Meta's response will probably be something like "our product doesn't work without an algorithm"

I think MAHA is very straightforwardly the triumph of the snake oil salesmen and the way we beat it is the same way you always beat snake oil salesmen: regulate their claims
one of the things that pisses me off most about the Trump administration is that it’s literally just affirmative action for Nazis I know some incredibly smart, accomplished people working in mid-level roles under Biden taking pay cuts meanwhile the ticket to the top now is just being a Nazi freak
Edward Wong@ewong.bsky.social · yesterdayNEW: Nate Hochman was fired from the DeSantis campaign in 2023 after promoting a video with the Sonnenrad, a Nazi symbol embraced by white supremacists. He now works in Rubio's State Department, as deputy director of policy planning and chief speechwriter. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/09/06/u...

My dad and all his ex-USAID friends got together for drinks last week. Hundreds of years of experience working against the tide to save millions of lives. Just a bunch of do-gooder nerds. All replaced by yes-men and nazis or both, their good work left to rot in the sun.

The hiring of Nate Hochman, who lost his job amid an uproar over a video containing a Nazi symbol, underscores the administration’s willingness to overlook past transgressions.

I know this is a common belief, but it’s not true. If people went anti-vaxx/MAHA because they were excluded from the medical establishment, we would see sky-high rates among poor people, minorities and the uninsured. We don’t.
Dr. Katherine Haenschen@drkath.bsky.social · yesterdayEh. This strikes me as a very top-down Man-flavored response that doesn’t take into account how women (esp. Moms) wind up in MAHA spaces. Many MAHA-adjacent Moms are there because they have been talked down to & dismissed by medical establishment when they raise real concerns about their kids. 1/
The administration has gone back to the Supreme Court again, asking it to lift the latest block on the USPS mail-ballot rule. This is the third time they’ve asked SCOTUS to step into this fight.

Republicans might still lose half the seats they gerrymandered to flip
With some gerrymandered seats looking much more competitive than they hoped, Republicans are wondering if mid-decade redistricting can actually save their majority.

something is wrong with our politics if a politician freely makes fun of his voters out loud
The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · yesterdayRepublican @RepJamesComer on why he won’t do town halls: "If it's all the village idiots, I don't have any desire to do a town hall.” When they tell you who they are, believe them. (P.S. this is also why @MarshaBlackburn hides 🐔 — as local media lets her)
Two-thirds of NYC’s income growth since the pandemic went to the top 1%. The richest 0.001% — about 50 families — saw their average income soar from $315 million in 2019 to nearly $600 million a year. It’s time to build a city that works for everyone.
Also note that Miller never mentions "legal" or "illegal." A very seamless transition from opposing undocumented immigration to opposing ALL immigration.
Bill@bill-of-lefts.bsky.social · 2d agoEven from a purely national pride perspective, this requires you to think that the 100 year period from 1926 was a failure for the United States, instead of the zenith of its power, prosperity, and influence

A man from Amish country bet on the U.S. Open, then sent the USTA a bomb threat. Things will only get worse.
He wanted to keep his money, and the only way to do it, he thought, was to disrupt the tennis match. From his Lancaster County home, he had thumb-typed and sent the threat to the USTA.
