Maybe we shouldn’t let someone who doesn’t believe in germs and who thinks it’s okay to eat roadkill and swim in contaminated ponds be in charge of our national food safety.
A federal-state partnership that monitors for foodborne illnesses quietly scaled back its operations nearly two months ago.
As of July 1, the critical surveillance program is monitoring for only two pathogens instead of the usual eight, a spokesperson for the CDC says.

Not like all laws are great but at least they get debated and edited. Trump’s EOs are just fucking screeds written by Stephen Miller. I don’t give a fuck what your preferences are that’s no way to run a nation.
one sign that the “unitary executive” is less the restoration of an older constitutional order and more the imposition of a radical new one is that allowing the president to act untethered from most legal or congressional limits has largely just served to plunge the country into disorder

Sometimes I think about the fact that the longest-serving Republican Speaker of the House in US history, Dennis Hastert, was convicted of sexually abusing teenagers, and the media just totally memory-holed it and no one talks about it now. I meet lots of people who don't know this happened.
Each day, they could just discuss the details of one (1) former Republican who was arrested for sex trafficking, pedophilia, or some related scandal.
If they're going to shut down Congress for this, fill the silence with these news stories. Make it unavoidable.

I am being completely serious when I say that Democrats in Congress should be planning daily press conferences between now and September asking why Republicans are refusing to do their jobs to protect the country’s most famous pedophile who was also best friends with the leader of their party

Major media seem flummoxed about what to do when Trump shares a fake video of Obama getting arrested. Maybe they think the options are A) take the bait, or B) ignore it. But there's a 3rd option: Gather all the crazy examples and write big, loud stories about how the president is mentally unhinged.

Performative public lying is a hallmark of far right authoritarian parties
Just to reiterate, the FDA director claimed to *personally* know of *multiple* people who died from mRNA COVID vaccines, and nobody has asked him anything else about that. These cases have never been reported in neither the medical and scientific records, nor literal death records.
When people lie this badly it is so easy to just be like “wow, tell me how one of the people you know died from a vaccine,” bc it’s obviously a lie & he won’t be able to answer bc it’s a lie. I’m not sure why nobody does that to these people? The tiniest amount of pushback would make them fall apart
