It is beyond time for the FDA to regulate the supplements industry. No one should be accidentally consuming LEAD when trying to pursue a healthy diet
my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements
we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

Pope Leo XIV weighed in on U.S. politics, saying Catholic politicians must be judged on the full range of their policy positions and suggesting the country's immigration policy is "inhuman."

Mahmoud Khalil should be at home with his pregnant wife.
Instead, he's been illegally abducted & had his constitutional right to free speech & due process stripped.
We're demanding his immediate release and we cannot allow this abuse of power to go unchecked. #FreeMahmoudKhalil

On FB I said I'd call my firstborn Superunknown, but I'd also go for "In Times New Roman..." as well, curious what others would have 🤭

This is the least surprising move ever. It’s why following the Republicans’ lead to “ban” TikTok was a horrific strategy from the start. Our country’s tech oligarchs do not have our best interests at heart
And there it is. Scam and grift revealed. Watch who gets rich off this. Interested also to see how legacy media covers this, which has been putrid so far.

The utter disdain that the Democratic Party expresses for its base is a big reason why they are unable to obtain or hold power in this country. Why should someone buy into your message when many members of the party clearly don’t care about or prioritize your interests?
