Real person (exactly what a bot would say). Midwesterner. Humanist. Married. Loves music, movies, and video games (order changes weekly). No longer pessimistic about our chances, I’m certain we aren’t going to make it.

The CDC denied a request from California, Hawaiʻi, Oregon, and Washington to validate a high-volume measles test, citing “other priorities.” 🤨

Our investigation into allegations of data fabrication at the firm SoCal Strategies, and an alleged association with the admittedly fraudulent firm Wedgewood Polls, has resulted in the pollster wiping itself from the face of the earth. Full story at 50+1: blog.fiftyplusone.news/p/more-polls...
NEWS: The website and social media accounts for pollster SoCal Strategies have been taken offline after FiftyPlusOne reached out to the firm Tuesday to verify data quality and potential ties to Wedgewood Polls, which admitted to fabricating data this week. blog.fiftyplusone.news/p/more-polls...

@apnews.com , do better! “marriage fraud ring that netted a half-dozen people in Massachusetts millions of dollars. … conducting as many as 20 marriages … Each marriage cost an immigrant from $38,000 to $40,000.“ 20 * 40k = 800k. Millions?!? Really? 🙄 apnews.com/article/marr...

Listened to a BBC news summary this morning on NPR. They talked about the North Sea oil field expansion. They described opponents of the expansion based on environmental concerns as “climate worriers”. Really BBC? Really? @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social

Incredible. The Wall Street Journal doesn't credit independent jornalist @marisakabas.bsky.social for breaking this story. Except it's not so incredible since this happens all the time. Follow her and subscribe to her newsletter, The Handbasket!
How did you find out the young man’s identity, @wsj.com? hmm?

The press continues to fail our democracy. This article did everything it could to belittle and dismiss the protests, including being positioned waaayyy down the page. apnews.com/article/no-k...

MO voters, pay attention! Vote YES on Amendment 6. Vote NO on all the other amendments. The wording on the ballot is very confusing. If you dont know what they are about ahead of time, you’ll likely vote in a way you’ll later regret (and that is by design).
Missouri Republicans control virtually every lever of state government, but voters and the courts keep getting in their way. Now the GOP is targeting the systems that give both their power: the state’s judge selection process.
This is how 🍊💩 won in 2016 and 2024. No vast conspiracies, just a few tech billionaires leaning, heavily, on the scales of public opinion. Remember this the next time you log on to your social media accounts.

Please, if you have any association with any musk product, ditch it!
Zelenskyy says Starlink restrictions REMAIN in Ukraine, crippling interceptor drones and military operations. He says Ukraine has evidence the restrictions are DELIBERATE after testing Starlink systems in the EU, where they worked perfectly at speeds that cause connections to fail inside Ukraine.

So we are clear, "Russia Russia Russia" was *never* a hoax.
(Reuters) - The order to limit a satellite system used by Ukraine for battlefield communications and drone operations came from inside the White House, according to two US officials and a Western official briefed on the matter. @reuters.com 🇺🇦 www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Career staff at the CFTC were investigating suspiciously timed trades surrounding Trump’s announcement that the U.S. would not bomb Iranian power plants. Then a senior adviser to Trump’s CFTC commissioner told them to back off. Could this administration get any more corrupt?

News we all can use.
As seen on @lastweektonight.com 👀 The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so we did it instead. Use information from your prescription label to locate the factory and see if the plant has a history of inspection violations: https://projects.propublica.org/rx-inspector/

Why isn’t this the headline? 🍊💩 is directly, explicitely violating the law. How many people even know that? “Congress explicitly banned Russia energy imports in 2022 to prevent the United States from financing the war.” (Deleted image of 🍊💩) apnews.com/article/trum...
