The last FDA inspections of Taylor Farms were in 2011 and 2019. The FDA has been hit hard by staff cuts ordered by DOGE and RFK Jr. Foreign food inspections plummeted last year, and the agency was already struggling to inspect foreign facilities before the cuts. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/17/h...

I hate that we have two Dakotas. Republicans got greedy for new states in the 1880s and we're still paying for that a century and a half later. Two states that, when combined, have the same population as The Bronx. They shouldn't get four senators.

Every time they make it harder for foreign students to study here, they're just jacking up the tuition costs for American students and robbing America of incredible new talent too.

The US built the greatest talent magnet ever, attracting the smart, skilled, and striving. They’d come to study, then stay and build things here, or leave with positive impressions and fruitful connections. Helped make the US wealthy and powerful. Then America chose to throw it away. And for what?

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.

The same Harlan Crow who has a mansion full of Nazi memorabilia?🙄

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service could soon declare that pygmy rabbits or Florida manatees are threatened with extinction. But under a policy change issued by the Trump administration, Americans could still kill, trap and harass them. https://wapo.st/3TrN2iV

This administration, supposedly representing the “real” salt of the earth Americans, is filled with people like this who have no idea how Americans actually live. For context, each Taco Bell outlet serves about 900 people PER DAY and there are over 300 Taco Bells in Michigan.

NEW: Aurora Police say an ICE detention center employee shot a protester last night. She is expected to survive. 42-year-old Brandon Booth, who works for the ICE contractor GEO Group, is being held on suspicion of attempted second degree murder and other charges.

Is the planet in it's "adolescent-clove-cigarette-smoking" phase or "middle-aged-hipster-pipe-smoking" phase? (was really hoping it was in it's "edible-thc-gummy" phase...but here we are)

NEW: DHS plans to pay Thomson Reuters $125 million for access to its databases which includes peoples’ names, addresses, Social Security numbers, ethnicity, social media posts, and geolocation information — to help ICE investigate “voter fraud”, according to documents reviewed by 404 Media.

We are not letting Taco Bell take the fall for Butthole Covid!!

The “this is straight-up Nazi shit” line gets overused sometimes. But not all the time.

They’re going to threaten this stuff, they’ll hamfistedly screw up the implementation, commit seven atrocities, and still lose every election that matters in November. We’re now nearing the “fuck you, do it, see what happens” stage of this confrontation IMO

Dang they really got a category for everything

Armageddon...in a theatre by myself...and now I know why.

My first TikTok mentioning China and my first violation/removal. What’re the odds?

Compare the immediate headlines (left) with the ones the next day (right). Trump engaged in engaged in propaganda to see how much progress he can make in taking control of the elections. Which sets of headlines are better at stopping him?

RBADVISERS: “.. The US is importing core inflation even without a pandemic! “.. Deglobalization and a massive trade deficit is fueling core inflation exactly as your basic econ textbook says it should.”

to hear Trump tell it, American elections were completely corrupted while he was president and he was helpless to stop it, then they were cleaned up by Biden ahead of Trump's victory in 2024, and now that Trump is president again they are once again becoming third world caliber

Epstein survivor Dani Bensky on meeting with Blanche:   "Todd Blanche treated the meeting as a mere 'check-the-box' exercise intended to secure votes for his confirmation. He danced around his wording, repeatedly interrupted us and could not commit to anything that would demonstrate good faith."

This is what you get when ICE has been ordered to hit quotas; the “re-arrest” and detention of people doing absolutely nothing wrong and simply waiting for the government to hear their case. It’s despicable.

Just heard on tv that our elections are totally corrupt and unreliable. We have no choice but to start over and elect a new president

every 5 months you hear "Joe Rogan is turning on Trump" from people in the media who don't actually watch rogan and take the bait like it's susan collins casting a line when in reality this is literally what he says almost every single day about democrats including fucking yesterday

My man looks like Pat Boone being tased

Ninety percent of the 71 detainees contacted in the concentration camp on Fort Bliss say they were beaten by guards are witnessed beatings, in addition to inedible meals and lack of access to medication or lawyers.

The ICE List claims to have identified the ICE officer who killed a man in Maine. Is David Brouillette still on the job? theicelist.org/index.php/Da...

Wow. The ICE shooter in Maine asked his ex-wife to "to lie for him and to cover for his character." She said he was abusive and had previously reported concerns about him to his military superiors. He was also a volunteer firefighter, but was removed after several spats with department leadership.

He reportedly called his ex-wife to ask her to "lie for him" and to "cover for his character."

The Justice Department appears to have included a fake AI-generated. citation in an ICE detainee's case. Judge Jarbou, a Trump appointee in Michigan, called it out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Massie: "I don't think the problem is that our elections aren't secure because we control the House, Senate, White House, and to some degree we control the Supreme Court. So I ask my Republican colleagues, why are you complaining about election fraud? We won all the damn elections!"

"There's still gonna be more bloodshed unless they shut their mouth." Probably not a good sign when federal officials sound exactly like abusive husbands

Wow

Happy 80th birthday to a legend, a Mexican-American icon, and one of the greatest vocalists of all time, Miss Linda Ronstadt ✨

A federal prosecutor who marched to the Capitol on Jan. 6 was appointed this year to run a national task force targeting alleged left-wing political violence. New from @joshkovensky.bsky.social talkingpointsmemo.com/news/exclusi...

this guy wants as many americans as possible to die of preventable diseases. he views that as preferable to vaccines or long term medication. makes us “stronger”

England up 1 deciding to sit back and do nothing with 9 in the box for a half hour against Argentina in the World Cup

you fucked up a perfectly good rock star is what you did. look at it. it's got anxiety

New meme just dropped

What the actual fuck? Look, I'm sorry to keep saying this, but the president is clearly a dementia-ravaged necrotic husk of a man whose addled rants bear no actual resemblance to reality and I, for one, think that is concerning.

Full Metal Jack It

tom watson was a populist politician from georgia who infamously abandoned even nominal racial egalitarianism when he became convinced that black voters were an obstacle to his ambitions. from 1900 on he was a vicious white supremacist whose "populism" reflected this.

OSSOFF: Who won the 2020 election? CLAYTON: Uhm, you know, I'm not going to do this with you O: This is a job interview. You have an obligation to be honest with the committee. Who won the 2020 election? C: I'm not gonna get into that with you O: You're not being honest or forthright C: ...

Thank god there are no gender studies classes anymore otherwise we might be able to figure out what's going on here.

My real name is Nick Farruggia, and the best thing about me is that I’m the son of Robin and Doug Farruggia. My dad passed away unexpectedly last week. The world should know what he was like, so I wrote about him.
