Hello from Oregon

I have no stake in Amazon or in Oregon big AG

Your OP seems fine but the Rolling Stone headline draws attention away from the source of the nitrate problem here, which is agriculture

And the RS article goes into that

There are some good things happening on West Coast

CA OR WA are banding together to try to mitigate what RFK Jr and HHS are doing

But he's a big problem for millions of Americans whose health he's putting at greater risk

He and Trump are seeking to evade imputability but they are responsible

Okay

Is the NYT still a reliable source?

Specifically is Trump doing a "campaign against drug trafficking"?

I wouldn't give him any presumption of regularity at all

With due respect for the advocates of campaigning on "truth" or "democracy vs autocracy'

Consequences is a better banner

“Strong floor, no ceiling” is absolutely the type of slogan that a focus group of swing voters will tell you they find appealing after it has been a whole hour and they just want to go home.

It’s a slogan for people convinced this country *really* wants a Mike Bloomberg presidential campaign.

I wouldn't mind "no ceiling" if we had a more progressive tax system and we had a Supreme Court that overruled Citizens United etc

at best, the slogan needs too much explanation

Trump is hostile to our freedoms and indifferent to our safety and happiness (see the grievances of the Declaration)

going into the 250th, the high ground on liberty and safety and happiness is very available
