I’m sorry I’m rubbernecking here, but my god. Olivia Nuzzi’s ex, Ryan Lizza, published a poem Kennedy supposedly texted to his then-fiancee.

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that?

We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

Some writing I did for Mad in America. I'm still learning this style of "report" writing and I'm not great at it yet, but I did get to go long on statistical significance www.madinamerica.com/2025/11/what...

i'm sorry but it's not because other people's expertise makes them feel bad
Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

real good thread. colin is right. i am writing a newsletter about this very thing as we speak :) stay tuned
It’s good to explain that the CDC is lying and vaccines still unequivocally do not cause autism, even if it just reaches one person on here who has doubts. But the fight is out there, not in here; and the time to let go of the information deficit model of science communication was decades ago

Disinformation is one way to understand it. It’s also, and I cannot emphasize this enough, marketing, because all these people are involved in affiliate marketing networks, and not disclosing the fact (here or on TikTok) that they are getting paid to promote this stuff
How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, there’s not even a plausible mechanism based on what we’ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy
HEADS UP: CDC website now officially asserts that vaccines may cause autism.“Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.” Also says the “vaccines do not cause autism” header remains b/c of an agreement with Cassidy.

The affiliate marketing HHS!!
Weaponization of the premier public health agency in the country for personal clout and gain. The CDC website should not be trusted given the fact that it is controlled by people who will profit from spurious and false attempts to link vaccines to autism.

everyone got mad at us (Pittsburgh DSA) when we declined to endorse Fetterman for Lieutenant Governor in 2017 but we were right! there needs to be a much bigger expose on his tenure as mayor of Braddock and how he used the office to benefit one guy: failed restauranteur Kevin Sousa
I present my review of "Unfettered," John Fetterman's memoir. In between petty grievances about doing his job, Fetterman asserts that he's feeling good.

Two days after "Unfettered" came out, Fetterman fell directly on his face from ventricular fibrillation, a life-threatening heart rhythm disorder.
John Fetterman's Memoir Is As Low-Effort As His Senate Tenure | Defector
John Fetterman’s just-released memoir, Unfettered, argues that he’s turned a corner and has everything under control. Fetterman was a “stubborn asshole” (his words), he was clinically depressed, he wa...

like there is nothing about Larry Summers that indicates he'd be any better at teaching "Multilateralism and Its Future" than the average econ PhD, *except for* giving students access to the same kind of corrupt elite networks that tied him to Epstein

I'm struck by this clip of former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz saying Holocaust education has backfired in part because people Palestinians as victims: "They think the lesson of the Holocaust is…you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people."
