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

Spike Lee is sitting courtside at the Knicks game in a Pope Leo jersey.
Very serious point here — media vastly overreport what Trump says rather than clarifying for the reader the actual strategic situation.
Go NY. Go NY. Go.
If you are worried about the trajectory of our democracy, what are you willing to do about it?
Overshooting 1.5°C looks likely—but it’s not game over. The key is limiting how far (and how long) we exceed it, then bringing temperatures back down with rapid cuts + carbon removal. Every fraction of a degree still matters.

PS/ Imagine spending weeks being told by Trump and corporate media that Iran has no boats, only to learn that 67% of its boats are IRGC gunboats capable of closing the Strait of Hormuz with ease. DoD got media to ignore this inconvenient fact until it couldn't be ignored anymore.
Now that we’re embroiled in war with Iran, it’s time we check in on this again.
Name one thing Trump has done that was not beneficial to Putin.
Today I heard someone from major media say, "Say what you will about Donald Trump, but you can always ask him questions."
See the issue there? Corporate media just needs *content to report*, and doesn't see that the content obsession Trump feeds is the poison that is killing it.
It's not so much that Pete Hegseth recited a fake prayer from Pulp Fiction. It's that he believes wholesale violence without giving quarter, not only to the military but also the people of Iran, is a just cause which has the blessing of G-d
It’s sickening that the “Secretary of War”thinks like this
At this rate, Trump is going to demand the Justice Department open a criminal investigation of the pope....Hello?
Kudos to Pope Leo for his moral clarity — and for not backing down. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/leo
There is no justification for today’s extraordinary concentration of wealth at the very top. It’s distorting our politics, rigging our markets and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people.
open.substack.com/pub/heatherc... Andrew Johnson restored the political power of Confederates. Donald Trump pardoned and commuted sentences of January 6 insurrectionists.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth quoted a fake Bible verse from blockbuster movie “Pulp Fiction” during a Pentagon prayer service.
7/7. It's worth dwelling on this point. It’s hard for Americans to process that their hard right politics is in large measure a Russian and Hungarian import — intellectually and also financially. We should take advantage of the defeat of Orbán to let this basic fact sink in.

if these clowns think the pope is too woke and "WEAK on crime" b/c he's against bombing school children, wait until they get around to reading about that Jesus fella in the New Testament
ERASING HISTORY: U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro asks court to vacate seditious conspiracy convictions of Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes and Proud Boys leaders Ethan Nordean & Joseph Biggs, despite jury findings of coordinated efforts to stop the transfer of power.
Vance Marching
JD Vance has so much to say—too much!—about world affairs, but the typical situation is he'll crash and burn. He busted stuff in Hungary, the would-be Russian satellite. And what would you say he accomplished in Iran? Now we have to endure an endless jam in Hormuz.

The same people who say the Pope should stay out of politics want to force prayer and the Ten Commandments in public schools
Whether it’s Barack Obama wearing a tan suit or Donald Trump portraying himself as Jesus in a white robe and red sash, both men made questionable sartorial decisions.
100% say that Trump is most definitely not the messiah
Magyar on Ukraine 🇭🇺🇺🇦:
"Everyone in Hungary knows that Ukraine is a victim of this war and no one should tell them under what conditions they should enter a peace or sign a peace treaty. We cannot tell any country to give up their territory.
He is mentally incapacitated and needs to be removed from office via one of the legal and peaceful means available to do so
We’ve gone from “I don’t care if they reopen the Strait” to “we’ll destroy your civilization if you don’t reopen the strait” to “well if THEY don’t reopen the strait then WE are going to blockade it ourselves.”
What an extraordinarily embarrassing moment for this country.
So far, Vance’s foreign policy record is yelling at Zelensky for not thanking Trump enough, campaigning for AfD in Germany and Orban in Hungary, getting rejected by the Pope on his invite to the US, and failing in the Iran negotiations.
MAHER: Russia's campaigning for Orbán and we're campaigning for Orbán. We're working with Russia on same guy to win election?
RIECKHOFF: We aren't working with Russia. JD Vance and Trump doesn't speak for most Americans on most issues, especially on issues like Ukraine, Putin, and now Orbán.
