The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

Toxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.
BREAKING: The FDA has officially announced they will be banning artificial dyes in the food supply by the end of 2026

This includes Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Blue 1, Blue 2, Green 3

Just a reminder: having a functional moral compass right now is going to make you feel bad all the time; don’t mistakenly hate yourself for that.

Sorry but this whole thing is a farce! This woman plainly does not run the organization, THE GUY WHO CAME UP WITH THE NAME AND WHO THE PRESIDENT SAYS RUNS IT RUNS IT

When DOGE cuts aviation safety and planes crash, when Medicaid is demolished and your community hospital closes, when trans care is banned through pulling funding, when Musk subverts democracy…

The story behind RFK Jr. in Samoa's measles crisis has never been reported. He wasn't there to spread misinformation about vaccines (though he did). He wanted to study a "natural experiment" of unvaccinated kids.

“I can’t imagine anything less ethical or more cruel.”
www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
Experts saw Samoa's plunging vaccination rates as a crisis. RFK Jr. saw an opportunity.
New details show how Robert F. Kennedy Jr., then chair of an anti-vaccine group and now Trump’s pick for health secretary, sought to exploit a deadly vaccine accident.

Huh, turns out united opposition swiftly and decisively rebutting would-be authoritarians works better than taking a couple weeks and hoping it works out for the best.

This Nancy Mace thing is going to be a defining moment for the Democratic Party. Mace is deliberately bullying another person, one of their colleagues. And if House Dems are too chickenshit to defend their own colleague over this open, blatant hate, what the hell is the point of them anymore.

If House Republicans really wanted to protect women, they'd release the Ethics Committee report on Matt Gaetz' alleged sex trafficking - not try to ban their colleagues from using the bathroom. Stop the bigotry and release the report.

Ohio just passed a transgender bathroom ban, SB 104. Please, fellow Ohioans, call Governor DeWine at 614-466-3555 and ask him to veto the bill.

I’m scared.
