The cyclospora outbreak has reached 17,180 cases across 48 states. The FDA has recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination. Screwworm cases continue to rise. And we’ve just surpassed 2,700 measles cases (including 2 recent deaths) — a 35 year high. “Make America Healthy Again.”

Darline Graham said that because her own parents died when she was a kid, people today shouldn't expect "government health care." So I dug up the real story of the death of Darline/Lindsey's parents. It makes a strong case FOR government health care. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2148...

newrepublic.comWhat Darline Graham’s Ugly, Viral Outburst About Death Really RevealsThe senator’s parents died when she was a kid. That’s tragic. But it’s also tragic that she’s against the kind of care that could help untold numbers of people avoid that fate today.

My sister-in-law grew up in Puerto Rico. When I told her about Dolly Parton’s passing, she looked puzzled—no recognition of the golden voice or public persona—until her face lit up and she said, “Oh! The book lady!” I think Dolly would love to be remembered this way by a mother of two.

Fiery reply by Trump in Williams's court, just shows again they're missing the point. Starts by saying don't have to respond since"no party sought the sanctions at issue, & no party now seeks to defend them." Exactly. B/c it's collusive. Arguments follow that merit 1 response: it's the fraud, stupid

Ice says that these electric gloves are meant to "maintain compliance." Slave owners used to say the same thing about whips. If using shock collars on dogs is Animal Cruelty and Abuse, how is it fine for ICE to use Shock Gloves on people?

Criminal POTUS and his criminal spawn, who had a fake university and a fake charity shuttered, gets to open up his own bank (along with criminal cabinet member and his criminal spawn). Congrats America, you have truly entered into third world shithole country territory.

ICE entered a small Maine town searching for someone with a removal order. Instead, an officer killed 26-year-old Joan Sebastian Guerrero—who officials admit was not the target. With no body-camera footage, furious protesters are demanding the truth. #Biddeford #ICE #Justice

Delta Airlines charging me for my bag? That's obnoxious. Delta Airlines charging me to book a seat? That's obnoxious. But Delta Airlines working with ICE to ship people to concentration camps is COLLABORATION. Boycot #delta

Cassidy's rational self-evidently bankrupt. He says another acting AG would be worse. But his vote secures the confirmation of the candidate who has been shown to champion the worst possible DOJ practices. That's what he's ratifying -- it's not a guessing game.
