The FDA has suddenly dropped a proposed rule to require asbestos testing in cosmetics.
The rule would've set up testing to identify cancer-causing asbestos in talc-containing products.
Contamination has repeatedly been found in talc-based cosmetics before.

They're my constituents, too @shaheen.senate.gov.
None ask me to raise healthcare costs. None ask to see their neighbors kidnapped.
And they understand - when explained - you cannot cut a deal with a GOP that routinely lies.
Your legacy is sealed: You were weak when strength was most needed.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.
The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Nothing that's happened so far wasn't predictable in November.
Many, many people did, in fact, predict it all.

If nothing else, we can now be grateful that the longest speech in Senate history is no longer a diatribe against the Civil Rights Act delivered by a segregationist.
