Do you know who laid the foundation for the FDA? President Theodore Roosevelt. Do you know why? Because he read a great piece of literature that exposed the mistreatment of immigrant workers and the disgusting, unsanitary practices in meatpacking plants… The book is called “The Jungle.”

Dozens of people were killed and catastrophic damage across multiple red states due to tornados & wildfires this weekend and Trump is tweeting about winning his club championship in Palm Beach and going to the awards dinner tonight. Well done, MAGA. You picked a real winner.

Step down Schumer.

It gets worse. Schumer isn’t just going on a book tour—he’s charging for tickets. Absolute insanity. While Americans are scared and in crisis mode, he’s basically saying, let them eat cake. @schumer.senate.gov Step Down.

Mass firings, shutting down critical services, blowing up our alliances, crashing the markets, encouraging inflation... These aren't the actions of a political party aspiring to get reelected. These are the actions of an authoritarian regime that does not intend to honor elections ever again.

I'm dumb. I can't figure out how to end world hunger. But I do promise that I will continue to change healthcare in this country and make it more affordable, possibly setting a path towards Universal Healthcare.

After watching this video, you will never look at a simple bag of lettuce the same way again. The average workday for an undocumented immigrant is 10-12 hours, and many get paid below minimum wage because their employers know they are afraid of being deported. How many Americans want this job?

We have a reality tv game show host for a “president” and reality tv star for a “transportation secretary” and a morning tv “news” anchor for a “defense secretary”. So things are going about as well as expected.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus on Trump’s claim that Canadians would get better healthcare as the 51st state: This is my health card. I just walk into a hospital, give them my card, and I get free coverage. That’s how health care is delivered here. We don’t have people who pay and people who are denied.

to recap: — Trump was for the TikTok ban — which the GOP Congress passed — and the GOP Supreme Court upheld — and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway — so that Trump could "save" it — and the media fell for it we really do live in the dumbest fucking country

In January 20, 1961, the temperature at noon was 22 degrees and 8 inches of snow had fallen in the morning. John F. Kennedy still had his inauguration on the steps of the Capitol.

Shoutout to the Los Angeles Times reporters who are doing essential journalism under very difficult circumstances. They’ve dropped their paywall, but their ongoing coverage is a good reminder of why local newsrooms need support — and what we lose when those outlets are hollowed out.

Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed. The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.
