12 months of MAHA:
Our last foodborne botulism outbreak hasn’t been resolved yet & now one of the only affordable sources of lean protein is a botulism risk, too; measles cases are exploding, even tuberculosis is on the rise. And they’re still trying to deregulate more.
Maybe expertise did matter…

“Trump continues to behave the way he always has” makes for a poor headline. That’s why they have to keep inventing these pivots.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

I will give Suozzi more credit than he gives himself. He knew what the vote was. He just figured the way to "win" was to support the funding because that's more "centrist" and buck the Democratic majority. But morally, he knew what this was about. He ended up wrong morally AND politically.

It does seem strange Trump has completely lawless people looking for supposed lawless immigrants 🤔🤨. One thing for sure, this administration is fascist,racist,bigoted and vile. And we’ve all seen their hypocrisy. But you don’t have to take my word for it. Everyday is another chapter in Trump chaos.

The clergy just keep coming to this anti-ICE protest.
Genuinely unclear where they all will go — it’s packed outside on the sidewalk already.
