NEW: Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”

Dr. Frances Oldham Kelsey refused to approve thalidomide in the US, saving thousands of babies from devastating birth defects. Her success despite gender bias-she was initially hired at the FDA partly because her first name "Frances" was mistaken for "Francis" #WomenInSTEM tiny.cc/x14j001

"Incidentally, the president’s sudden push for the tourist destination of Alcatraz to once again become a maximum-security prison complex came just hours after a South Florida PBS station aired the 1979 classic film Escape from Alcatraz. The president spent the past weekend... in Palm Beach."

Stuff about how DOGE cuts are hurting veterans and retirees, how DEI mania is removing important parts of history and making us worse, stuff about children suffering in Gaza and Ukraine due to foreign policies, and all over the world because of the end of USAID. But every time I think I’ve found one

The GOP pitch is "short term pain for long term pain." This is exactly how QAnon worked - things will be very ugly and bloody for a while, but it has to happen to usher in the golden age of wealth and freedom. The GOP is running the QAnon playbook for the entire economy.
SANCHEZ: What do you tell your constituents when you hear auto makers say that the cost of certainly vehicle is gonna skyrocket? It's gonna jump upwards of $12,000 because of these tariffs? REP. LISA McCLAIN: I tell them to relax ... it might be a little uncomfortable
This is not an original take, but what dirt do you think they have on @schumer.senate.gov ?

I am having a baby soon and I swear if I have to drag my newly post partum butt & incredibly vulnerable newborn to a Social Security field office to make them a Legal American Human while there is fucking bird flu and measles and MAGAs running wild…my wrath will be limitless and all consuming.
The Trump admin canceled contracts with Maine's CDC supporting "enumeration at birth" -- the way 99% of American babies get their Social Security Numbers. Now Maine parents have to visit field offices in-person to get their newborn SSNs Why? No reason given. www.huffpost.com/entry/maine-...

I know we all kinda knew that the Dems were just Rs with (slightly) better social skills, but the mask is really coming off as far as anyone believing there is any real Opposition party in this country. “Sorry bout the fascism, it’s your fault for not voting hard enough.”
US House voted 224-198 to censure Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) Republicans 214-0 Democrats 10-198 (with 2 Ds voting "present")
My mom (and a lot of her white middle class boomer age friends) STILL firmly believe that this is all political theater and nothing is going to actually change. Because it hasn’t effected them yet, and so anything they hear about other people being effected must be an overreaction or hysterics.
MIL just told us of a relative, a mom, who has a trans child. She voted for Trump, so her kid moved out (obvi) and now the mom feels she has “egg” on her face because she “didn’t realize it would be so bad.” And I have a lot of questions, structural, about how this is not an aberration.

I left an abusive relationship decades ago, but the second Vance started talking about how Z should be grateful I felt my body shut down. It was like I was 16 in that locked car again. Trying everything I could to get out of the situation but knowing exactly how it was going to go. Fuck that noise.
