approve of Kristi Noem's new sex jet?

Might be a way to inform his cult what he's up to.

New: The money the U.S. has spent waging war on Iran would have been enough to save 87 MILLION lives around the 🌍, according to the U.N.
 
This is a profound moral failure. Congress must restore funding for life-saving aid and reject even a penny more for war.

Trials. From top to bottom, the whole chain, from the White House to those pressing the button.

Trump told you he’d run America like a business.

He is.

It’s called asset stripping. You sell the profitable pieces, gut the workforce, load it with debt, and walk away rich while everyone else holds the bag.

Congratulations. You didn’t elect a president. You hired a liquidator.

ICE in Chicago this morning at Elston and Kennicott—a masked agent tells a witness (on the sidewalk) not to get in front of his car.

Feds are continuing kidnappings across the city & burbs after increased activity this month.

No flashy CBP caravans, just a steady stream of covert ICE arrests.

I did not vote on redistricting that my governor did on behalf of Trump. I live in Austin, Tx. My new district stretches to Odessa, Tx. It's 300 miles away. I am extremely happy that Virginia and California are redistricting.

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

Yes. The hymn frequently sung and taught to children:

King of Kings and Lord of Lords,
Glory, hallelujah!
Jesus, Prince of Peace,
Glory, hallelujah!

i think it is cool that the president of the united states routinely slurs black people as biological inferior

Oh there’s a long section in this textbook on The Bell Curve too, in which students are throughly introduced to its arguments and encouraged to debate whether they think there are “population differences” in intelligence. Critiques of TBC are mentioned but then this is how the section ends

US evolutionary psychologist Kevin MacDonald (1997) suggests that the trade-off between mating effort and parental investment is a central dimension of reproductive strategies that range from a high parental investment/low mating effort to a low parental investment/high mating effort. US psychologist Jean Philip Rushton (1985) used such an idea to develop his differential K theory. Within this theory, Rushton suggests that life history might be useful to understand human individual differences by looking at individual and group differences in life histories, social behaviour and physiological functioning. He referred to the central dimensions that represent the trade-off between parental investment and mating effort as K . US psychologist Aurelio José Figueredo and his colleagues (Figueredo et al., 2005) examined Rushton’s idea of K and MacDonald’s idea that K might be related to personality among a group of 222 university undergraduate students. First, Figueredo and colleagues had to measure K . They found that a number of variables correlate to measure an overall K -factor. These variables are as follows.

Happened to be reading a psychology textbook yesterday, and was astonished to find uncritical discussion of work by Kevin MacDonald and Philippe Rushton. Is it typical in psychology textbooks to cite race scientists without mentioning their work has been discredited?

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

The number of Republicans crashing out about getting nakedly gerrymandered is, unironically, a sign that we need to do more of it. You guys are correct! This shit sucks! Welcome to the party, pals! We can all stop doing it any time you like!

Ruby Bridges is 8 years younger than the President.

A small fluffy kitten with a green collar. She is mostly black, with some smoke colouring around her chest and white guard hairs down her legs. She's sitting on her bed of blankets and looking up above the camera. She is impossibly cute.

One (1) perfect little cloud puff. Greengage is so adorable.

The best thing about bottle kittens is you can raise them to think all kinds of stuff is normal. Like belly kisses and being applied to my face, and all the good socialisation stuff.

💯
Trump negotiated surrender to the Taliban during his first administration. His supporters don’t get that. He betrayed the legacy of our troops. Now he betrays and endangers our Afghan allies.

Guess America won't be fighting any wars during flu season.

Way to tell the enemy when our military readiness will be at the lowest, Pete. 👍
