The head of the FDA tells us they're taking a look at the dietary guidelines and that the food pyramid is out.
The food pyramid has not been in use since 2011 when MyPlate replaced it.

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”

A DHS spokesperson defended the detainment, accusing Sen. Padilla of failing to properly identify himself during Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference.
But multiple videos show Padilla clearly identifying himself as a senator.

Sen. Padilla pushed to ground, handcuffed for demanding DHS not lie
Forcibly removing a sitting US senator, as they opposed the president's immigration policy, is a part of a broader slide.

It’s bullshit that people are parroting “the players brought having their effort questioned on themselves” line. The owners didn’t give them an offer until a week before the first game! And their offer was crap! Where is the discussion of their culpability in actively distracting their own players?

I used a chicken patty to make chicken fried steak and eggs and honestly it was OK.
Not the best, but as good as restaurant chain. I will probably do it again.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.
Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

I wonder if we could make a sort of interactive version of the U.S. Government org chart like this, showing which parts are being burned down in which ways every day. Something visual to explain it to normal people who aren't paying attention, translating it to impacts on their daily lives.

This is new to me, but I made a paleta with tequila infused with Serrano peppers (it's what I had) watermelon purree served it over ice and topped it off with soda water.
It's wonderful.

1. Happening now, the United States Senate is considering S9, a bill that would ban transgender people from playing sports of their gender identity from chess to darts and everything in between.
It could result in genital exams and more.

This is so stupidly offensive. It's not just the obvious wink wink nod nod of renaming forts after *literal traitors*, it's the pretending he's not doing that, while knowing everyone knows he is.
Thinks he's being clever, but is too stupid to know he just looks like a dipshit.
