1/ In March 2025, shortly after his return to power, Donald Trump’s administration postponed the compliance deadline for the FDA’s Food Traceability Rule by 30 months. That moved it back from January 20, 2026, to July 20, 2028. We are now paying the price.

It's a choice when headline writers use the first names of female newsmakers instead of their last names. In this case, it infantilizes a 35-year-old.

Sigh. DSA endorsed a billionaire who got rich from private prisons and fossil fuels. And a pro-gun rapist. They have zero credibility. They are, like the right, focused on slogans and optics. And are shot through with anti-Black racism, sexism, ageism, antisemitism and homophobia. It’s too bad.

When the Times this month profiled Mr. Gordillo, who studied fine arts at Yale, the reporter asked him where he lived. The question was relevant, in part, because many of the high-profile activists are the offspring of affluent parents: www.nytimes.com/2026/08/22/n...

Am not including the article regarding what took place at the Chicago Sky's game last night. Not giving these jerks/morons the publicity they are seeking. At live games I have attended, never seen people, i.e., men, throw disgusting items on the court/playing field at men's sporting events.

Oh, snap, what an amazing idea!! The subsidies would be like, I dunno, food coupons or, say, stamps—people could exchange them for groceries, except that with today's technology you could give them magnetic stripes that could hold their benefits—electronic benefit transfer cards or something!!!
