If you're keeping track of the long list of things this admin's done that flies in the face of MAHA, censoring and ultimately losing the top intramural nutrition scientist studying food processing and health is definitely towards the top.

Toxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.

Revered producer at 60 Minutes resigns rather than cede editorial independence to corporate execs bowing to Trump. Three career prosecutors resign rather than abdicate ethical duties in subservience to Trump. Principled stands amid dangerous and darkening clouds. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/22/n...

1/ Donald Trump has abandoned legally mandated US and international efforts to hold Russia accountable for its war crimes in Ukraine, in an apparent undisclosed favour to Vladimir Putin. ⬇️

submitted 1 day ago • 19 comments

It isn't a surprise that an administration with little respect for domestic law is happy internationally to offer impunity to Putin & his fellow war-criminals, but it is another sad sign of US abdication from its leading role in the democratic world. Europeans must do what they can to fill the gap.

NEW from @nytimes.com: A bone-chilling account. A Venezuelan man detained alongside the 238 sent to El Salvador on March 15 seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. His name isn't among the names of those sent to CECOT that day and no one spotted him among those men. He's just... gone.

Jenn and I were inside the Sistine Chapel last week. Signs all around the entrance said not to take photos inside. A ton of people were taking photos anyway. We didn’t. We agreed, “If there’s any place that you should follow the rules and not be an asshole, it’s probably inside the Sistine Chapel.”

Either SCOTUS knew about these buses… or it was a stroke of luck that they chose the middle of the night on Good Friday to ignore every procedural technicality to issue that order which turned the buses around. They obviously knew. Question is from whom… since the ACLU did not appear to know.
