The Spokane fire conspiracy theories are almost identical to the Altadena fire conspiracy theories. These people have no understand of how fire works, how science works, or why some things burn. I'm writing a book chapter about it, but the people who need to read it don't read books.

The internet is filled with really dumb people who right now think the fires in Spokane WA were fake because the houses burned but trees didn’t. What they’re forgetting is that dead, thin, dry wood burns. Wet, dense, living wood is harder to burn. Old living pine and house vs fire: house loses.

RFK Jr's CDC reportedly scaled back foodborne disease tracking last year, removing cyclospora from mandatory reporting. The CDC also lost roughly 3,000 employees since 2025. Now a cyclosporiasis outbreak has killed 2 and sickened thousands across 45 states. "Make America Healthy Again."

A new Senate investigation says JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank and Bank of America processed massive sums tied to Jeffrey Epstein despite glaring red flags. Powerful institutions helped keep his operation running and every one of them must be held accountable. Follow the money, release everything.

Wait… what? The US is $39.8 TRILLION in debt. $168 billion of tariff money is only 0.42% Bessent is a dumbass mother effer if he thinks that $168 billion is even an interest payment 🤦🏻‍♀️

Bessent: "Here at the Treasury, I had $168 billion of tariff revenues that we're gonna have to refund. So when the Democrats scream, "Oh, the refunds should go back to the American people!', well, the American people had it, it was in the Treasury and it was paying down the debt."

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1987: The FCC rescinds the Fairness Doctrine, ending a 38-year policy. Let’s explore why it was enacted, what it did, and why restoring it would not be effective against today’s media bias. We’ll also look at some other solutions that are being considered. /1

FCC Chairman Dennis Patrick poses in his office with the FCC seal in the background. Patrick was the lead official in the FCC’s 4-0 unanimous vote to rescind the Fairness Doctrine on Aug. 4, 1987. The FCC found that the rule was unconstitutional and hurt public debate. However, the rule’s demise began in earnest in 1985, when the FCC under Chairman Mark Fowler released an extensive study called the Report on General Fairness Doctrine Obligations. The report concluded that the Fairness Doctrine violated the First Amendment and harmed the public interest. It found that the rule had a “chilling effect,” forcing stations to avoid controversial topics to escape paperwork and lawsuits. Photo credit: Cynthia Johnson / Getty Images.

Texans are finally waking up! James Talarico is favored to beat Paxton by three points in the Texas Senate race. Let's stretch that margin to 8 or 10 points.

Q: You’ve been Republicans for most of your voting lives. Who’s voting for James Talarico? Republican moms: *all raise their hands* “I like him. I want a middle school teacher who’s like, hey, this is broken. Somebody needs to fix it. Why not me?”

The left: we want the Epstein files The right: we want the Epstein files The center: we want the Epstein files Trump: best I can do for you is Fauci’s diary, some lies about the reflecting pool, and a failed war in Iran

Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.

How Trumpism is like Stalinism. A thread. 🧵🧵🧵 Many people make valid comparisons of Trumpism to Nazism. But I think MAGA authoritarianism bears more similarities to Joseph Stalin's Soviet Union – ruthless, paranoid, dishonest and determined to climb into every aspect of the lives of his people.
