Surprising fact: We are actually NOT seeing more food recalls this year compared with recent years. What we’re seeing is an increase in the number of illnesses caused by contaminated food. This is the largest ever cyclospora outbreak & third-largest foodborne illness outbreak of any kind on record.
“But Dana, if the Dems want my vote they could just be better.” No they couldn’t, because doing good things has no bearing at all on what people say about them. Biden did progressive thing after progressive thing for four years, and the entire left ignored it and, where necessary, lied about it.

Yeah, they are White Nationalists. This is an insult to every Black person to every put the uniform on. Doris Miller died being a hero for a country who hated him. The ultimate sacrifice.
Mark Chadbourn@chadbourn.bsky.social · yesterdayThe US Navy is considering renaming the future USS Doris Miller, an aircraft carrier honoring the Black sailor who became a hero during Pearl Harbor, and have discussed naming it after Trump instead, CNN reports.

Just two months ago, Xavier Becerra defeated billionaire Tom Steyer in the California gubernatorial primary despite Steyer spending $215 million of his own money to fund his campaign. I wonder if Bernie is memory holing that race because his allies at Our Revolution backed Steyer.
This last line. I see you, Haley. And I like you. PS: Elissa didn’t endorse her.

They have! They have filed impeachment articles for Hegseth and Kennedy. HALEY STEVENS filed articles of impeachment against Kennedy. QUIGLEY filed articles of impeachment against Hegseth. They have repeatedly condemned Vought and questioned him. Stop rage baiting for clout.
Simon Rosenberg@simonwdc.bsky.social · 2w agoImagine if Dems are part of the final CR negotiations demanded the resignations of Hegseth, Kennedy, and Vought.
The circumstances of this primary are a fucking trainwreck but I’m glad he’s saying this out loud.
I feel like we're probably gonna have to uhh clear the air with the anti immigration freaks when climate migration begins in earnest because you know they are not gonna be normal about it
Ariellah | אריאלה@sodone.bsky.social · 2w agoI guess a bunch of Moroccans swam to the Spanish part of Morocco? And everybody is saying it's Israel's fault for some reason and the left is basically doing a "migrant caravan" thing about it like Fox does with the US Mexico border where they make it out to be an emergency when people cross borders
I mean, I get it, you have heard theory summarized and think that makes you smarter than me (a person who studied political economy at a very left wing school), your brain must be positively bursting with reasons why destroying USAID and killing millions is actually fantastic.
So, Israel and Lebanon are continuing talks to hopefully normalize relations and find a way to defeat Hezbollah. Guess who’s against those talks? Hezbollah of course.
Your candidate won. So why are you all so mad? Some of you really still need to deconstruct that weird evangelical/MAGA home training. Good luck in November.

Just saw someone describe el Sayed's primary win as "seismic." Can someone explain to me how winning with a margin of less than a point is "seismic?" Does the meaning of words matter anymore? (Pic of Secretariat in the 1973 Belmont Stakes to illustrate what a seismic victory really looks like.)
If he doesn’t significantly improve re Black & Jewish voters he will lose. If he doesn’t humble himself & change his tune re how he’ll post memes for the future 2028 nominee & can’t pass legislation w/o the Senate, he can’t be surprised if those voters don’t see his singular seat as harm reduction.
