Anti-abortion groups' latest strategy in their push to ban mifepristone is disguised as "advocacy": They claim that telehealth access to the pill enables abusers to force their partners to have an abortion.

FIFA president Gianni Infantino wants Trump to help him with the Red Card that he's getting.

Raw Story@rawstory.com · 2d ago

FIFA president Gianni Infantino is turning to the Trump administration to save his job after his plan to sell off part of the World Cup's commercial rights collapsed, the New York Post reported Monday, citing sources.

An important lesson given RFK's claims he's doing a "cooking show."

The only explanation for the fact-free outlandish claims by National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett, which he makes every day, is that he's definitely on drugs. I mean, look at the guy!

Hassett: "One of the metrics of shelter costs that I find most interesting is that they're going down pretty rapidly in places like California because everybody is leaving. Even though there are high prices in California, it puts downward pressure on inflation because everybody is leaving the state"

Yup. It’s a damn ghost town out here.

1. Last week, we revealed that the New York Post published a fake cover story claiming "thousands" of 9/11 families were trying to ban Mamdani from the 25th anniversary ceremony at Ground Zero. Instead of admitting its error, the Post quietly edited the article, adding even less credible info.

Also the Republicans were screaming that Fauci helped authorize vaccines for children, which is something every goddamn parent I know was praying for every day for more than a year and have been thankful for ever since. These people are all self-centered idiotic sociopaths, nothing more.

if you hated covid "lockdowns" try long covid

Cooked.

Two of my spouse's fellow teachers died from Covid contracted at the school where they all worked, early in the pandemic and before schools closed or other closings went into effect. That was more "unpleasant" for them and their families than what we went through.

Peter@notalawyer.bsky.social · 3d ago

it’s pretty obvious that a lot of people remember that COVID lockdowns were unpleasant and from there just extrapolate that they were therefore bad policy

Please stop saying “lockdowns.” There were never true lockdowns in the US, and it fuels far right narratives to repeat this inaccurate statement. You can say closures, you can say restrictions, or better, you can say public health measures which saved many lives.

Dr. Lucky Tran@luckytran.com · 6d ago

People still complain about “lockdowns” but we had none in the US. We had stay-at-home orders, where although businesses were closed, you could still go outside whenever you wanted. Other countries had far stricter rules, and yet have been much more accepting of them as they saved many more lives.

"James Carville Gets Ready to Leave the Democratic Party" is a headline prompting the reaction "Don't threaten us with a good time."

"Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all God's children." —Martin Luther King, Jr.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

I thought this was fake, but the hypocrite really did post this mockery. [Link to “TruthSocial” post in replies]

YouTube video by Aaron Rupar

After Max Miller’s statement, Bernie Moreno finally issues a statement denouncing Miller, saying he needs psychological help and should not be in Congress.

I saw yesterday that some right-wing outlets were running stories about me, which I’m used to. But this time I’m going to say something about it, because these were framed to imply that I was aligned with their own transphobia. ⬇️

Here's where the show's host should say: "If you don't stop lying, we're going to end this interview."

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3d ago

RFK Jr: We had the highest death rate from covid of any nation on earth BASH: That's not accurate RFK Jr: What I said was accurate BASH: There are other countries that had higher RFK Jr: When Fauci was mismanaging the pandemic, he was doing it under the Biden administration

The Republicans have been lambasting the quiet medical professional who guided us through COVID because they prefer the style of this roided up road rage case
