Let me get this straight...
Republican congressmen are allowed to take vanity tours in CECOT prison in El Salvador, but Senator Chris Van Hollen is denied entry to check on the welfare of his wrongly imprisoned constituent?

Whenever I discuss the MAHA movement or critique aspects of it, I inevitably receive comments like, “At least we’re finally talking about ways to improve health and reduce chronic disease.” But public health didn’t start with MAHA.
Public Health Didn’t Start with MAHA: What We Can Learn from Let’s Move!
Many MAHA supporters claim it’s the first movement to prioritize America’s health, but history tells a different story.

Our parks are in chaos. We’ve seen firsthand how Trump’s hiring freeze, the rescinding of hundreds of job offers, and the layoff of 5% of NPS staff have left us overwhelmed and short-handed.

Look, you may not be familiar with the genius of Kendrick Lamar and couldn't quite hear the lyrics and don't know the backstory and the symbolism went over your head, but trust me when I say you'll want to read an analysis of it and rewatch. A true masterpiece.

This! And why is nobody talking about the numerous times RFK Jr. said he will “implement President Trump’s policy” during the confirmation hearings. The role of HHS Secretary is not to blindly follow- it’s to advise the President in the management of HHS with public health as a top priority.
Claiming to “just ask questions” or advocate for better science while ignoring the well-established body of evidence is not a genuine pursuit of truth - it’s a deliberate tactic to dismiss inconvenient findings and demand research that confirms a predetermined agenda.
This is what RFK Jr. does.

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

It’s official: In the USA The Gulf of Mexico is now the “Gulf of America,” and Denali, the Alaska Native name for North America’s tallest peak, has been reverted to Mount McKinley. But we refuse to accept this change—Denali will always be Denali to us. #IStandWithDenali
