Trump's FDA Pick Won't Rule Out Reclassifying IUDs Dr. Heidi Overton appears to be saying that as head of the FDA she’d reevaluate whether IUDs are birth control at all. This is the agency that approves and labels every contraceptive in America. mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#in...

About fucking time someone did something on this. On Tuesday the United Kingdom announced a series of sanctions against Israeli settlements in the West Bank. They were joined in this by Canada and France. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/brita...

The US is a shitshow, but good things are happening. --Deaths from diarrhea and gut infections have more than halved in this century. Enteric infectious diseases killed 2.66 M people in 2000. In 2023 that number was down to 1.27 M. The Lancet-- substack.fixthenews.com/p/350-uukhai...

And more weirdness. Just how many kids are having problems??? Supreme Court Denies Catholic Mom’s Bid For Son’s Vaccine Exemption . . . The mother argued she would be forced to relocate her children to Florida in order to enroll her child in a school if her request is denied.

On Lawyers, Guns & Money Alex Pretti's murderers have been named: Per documents reviewed by ProPublica, the two agents that fired the shots were identified in government records as Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez. Renee Goods' murderer was IDed quickly, now these 2 gun-happy killers.

I really don't the ins and outs of this, but the Feds will no longer protect species now on the Endangered list, and the states can't afford to do it. This means development heaven, apparently. However, doesn't it take more than 2 years for big projects? And the election is in November.

I called Tom Massie's DC office and got a person. My complaint was Massie's non-releasing of names, and the staffer said that was because survivors Massie's met with don't want more names out. I called bullshit, the staffer said Massie wanted DOJ to release names, I called bullshit again.

Why is fossil Chuck Grassley attacking Biden's pardon attorney rather than looking into Blanche's fitness for AG??

I finally figured out what the orange rapist is doing. If he gets Iran (or someone) to bomb us he'll be a war president and can eliminate elections. I hope Congress pulls its head out of its collective ass and prevents this. Although arms dealers make big political donations.

I like DSA, but prefer Jared. "The DSA has endorsed Oliver Larkin in a challenge against Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) to represent Florida’s 25th District, a previously Democratic-leaning seat which state Republicans redrew earlier this year to favor the GOP." www.huffpost.com/entry/oliver...

For approximately 200 7ears, Black people in what would become America were enslaved by whites. Yet you would never know about this long and horrific era of U.S. history if you read the 85-page document about historical heroes that a MAGA-aligned group put out. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Drones have been killing soldiers and civilians in Ukraine for years now. What makes this different is that machines advanced, applied pressure, forced a surrender, and then held ground. That’s terrain seizure, and that has always required boots on the ground. www.wearethemighty.com/tactical/dro...

and hospital admissions - but now we have the first official figures, from Burkina Faso, one of the world’s ten highest burden countries. Between 2024 and 2025 malaria cases fell by 32% and malaria‑related deaths by 44%. That’s in a single year.

We have the first national-level evidence that the malaria vaccines are working. With the exception of COVID-19, malaria vaccines have seen the fastest rollout in history; they are now in routine use across 25 African countries. Anecdotal data has suggested substantial reductions in severe cases

I don't pretend to be any sort of legal person, but why does the House Oversight Commission need G. Maxwell to testify about Epstein?? She will lie. There are the files that have been released, there are the survivors, is law enforcement so incompetent they can't run an investigation from there?

Malawi is reporting measurable declines in maternal mortality as safer childbirth helps more women. The health ministry says maternal mortality fell to 225 deaths per 100K live births in 2024, down from 381 in 2020, with 97% of women now delivering in health facilities with trained staff. Now USA.

The Swalwell mess shows any man if they want to get laid just go to California and hang around campaigns. The women are eager to get so drunk they won't realize what is going on, and then the men can just leave the state after and no complications.

Ok, I like Katie Porter but I never expected this: "Multiple women accused Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), one of the top contenders to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom, of sexual assault and misconduct in two bombshell reports Friday." www.huffpost.com/entry/eric-s...

Do you think your fellow citizens are principled people? If you live in the US, you probably don’t. Most Americans (53%) rate their fellow citizens’ morality and ethics as somewhat or very bad, per a study from the Pew Research Center. And that makes America exceptional—in a not-so-good way.

So I finally see why Epstein may bring Charles 3 down. All the adult royals knew what was going on. Liz protected Andy for as long as she could, the nasty harpy, then died. I didn't see how Andy's crimes could affect Charles, but if Charles KNEW and did nothing (bingo) then he may be vulnerable.
