How it started / how it’s going — Jay Bhattacharya edition.

2025: “We will never use this agency to censor scientists who disagree"

2026 : Bhattacharya “has canceled the publication of a study that found that the Covid vaccine sharply cut the odds of hospitalizations and emergency visits”.

Exactly. Blanche is the one who cut a deal with Maxwell to waive her sex offender status. He got her “out custody” and moved her to club fed. He’s the Michael Cohen of the Epstein era.

This may have been the whole point.

please continue injecting this shit into my veins

after literal decades of “suck it losers” preening from republicans every time they get called out for horribly gerrymandered bullshit the shoe is on the other foot and I simply cannot get enough

you want to end this? unfuck your own districts too

Spoiler alert: yes, you work for the bad guys

Anyone who shows up for this travesty is knowingly choosing to act as a prop for authoritarian kabuki because they’re too cowardly or amoral to pass up vapid schmoozing and free drinks. They deserve your contempt, and possibly a few pieces of rotting produce.

Aside from the fact that an indictment IS an allegation, what he’s describing here is the Southern Poverty Law Center hiring a person to do work for them. I mean…he’s accusing them of employing a person to do undercover work. Is it now illegal to be an employee? Utterly meritless.

I mean. They’d be innocent even if they WERE related, because that’s not how guilt works.

hoo fucking ray

which dorm

you should repost your post just to make sure his message gets out

I think treating them as unserious idiots is the way forward. Like, let actual adults run our country.

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—

AOC: Wah wah wah.

We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.

What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

Hegseth to the Troops: We Are Bringing Back the Flu! Grab your cough drops. We’re going to battle.

FLU-RAH

Just out here bragging about how effective the war crimes are

so I wasted all those Walmart gift cards?

Why do you not call it the American war?

Stable genius.

You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂

yiiiikes

L. Louise Lucas @SenLouiseLucas Remember when Republicans drew Virginia's Congressional map so Black people were packed into one district and said we should be grateful they gave our community this district. NOW they can have one district and see how much they love it. Image 8:04 PM · Nov 2, 2025 · 444.4K Views https://x.com/SenLouiseLucas/status/1985151099527942517

Two things can be true:

Congress should pass uniform, national legislation reining in partisan gerrymandering; and

Until that happens, or every state adopts an independent redistricting commission, neither party is going to (or, frankly, should) unilaterally disarm.

eloquence.

Texas redistricts without a vote, Republicans cheer.

Dems in Virginia respond by putting it UP FOR A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE, it passes, Republican cry foul.

Oh well. Good job Virginia!!

for the love of God I hope there's a word or two after Hakeem's last word.

The guy is committed to the bit of bringing Susan Collins' hand-wringing to a gunfight.

What is funny is California. The Dems preserved GOP seats in 2000 to avoid super majority and the GOP returns the favor with a non-partisan redistricting commission. Neutral redistricting wiped them out so they sued. Then the recent vote happened, further obliterating them.
