NEW: Babies Are Bleeding to Death as Parents Reject a Vitamin Shot Given at Birth The vitamin K shot, a lifesaving injection given to newborns to prevent uncontrollable bleeding of the brain and intestines, has become collateral damage of the anti-vaccine movement.

The Wellness industry has the same greed as the biomedical industry but nothing it sells you actually works

Aside from the embrace of Wellness Eugenics I think RFK jr's moves all make sense if you are trying to destroy actual medical industries and replace them with wellness snake oil. We can all agree on the greed of the former but at least they create actual usable products

this is very funny as well as good evidence — you know, beyond what we can see with our own eyes — that there is not some epidemic of anti-white discrimination

So just to check the till: Works in Nevada Works in Missouri But from Arkansas Sure, Jan.

Now, you might say, "What about all the knowledge we'd lose if we push all the abusive geniuses out of academia?!" But I'd counter and say, "Well, what about the knowledge we've already lost from the budding scholars whose careers they've derailed with their abuse?"

every one who tries to use trump for their fifteen minutes of fame should suffer a life time of indignity tbh

Trump’s war is sending oil prices soaring and Big Oil is cashing in. Families pay more at the pump. CEOs profit. That’s not energy policy. That’s profiteering. Instead, I’m advocating for a tax on big oil windfall profits, and for oil execs to cut their pay.

NFL greed is truly next-level

Don’t let this fly under the radar: the Trump administration wants to kick ~6 million more people off of food assistance programs, including nearly 2 million children. That would save just $1 billion a year, while Trump spends upwards of $1 billion per *day* on his new forever war. Priorities.

Mind you, while he’s driving this country into a ditch.

This has been the GOP's "starve-the-beast" scheme for nearly 50 years. Meanwhile, millions suffer and struggle to get ahead as the rich get richer. See the problem here?

Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

The mask is completely off. You can’t meet these people in the middle. We’re not working toward the same goals. They hate America. They hate democracy. They hate freedom. And they hate you.

It's just unreal how little thought or planning went into starting a new massive war in the Middle East.

CNN taking a systemic legal violation and reframing it as a disagreement. The Pentagon did not receive a scolding. It was caught breaking the law.

Remember that Biden literally handed Sen Langford the pen to write the border security policy, which he did, and then voted against his very own bill because Trump told him to so he had that issue to hammer Biden with…

Oh. So they want Obama’s nuclear deal minus Obama’s signature. Got it.

The richest Americans saw their net worth soar 120% from 2017 to 2025. The top 1% now control $55.8 trillion in assets — more than the G.D.P. of the United States and China combined. Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

I mean...weren't we told for months and months that a position that Kamala Harris took on trans rights due to something The Groups allegedly forced on Dems practically doomed her singlehandedly?

Huh. Glad to see NYT finally admitting to this.

Oh. Stage an assassination attempt, you say? Interesting.

Brian Beutler is too cavalier here, and misses how dominant the US has been in science, how much of the enterprise is now threatened. Knowledge creation is a fragile ecosystem. Science that shuts down in the US doesn't just magically reappear in other places. Some practical knowledge will be lost.

"What Trump has done to scientific research in the US is a tragedy and a crime, but he isn’t king of the world and thus can’t snuff out innovation or make us forget what we’ve already learned and created." @brianbeutler.bsky.social is good Against Fatalism www.offmessage.net/p/optimism-i...

ICE detention deaths are now occurring at a rate of roughly one every four days. Three weeks ago that rate was one every six days. The pace is accelerating, and Congress has not launched a single investigation.

everything theyre saying now they said during iraq

If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.

My team and I have been anticipating this for months. It is unconstitutional and illegal. The media should note: Last time he issued an EO about voting, we sued and won. If Trump issues such an order we will sue again and we will win again.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

They’re committing horrifying atrocities, and they are also living large on our dime. Kash going to the Olympics, Noem buying herself luxury jets. They want to be famous celebrities.

Oh, they "expected something like this to happen," just not to them. If you don't want "inhumane" things to happen to your family, maybe don't vote for the people promising to do inhumane things to anybody. www.postandcourier.com/columbia/new...

Leonnig: "The whistleblower says in Dec. 2025, when there was a mass shooting at Brown U, Kash was on his FBI director jet in FL & there was only one other available jet, but Patel ordered it to be put on standby for another team. That meant an evidence review team had to drive through the night..."

A whistleblower just disclosed that FBI experts were delayed by AT LEAST A DAY in deploying to investigate Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Why? There was an FBI plane and pilot shortage… because Kash Patel was using them for personal flights.

Ofelia Torres, the teenage Chicago Public Schools student whose fight against cancer while her father was detained by ICE came to represent the federal government's overreach during Operation Midway Blitz, has died. Brave young woman. I will never forget her. RIP.

This is somewhat more of an old-fashioned ICE ruse. Arguably this is a sign of the agency going back to more standard “targeted enforcement” tactics designed to be not as disruptive as the more recent aggro-style arrests. Watch for more like this to come.

A billionaire bridge owner meets with the Commerce Secretary — hours later Trump is threatening Canada and trying to block a critical bridge that would cut into that billionaire’s profits. The corruption of the Trump administration is staggering. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/10/w...

The Department of Homeland Security has had to correct information provided to at least five states after its SAVE voter tool misidentified some voters as noncitizens, according to correspondence between state and federal officials. With @texastribune.org
