How sad is this? The CDC closed its FOIA office, so this story could only be published because a Danish journalist provided Rolling Stone with the documents, after obtaining them through a freedom of information request to the University of Southern Denmark

HHS Gave a $1.6 Million Grant to a Controversial Vaccine Study. These Emails Show How That Happened
Two Danish researchers faced accusations of “questionable research practices” as RFK Jr.’s top appointees made their study a “funding priority.”

Not sure how to summarize this one. Wrote about the podcaster-occupied government invading for content, how the algorithmic internet is governed by the logic of reaction videos, and how it has contributed to a very nihilistic illiterate politics and culture of performance for imagined audiences

A scorched boat washed ashore on a remote beach in Colombia. Then mangled bodies. And then empty packets, a few with marijuana traces. We matched the physical and digital evidence to a U.S. airstrike — and found a fishing community terrified to go to sea. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/29/w...

It's straightforward to find what Trump actually did say on January 6.

First he said they were going to walk down to the Capitol (which BBC used).

And cheer on our brave Senators and Congressmen.

Then he made it clear that the ones he meant were strong Republicans prepared to overturn the result.

There seems to be some *confusion*
among Reform supporters over Nathan Gill being one of them

“But, but, Reform didn’t exist when he took his Russian bribes”

“But, but he was in UKIP”

“But, but it has nothing to do with Farage, he barely knew the guy”

So here’s a little history lesson 👍🏼🧵

The H1-B visa thing is, like everything else in the Trump administration, set up to carve up exceptions for friends and punish enemies. It’s the authoritarian thru-line that stitches everything together.

Even without considering the pardon aspect, is Trump's line going to be: 'This convicted sex trafficker says I wasn't doing anything dodgy when I was constantly hanging around with her and her partner in crime' ?! Surely even the very dumbest of maga rubes are going to find this a bit suspicious
Was this before or after they promised to move her to Club Fed and dangled a pardon? Not that it really matters, but I'd still like to know, just for completeness.

Here's the very disturbing part of this

The timing and Trump's knowledge:

Year 2000: Epstein-Maxwell "took" Virginia Giuffre from Mar-a-Lago

2002: Trump said most infamous line about Epstein being a "terrific" friend and liking "younger" ones

Only in 2004: Trump rupture with Epstein
Reporter: You’re saying Epstein poached two of your staffers?

Trump: Yeah, he took people and because he took people, I said don’t do it anymore—they work for me. He took some others and once he did that, that was the end of him. When they steal people, I don’t like it
