Trump has led a sustained attack on food safety both terms. The USDA was gutted through relocation/restructuring in Trump 1, the food-labor force has been under constant attack under Trump 2, both farm- and meat-system assaulted through ICE, and food inspection through DOGE cuts. Protect yourself!

It’s getting harder to classify Trump’s whack comments purely as lies because they’re so obviously false. It’s looking more and more like he’s lost his grip on reality.
Trump will announce an agreement allowing Saudi Arabia to enrich nuclear fuel that will make it easier for the kingdom to develop nuclear weapons, in exchange for the Saudi's personally enriching Trump and his family. www.forbes.com/sites/sarado...
Trump Family Has Major Saudi Arabia Business Ties As Nuclear Deal Draws Scrutiny
The nuclear agreement was first reported Tuesday and Trump is expected to sign it Wednesday.

My man looks like Professor X if his mutant power was "giving people the creeps"
I try not to overdo this bit but ... my man is begging for it. Let's go.
PEIPolitical 🇨🇦@peipolitical.bsky.social · 2mo agoMiller: "It's not a coincidence that when you look at these violent Antifa demonstrations not one of the people that is demonstrating looks like a normal person. Not one looks normal. They're all deformed in some way in their appearance, in their dress, in their mannerism." #cdnpoli
Coming tomorrow…we’re pouring a shot of espresso to start your day ☕️ USWNT Olympic gold medalist, Washington Spirit forward and TikTok icon Trinity Rodman is back on the pod! 🇺🇸🥇
Donald Trump reflected on the death of Lindsey Graham by noting that Graham’s father died at a similar age, adding, “I’m a believer in the race horse theory. If you have problems, you have problems. And he had some problems.”
They want to be held in the highest regard -- a world filled with copaganda shows and Blue Lives Matter merch -- but they do not want to be held to the highest standards. Citizens must respect and revere the police, but when cops kill an innocent person, well, golly, that's just a big old oopsie.
Blue Heron Farm@blueheronfarm.bsky.social · 2mo agoI've already stated my position that firing your weapon, for any reason, should be the end of your LEO career. Thanks for serving. I think going after the wrong person on a warrant should be the same result. Did both? Automatic prosecution for negligent homicide at minimum.
There’s someone I know for sure is NOT a grown person in that room.
Mediaite@mediaite.com · 2mo agoDonald Trump claimed NATO leaders tell him behind closed doors, “Sir, we love you,” adding, “These are grown people saying that. Isn’t that nice?”
the track record of people with democratic campaign introduction videos that get people excited is kind of bad, be they "im just a regular maine lobsterman" to "im a former combat pilot"
I wish the “Freedom 250” wasn’t being shut down due to heat. But only because I want it to flop on its own merits.
The Supreme Court ruled today that states may ban transgender girls from school sports. Justice Kavanaugh wrote the majority. 25 states have now criminalized gender-affirming care for minors. The court that just upheld birthright citizenship spent the same morning legislating who gets to play.
The Supreme Court struck down Watergate era limits on coordinated party spending today, in a case brought by JD Vance. Justice Kagan's dissent warned of unlimited coordination between billionaires and candidates. Three rulings. One morning. Citizenship won. Children lost. Money won bigger.
I hope this can promote a reasonable and civil conversation, not finger-pointing or blame. But I think today's SC decision shows that not voting becuase you oppose a two-party system, or voting third-party, can have the effect of reinforcing it. What is the end game?
Glad I stayed up past midnight to watch that ass defense
Even Alexi Lalas is talking smack about Team USA. That said, Lalas would have a 0% chance of making this team.
Maybe play your best players, yellows or not, and just say “we’ll win in the next round, suspensions or not” I’m not joking… play the best team. Resting 3/9 best players because “what if” is stupid. They could just as easily get suspended in round of 16.
We’ve gone from “Americans Roast Turkey” to “Americans roast, Turkey” very quickly
Can you imagine a bunch of GOP reps signing onto a document preventing “conservatives” from running?
The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · 2mo agoThirteen Democratic House members and candidates announced their support for a centrist initiative aimed at pushing back against the party’s tilt toward democratic socialism.
Whoops. Who was the turkey who was supposed to be covering Türkiye?
He’s fully aware. He’s just testing the waters to say even more repugnant stuff. It’s not ignorance, it’s the scientific method. We’re the frog, he’s the pot.
Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · 2mo agoJD Vance isn't self-aware enough to know that Watergate only looks like a smaller story now because JD's boss is *exponentially* more corrupt than Nixon could ever be.
