My political hot take is that US voters should be able to recall elected representatives via petition - at any time.
No more hiding behind election terms.

RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history
BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.

Bad news indeed.
Foodborne disease outbreaks that I investigated during the 1990s used CDC's newly-developed molecular methods developed with FoodNet funding. The tools allowed us to specifically ID foods and to intervene, preventing ongoing exposures and infections.
