Kennedy says adding folic acid to tortillas is “waging war” against poor residents. Folic acid has long been added to cereal and bread and the CDC website currently says it’s safe for those with the mutation mentioned in the thread Kennedy is replying to.

This isn’t complicated. The Epstein Transparency Act is the law.
You can’t have selective transparency. The DOJ is openly breaking the law, and they will be held accountable. No agency is above the law, and this failure will not go unanswered.

They reduce a congresswoman to her sexual marketability (“Did you date her? Would you?”), deny her lived experiences, and then mock her for saying she felt afraid when rioters explicitly threatened to kill her. And they’re marveling that she isn’t friendly towards them. Maybe they should smile more.
Matt Gaetz complains to Tucker Carlson that prior to January 6, AOC was a friendly colleague to House Republicans, but that after January 6 she went cold.
Gaetz also refers to AOC as a performance artist, and Tucker calls her a “scared little girl.”
