A little about me: My passions include equity, empowerment, and representation. I’m a Midwestern Democrat living in a suburb. I’ve worked in non-profits my entire career with a focus on people with disabilities. I hate cancer and dislike people who are mean.
I’m so tired of our health leaders trying to change things so we are more sick or dead.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
The extraordinary claim by the FDA here — and repeated in the headline — is not accompanied by ANY evidence, just hand waving in an internal email.
What we do know is it flies in the face of a lot of scientific expertise that. So be wary.

Breaking: An Epstein survivor just silenced press conference attendees when she delivered the following remarks:
“Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

A lot of people didn’t like the Washington Post journalist who was tortured and dismembered with a bone saw for writing critically about the man sitting next to me
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Riiiiight. Disgusting coverups.
Pay attention to how Mike Johnson is trying to shift the narrative today - he’s saying some Epstein files can’t be released because they’re intelligence products and would harm national security.

ICEstapo detained 81 people in Charlotte, NC yesterday.
The internet is littered with videos of them using excessive force and ignoring legal documentation provided by the detainees.
Here’s my advice for ICEstapo:
Take a night off.
Go to the movies.
Watch “Nuremberg”.
Your time is coming.
