my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

Authoritarianism is a cancer. And it's growing, metastasizing. In America. Now.

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.

More than a decade ago, I sat down with @marcmaron.bsky.social in his garage to tape something new called a podcast. This time, he came to me to record his last episode.

We talked about the power of conviction, decency in an age of division, and the true story of America.

What did Tom Homan do with the $50K he took in a CAVA bag from undercover FBI agents?

Just keep asking this everyday. Its a big scandal they can't escape because Pam Bondi and her DOJ killed the investigation. They're cornered on this and the Epstein Files.

Somewhere on this globe it is still Elmore Leonard’s 100th birthday. Many happy returns to the ‘poet laureate of wild assholes with revolvers’ as the NME, (I think) called him. Away for a fortnight & before I knew it was his centenary 6 of the 12 books I packed were his.

Glitz, Bandits, 52 Pick Up & Gunsights, all in paperback, all by Mr Elmore Leonard.

Is it just me, or does it seem the press is actually and completely terrified to report about Donald Trump's physical and mental health the way it would have if anyone else were president?

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

Christian nationalism isn’t just rising—it’s reshaping America’s political landscape. From extremist rallies to churches near the Capitol, and nationwide laws forcing religious displays, this movement threatens to replace democracy with a theocratic state.

I don't like "endorsing" stuff, especially when it cost money. But, I make nothing from this and I think it's important enough to be said. If you're using Signal, you should be using Threema. It's not tied to a phone number/email and the servers are in a Swiss nuclear bunker outside US jurisdiction.
