Bad framing: ACIP voted to scrap the universal hepatitis B vaccine recommendation for newborns.
Accurate framing: Anti-vax conspiracy theorists appointed to ACIP by Robert Kennedy Jr., who made a fortune as an anti-vax profiteer, voted to expose babies to a preventable, incurable, deadly illness.

ah but you see sam, if the kids get liver cancer that just means they were meant to get it and Nature is doing its job
This regressive move will literally kill people. It's making kids' liver cancer great again. And it's a sign of more harm to come.

cool that the official position of the administration appears to be that black people don’t really count as americans
"The Donald Trump administration has changed which holidays qualify for free entrance to national parks, removing two holidays celebrating Black people and adding the president’s birthday."
National parks change prioritizes Trump birthday over days honoring Black people
Free entrance days at national parks no longer include MLK Day and Juneteenth.

The trick of Star Trek is that Kirk is not horny. *Gene Roddenberry* is horny. The tension between Kirk the character trying to do his job & the camera & production trying to get him laid, that's the key.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

I keep repeating this because it seems like a segment of the population feels like the United States Navy is actually Judge Dredd who has the authority to sumarily execute anyone they decide by themselves has broken the law, even if they're in international waters over 1000 miles from America.

Reminder that the penalty for drug smuggling under US law is 10 years to life imprisonment and a fine. It is not now nor has it ever carried the death penalty. Even in cases where loss of life is involved.
Even if it WERE, that is the role of a jury to decide, not the military.

Fun Fact: Activision claimed this show violated their exclusive license to the BattleTech IP for video games because it used CGI animation, which they claimed the license covered. It got tied up in a lawsuit long enough the show was cancelled and is the reason it never got a home video release.

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.
