Eating more fiber could reduce ‘forever chemicals’ in bodies, study suggests
Study finds dietary fiber effectively cuts levels of two most common and dangerous Pfas, with more research planned

Keep in mind. Trump isn’t giving all these ICE Agents directions individually. They are choosing to do this. Stealing money. Making girls stand in the rain in their underwear. That’s their choice. Because people who chose to be ICE Agents chose it for pain it causes.
Please highlight this story.
ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.

My thoughts exactly!
If Trump can run for a third term, so can Barrack Obama...and Obama would just be 67 years old. Great-Granddad Trump, will be 82.

Second, instead of being an asshole and trash-talking the journalist, he should be thanking him for not posting anything top-secret that’s still to come.
