RFK Jr is now targeting mifeprostone & is reportedly planning to target HPV vaccination next (he lies, very dangerously, when he says cervical cancer is more common in vaccinated women)

Yup, RFK Jr & his physician allies, like Drs Bhattaharya & Makary, are pushing right wing misogynistic politicsπŸ‘‡

Spain MEP Irene Montero: β€œSend your son, Donald Trump β€” If you want war, send your own people to the front line. We in Spain want our children, our daughters, & our loved ones at home, safe. We don’t want war β€” those who want war should send their own children”

You talked to one source who told you that Mojtaba Khamenei was the most dangerous man in the world. Why did he say that?
This was a guy who had actually studied with Mojtaba Khamenei when they were students together. And his memory of studying with Mojtaba was that the guy was laser-focused on the end of the world, apocalyptic questions. And he thought that Iran had kind of a mission from God to bring about the end of the world.

A group of religious zealots in the US government see the bombing of Iran as part of their God’s plan to bring about the apocalypse, and their actions have resulted in Iran appointing a new leader who sees his historical mission as bringing about the end of the world. So it’s all going to plan.

Trump endorsed GOP candidate Brandon Herrera tonight.

Here is Brandon recreating the assassination of MLK and then shooting the target dummy at close range.

He then chuckled and said, β€œThis is so fucking wrong.”

A dumb war makes Trumpworld dumber Tracking the inane MAGA responses to the White House's war frivolity.

War is an extreme action and, thus, triggers extreme reactions. Including extreme stupidity. It’s always dishearteningβ€”or ought to beβ€”to see what should be a last resort comes to pass. (cont.)

Pardon my french, but this forecast is fucking absurd.

Parts of San Francisco could legitimately flirt with 90 degrees Monday and Tuesday, which would shatter the March record (87F). The city's earliest 90-degree reading is April 6, same with Oakland, in 1989 and 2016, respectively.

The problem is, everyone I’ve spoken to in MAGAworld content creation β€” comms staff, influencers, whomever β€” knows their identity. In off-the-record conversations, people will simply tell me their name as soon as I ask the question, as they’re familiar with the memelord’s style from interactions in the disappearing MAGA group chats. (I do have to pause for a second and acknowledge that the meme zoomers have better opsec than the senior officials who did Signalgate a year ago.) But the moment I ask if they’d be willing to go on background about it β€” surely they aren’t Nazis, and shouldn’t they call out behavior in their own ranks? β€” sources immediately clam up. If I prod, they’ll shrug it off as everyone’s just having fun.

So @tinanguyen.bsky.social has spent weeks trying to identify the person at DHS who posts all the racist memes, and instead uncovered a fascinating code of silence: everyone in Trump's Washington knows who it is, but refuses to say. Gift link! -> www.theverge.com/column/89298...

I do find it interesting that the AIPAC shadow PACs are going after non-front runner candidates here in Chicago.

They went after Kat Abu in #IL09 and that was a sign that she was gaining momentum. Now they’re doing the same to Jason Friedman in #IL07.
