- Maybe don't share that actual racist image, ok?
- Please, everyone just remember that before he was against Covid vaccines, Malone staged a full court press to try to claim credit for having invented mRNA vaccine technology. The evidence points to revenge.
- Performative scolding! The perfect phrase to describe a lot of what goes on here! (if one more person posts about how dare you still be on Twitter....)
- Reposted by Maggie FoxEvery American needs to watch this:
- GAH!
- Seriously. We allow so much crap to be sold. Just to be clear: This is crap.
- Reposted by Maggie FoxComing out tonight—about 10PM ET—is the most important report I’ve ever written on Trump and Epstein. It began with a deep dive into the Epstein Files, once I learned that my work appeared in them several times. What I found changed forever how I see the Epstein Scandal. I think it will for you too.

- Reposted by Maggie Foxi know that this is an unpopular take, but everyone starting their own newsletter as a revenue stream is not a sustainable model for writing and reporting or for people who love and want to pay for media.

- Reposted by Maggie FoxA combination of capitalism, corporate media failures, and anti-journalism propaganda has convinced a lot of people that journalists exist to turn a profit. They no longer seem to realize that the purpose of journalism is for them, the people.
- Reposted by Maggie FoxBring back honor. If you are in charge of an organization and send an email detailing this many failures in its strategic vision, you need to resign at the end of it.
- Reposted by Maggie FoxA publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world
- Can I just say: This is everyone's fault. This is the fault of people who complain when I post a link to an article that is paywalled. (more)
- Whether she smiles is not the point, of course. Women were not put on this planet to smile for men. Or at men.

- Reposted by Maggie FoxMany people at NIH have contributed to speaking the truth about US biomedical science and what is happening. I'm sure Jenna would say she is just one of those — but she is someone that should inspire everyone.
- Reposted by Maggie FoxHere's an opportunity to support the other journalist arrested today; Georgia Fort, who will have far fewer resources available to her than Don Lemon.
- Georgia Fort's is chilling, and it's being overshadowed by the equally chilling arrest of Don Lemon. A GoFundMe is being set up for Fort. In the meantime, you can support her work directly – without paying massive fundraising platform fees – through her website: www.georgiafort.com/support
- Agree we need people less dependent on driving. But I spent 2 hours shoveling snow off street corners today and I saw multiple cars run the stop signs today. Every single driver running a stop sign, most of them cell phone in hand, was middle-aged or younger. (more)
- Reposted by Maggie FoxOnce again: they cannot simply announce this in a press conference. They would need to change the laws, which the majority of parents in Florida oppose.

- It's very dangerous. Roads are bone dry for cars, while pedestrians slip onto busy roads because snowplow drivers piled ice onto sidewalks. Who thought that was a good idea, @montgomerycountymd.bsky.social ?
- Reposted by Maggie FoxBIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps. This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — literal warehousing of people. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

- Reposted by Maggie FoxThe government’s arrests of journalists @donlemonofficial.bsky.social and @bygeorgiafort.bsky.social are attacks on freedom of the press. Two federal courts flatly rejected prosecuting Lemon, but instead of accepting that humiliating defeat, the government has now doubled down. Read our statement:
- Reposted by Maggie FoxThe arrest of my friend and colleague Don Lemon is an outrageous attack on the First Amendment and free speech in America. This cannot stand.
- "Whatever you do or don’t do, you will get shit from some people."
- Reposted by Maggie FoxThe US withdrawal from #WHO became official today, leaving the world less prepared for dangerous disease outbreaks. “When that will bite us in the ass, it’s impossible to predict. But there is a 100% certainty that it will bite us in the ass,” one expert told me. www.statnews.com/2026/01/22/u...
- OK we need more articles like this: "Does it work? No." www.theguardian.com/wellness/202...?
- “This is such a strange decision with no clear rationale. None of it really makes sense."
- Reposted by Maggie FoxThis is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

- Reposted by Maggie FoxInsurance companies are not the primary driver of health care costs. It's hospitals. But, it’s also not clear that we’re getting a lot of value from insurers in driving down health care costs.
- It's more than the "cost of doing business." With an infectious disease, especially one as contagious as measles, the more you have circulating, the more chances for people to get infected. "Your choice" becomes everyone else's choice, too.
- It's a hard test!

In my latest paper I correct the record. SS is not going bankrupt but we'll need to revisit it soon 🧵 rooseveltinstitute.org/publications...
- I did, and they are not.
- Reposted by Maggie FoxSix medical organizations plan to ask the courts to throw out the revisions to the childhood vaccination schedule released by the CDC. The revisions aren’t based on scientific evidence, they based on misinformation. Public health is at risk. 🧪🎁🔗 www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/h...

- Governments that have spied on me and my reporting (that I know of for sure): China. Libya. Serbia. Bahrain. What wonderful company for the US to be in.

- Yup.
- And you need news organizations with the cojones to fight the very expensive legal battles. It's one thing to fight a lawsuit -- which is very, very expensive. Imagine supporting a jailed journalist and their family through, possibly, years of litigation.
- BTW this is not the first time people have had to prove this. There is not a lot of voter fraud in the US.
- Seriously - no reason to spread ANY germs, no matter which virus or bacteria are causing your symptoms. It's never "just a cold" for a lot of people so keep it to yourself, stay home, wear a mask and open a window if you possibly can.
- This is government intimidation. It goes along with physical intimidation of "disrespectful" but peaceful protesters. Don't let them get away with it if you want to live in a free country.
- The FBI searched the home of a Washington Post reporter seeking classified state documents. Nothing she wrote about could be considered classified. They simply want to suppress dissent via intimidation. Don't let them. Here is what she wrote. Please share. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
- This is intimidation, plain and simple.

- It's not taking sides when you report accurately that there's not an evenly divided "debate." And Bhattacharya has revealed a lot about his motivations in these remarks.
- I don't approve of Faust's characterizing his posts as "news" (he is not a journalist) but this is interesting.

- Murkowski joins NC's Tillis in denouncing DoJ. Two GOP senators who have little or nothing to lose but, still.
- We need to point out every time that these are tactics that should only be used in life or death situations when seeking desperate fugitives known to be armed and imminently dangerous. That is clearly not the case here.
- OMG look at all those chemtrails focused right on the US Capitol!
- Reposted by Maggie FoxTrump’s attack on Fed already starting to backfire. Republican Sen. Tillis: “I will oppose the confirmation of any nominee for the Fed—including the upcoming Fed Chair vacancy—until this legal matter is fully resolved.”

- I have to say, I would very much like to join a gang of Deluded Wine Moms. Where do I sign up?
- OMG YAY!
- "Linked to worse outcomes" is jargon for this: people who eat more meat have higher rates of heart disease and cancer, and factory farming is helping destroy the climate and environment. And you do not need to eat meat or dairy to be healthy.
- Meat-heavy diets, promoted by RFKJ’s new upside-down food pyramid, “have repeatedly been linked to worse outcomes. “The new food pyramid is simply bananas,” Michael Greger, a physician and founder of NutritionFacts.org, told me. “If nutrition guidelines were medicine, this would be malpractice.”
