Meanwhile, AG Pam Bondi was paid over $100k a month to lobby for Qatar and she is now making the decision on the legality of this bribe/corruption.The most disturbing/annoying part of that is Lipton, a very senior NYT reporter, apparently does not know what corruption is. You 100% do not need a provable quid pro quo for it to be corruption.
For example I wonder what Lipton's employer would say if he covered Qater as part of his job and he accepted a $400 million jet from them, even if there was no promise of favorable coverage. Actually, I don't. He would be fired.
Now, Trump’s new FDA commissioner, Marty Makary, is under pressure to restrict access to the drug. Pressed by reporters at the Semafor World Economy Summit late last month, Makaray said that he had “no plans” to review the status of mifepristone. But he added a crucial caveat: that he would reconsider the drug’s accessibility if new information emerged about the drug’s safety. “If the data suggests something or tells us that there’s a real signal, we can’t promise that we’re not going to act on that data,” he said.
As if on cue, a conservative thinktank published a new study just days later that purported to find that mifepristone caused serious adverse effects in more than 10% of patients. The study – which contradicts all previous tests of the drug and the resounding consensus of the medical field – was published by the Ethics and Public Policy Center, a rightwing advocacy group that aims to “apply the richness of the Jewish and Christian traditions to contemporary questions of law” and “push back against the extreme progressive agenda while building a consensus for conservatives”.
Nope, aware it exists but... worth a try you say?
It's only been in use around the globe for decades... but sure, the folks from a right-wing advocacy center have finally come forth with the true data that just happens to support the goals of Project 2025.Dammit, can't find the "Dobbs consequences" thread, so this will have to do.
Conservatives are trumpeting a new abortion-pill study. One problem: it’s bogus | Moira Donegan
The FDA chief suggested he wouldn’t crack down on mifepristone without new data. Conveniently, misleading research emerged within dayswww.theguardian.com
(I can't quite work out if this supports my distrust of "experts" and uncritical worship of anyone in a white coat who invokes the authority of 'science', or if it implies entirely the opposite position. Either way, not everything that claims that authority merits being taken at face value)
Easy question for anyone who's worked a real job in their lives, 'Would you be comfortable discussing this with HR?' If the answer is no, then get fucked, it's corruption.The most disturbing/annoying part of that is Lipton, a very senior NYT reporter, apparently does not know what corruption is. You 100% do not need a provable quid pro quo for it to be corruption.

I'd recommend watching the movie before the TV series.Totally
The episode with the vampire console was gold
Agreed.I'd recommend watching the movie before the TV series.
Doesn't matter what decision she makes. We can call it like we see it. We don't have to treat obvious things like they need special interpretation by lawyers or wizards in robes.Meanwhile, AG Pam Bondi was paid over $100k a month to lobby for Qatar and she is now making the decision on the legality of this bribe/corruption.
Did fox news really show a chart like that ?Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com)
Q: There are many people who fit the criteria of fleeing persecution. Afghans for example. But they're being denied refugee status. So why such an exception for the Afrikaners? TRUMP ADMIN OFFICIAL: One of the criteria is making sure they can be assimilated easily into our countrybsky.app
afrikaners good, people who actually helped us in a war are bad

Hey think about it Fox news is soooo bad these days one gotta ask ...I... you... *sigh*
No.
Yeseree!I'm trying to figure out this wonderful trade deal with china - on the surface it sounds like a lot of huffing and puffing and double tracking with returning to the status quo after a wild ride on the stock market but maybe there is something to it - he did get a nice pr out of it after all....

Is that a very old meme?
It's just that the "George Hamilton" reference feels like a real 'blast from the past'.
Though I actually remember that jokey reference from long ago, these days, surely, as the go-to-reference for an orange skin-tone, he's been replaced with... someone else?
are you....familiar with the average age of a Fox news viewer?
Yeah it's not the guy who attempted a coup and is openly defying SCOTUS rulings to send people to foreign gulags without due process who is a threat to the rule of law, it's the kids and their damn civics lessons.The top of the SCROTUS is quite sensitive, careful! It doesn't do well with harsh language. Get this, it's those damn ad homs by mouthy young people that are endangering the rule of law. It's their schools!
No word on the threat or current damage attributed to the fascist convicted felon in the Oval Office ignoring 9-0 decisions. I'm sure you're all quite shocked, as am I.
This is why you don't let insurrectionists get on the ballot you partisan chucklefuck, so go choke on those crocodile tears of yours Roberts. You helped get us here. And all you idiots had to do was point to the 14th and say, 'Sorry. Rools is rools.'
