Nutrition scientist Dr. Kevin Hall may not be a household name, but he’s famous. He’s one of the only researchers in the world to conduct not one, but two gold-standard clinical trials on the impact of ultraprocessed foods on the growing obesity crisis: https://cnn.it/46wrjt7

Raising the $7.25 an hour minimum wage to a living wage is not a radical idea.
Since 2020, voters in Florida, Nebraska, Missouri & Alaska approved a major increase in their minimum wage.
What’s radical is that the federal minimum wage has not gone up since 2009.

Trump has pardoned multiple convicted fraudsters — including a former GOP Congressman and two reality TV stars.
He's also dropped or halted 100+ enforcement actions against corporate offenders — including 34 companies that funded his inauguration.
Is this being "tough on crime"?
