The NYT liveblog on the autism press conference is a fascinating read -- largely because it's written by health reporters and not political reporters. Look at how direct and appropriately shocked these posts are! www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

They're all afraid of being sued for libel. With good reason.
Finally. He spoke some truth. (About himself and his administration)
The @washingtonpost.com story on Tylenol & autism leaves out a MAJOR 2.5M sibling-controlled study of children in Denmark, which "found no evidence that acetaminophen use during pregnancy was associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD or intellectual disability." jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
Do you have more spines to send to the Dems in Congress?
Fetterman is the wrong Senator at this time.
Slower and more painful than being immediately killed by the continuous airstrikes and snipers. #endthegenocide
Ordered a hoodie in hopes that Alabama heat cools down soon.
Mamdani doesn't need Schumer's endorsement. In fact, probably helps Mamdani to not have Schumer or Jeffries endorsement.
Not hateful or bigoted at all......
Perfect summary of the poem 'To Be of Use' by Marge Piercy.
If they don't want to be called Nazis maybe they should stop acting like Nazis.
Yours looks like the opposite of mine. So hard to lose them.
And she was a pretty loud cat. Silence is louder. 💔
I feel same about my local bookstore here in Montgomery. (Which I frequently visit.)
Netanyahu's goal is to eliminate Palestinians. Period. He is a ghoul and a war criminal.
Wish this wasn't funny because it's also kinda true.
Went through similar angst about my 17 yr old kittie before having her euthanized 4 weeks ago. Heartbreaking even knowing it was the right, compassionate thing to do. Maybe this one is playing with yours in the kittie afterlife.
Oh, so we're friends with the Taliban again? Hard to keep up with allies/enemies scorecard.
It's #caturday so I get to post a photo of my recently-passed kittie. Miss her. #catsofbluesky
This is an agent of the US federal government, armed for live-fire combat against a modern army, slamming a passive and nonviolent female candidate for the US Congress into asphalt. Then walking away without checking if she has injuries, with his identity concealed behind a black facemask.
Dems would need spines for that. So far, not much evidence of that (except for a very few fighters we all could name).
Apparently the kool-aid is very potent.
It’s happening. The takedown of Jimmy Kimmel is likely the start of a campaign to use the murder of Charlie Kirk as a pretext to use the power of the White House to wipe out Trump’s critics and his political opponents. But we aren’t powerless. We can mobilize and organize. Now.
By the head of the Federal Communications Commission, in 2022:
But the authoritarian takeover will be televised and streamed live in 24-hour "news" cycles.
Very realistic
About that....I have some bad news for you/us. 🤯
I doubt a concurrence will be written. The 6 henchmen (incl Coney Barrett) are so bold & lazy that even concurrences will be left in the dust bin of history. The dissent(s), however, will undoubtedly be the last remaining pieces of truthful writing left when the aliens land from Mars (or wherever).
non-existent organization, it seems to me that in labeling all opposition as antifa - or anti-fascist, the Supreme Cheater is admitting he is fascist.
Did y'all see that 47 decided to designate antifa as a terrorist organization? The Regime-who-wants-to-be-dictator is clearly moving to label all opposition to him and his cronies as antifa. Notwithstanding the fact that no such 'antifa organization' exists, and no funding stream exists for the 1/2
The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”
What we now face is no rights, no remedies.
🤯
An abuse of power it is but he will never regret this. He has no sense of shame.
Are rural Tenesseans now able to vote in NYC elections? I'm confused. (Not really. After all, it's the NYT)
We are living in ugly, brutal, fascist times. #abolishICE
Bernie doesn't take AIPAC $ so I don't think there's any particular 'boss' telling him what to say. He's simply wrong on this point.
So they're 1980's Republicans, right?
If I wanted to see a podcast (rather than simply hear it) I'd watch YouTube videos.
I've noticed that pattern from him and the few others willing to now speak up re genocide.
Well, Bernie's only 75 yrs off on when the war began, but at least now he's saying out loud that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
OMG. He would be left back in 3rd grade for this presentation alone.
Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States (stokes the flames of hate).
BREAKING: The Charlie's Murderers doxxing website was just hacked and has been taken offline. I spoke to the hacker on the condition of anonymity. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/breaking-e...
It's gross misconduct to NOT mention race and the double standards that value white men more, both as victims and perpetrators, than people of color.
WaPo banner tag line should simply be 'Democracy dies.'
The banner tag line for @washingtonpost.com should simply read 'Democracy dies.'
I wrote my own Charlie Kirk obituary, and about valuing truth over manners: www.thenation.com/article/poli...
korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in
“If you can’t honor a man by quoting him directly because his own words seem disparaging to his legacy, then perhaps you shouldn’t try to honor him at all.” Watch my latest here: www.youtube.com/live/2Mv50KZ...
Is he aware that UC Berkeley provided a list of anti-genocide students, staff, and faculty to the FBI so that UC can maintain federal funding? I'd call that selling the soul of the University.
What a lovely piece, Sarah. Thank you for sharing.
Sad too for your loss. I've had and lost other cats but this one was extra special. I suppose I'll always miss her and carry her with me..
Harder than I'd anticipated. 😪
*but
It's #Caturday. My kittie passed 3 weeks ago after 17+ years of purring buy I probably have enough photos of her for several years of caturdays. #catsonbluesky
“Charlie Kirk in His Own Words” 17 quotes you should read from the right-wing activist and Trump ally who was tragically shot and killed on Wednesday in Utah.
More white supremacist than wild.
Yes but only to go catch their flights home.
Cowards and collaborators
This injunction soon to be lifted by the Supreme Six in a shadow docket decision.
Harris received votes from 30% of eligible voters and 39% did not vote. So, 69% of eligible voters did not vote for Trump.
The Supreme Court just ruled this meme is constitutional.
Slightly diminish a book The Good Gatsby
Thank you much.
Thank you. I was lucky to love her for 17+ years.
Yay! I'll keep an eye open for that post.
Wish that I could. Too far away. If anything is left at day's end, maybe sell online?
He's turning the WH into one of his tacky resorts.
Thank you. 💔
What Democratic leadership???? Mostly cowards, capitulaters, and collaborators.
My Willow passed 2 weeks ago. She was a very good kittie. #caturday
He needs to start wars in order to stop them. That's the (il)logic.
Sworn or unsworn, in the before times he'd be prosecuted for lying.
He was unsworn. So he was merely willfully making false statements to Congress, a felony punishable by up to 5 years in prison. 18 USC Sec. 1001.
If only there were a procedure for impeachment and people willing to use it. But only the first half of the prior sentence is true.
47 prefers blowing up Venezuelans in their speed boats.
An admission of war crimes being/will be committed. What a country we have.
It's the well-known common law tenet of authority to murder people without due process (or any evidence) called 'Because I said so.'
Bought and paid for by AIPAC.
"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone." — Michael Okuda How quick we forget.
And with total ethnic cleansing the goal and program in Gaza, Israel is functionally taking over from the river to the sea. #freePalestine
Jeffries won't even support the person with actual programs for more affordable housing in his home state: the Dem candidate for Mayor of NYC, Zoran Mamdani. Jeffries is not worthy of anyone's trust here.
Even if/when he speaks publicly, he's still incapable.
We have one. His name is Hakeem Jeffries.
Vote blue. Every time.
And the Bible says: Faith without works is dead.
Could be a wake.
Thoughts and prayers.
Or it will happen on another day that ends with y.
This feels very un-American. Pledging allegiance to a foreign nation. One that's committing genocide. Sickening.
Been a week since my girl passed,after 17+ years. I miss her every minute. #stillheartbroken
They left out the last word of the phrase: American Workers First FIRED.
He's speaking from personal experience.
The Confederacy is rising again. With a vengeance. This time, fascism is its cause.
'Retired' is French for 'No.' Well, maybe that's not entirely (or at all) true, but it should be. Enjoy the choices you have ahead.
My girl had the best 17+ years with me but that doesn't lessen the grief of losing her last week. Maybe she'll welcome the pup to the other side.
She's back home. Sort of. 💔
Well...at least it used to be unconstitutional. We'll likely soon find out if it still is.
