Turns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to, which is exactly why we need government regulations.

No contest.

Big news here. After Salgado Araujo was killed by an ICE agent, *someone* leaked that a search warrant for the van showed FBI thought they might have seen drug baggies in it. The family said it was drink powder. Apparently the substance was tested and the family was correct.

I can't speak to issues like humanitarian aid, but I can say with certainty that Elon's DOGE cuts impacted watchdogs such as the Worker Rights Consortium (WRC). Let me tell you about it. 🧵

Fine print time: no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security — all real, all narrower than advertised, and all expire at the end of 2028.⁣ ⁣ The tax cuts for wealthy families in the same bill?

The last Republican President to not start a Middle East war was Reagan and that's because he was illegally selling weapons to Iran to fund an illegal war in Central America.

When journalists asked me "where we will see the effects of DOGE on outcomes?" one of my responses was "during crises...as long as media connect the dots." Well, dots connected: www.wired.com/story/cdc-cy...

Four months ago:

Murray: Is it true that people making under $184,000 pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate? Dahl: Yes. Murray: And what is the rate for someone making $1,000,000? Dahl: 2.2%.
