WATCH: When her son Chris was 7, Mary McGonigle-Martin gave him raw milk, as it promised to treat allergies and digestive problems. A month later, he fell gravely ill.

Now 27, he’s still dealing with the effects of kidney damage and other health issues: https://t.co/KSWSItLQKe

@JillFilipovic I had a cancerous tumor in my lumbar vertebrae that caused permanent damage. It is extremely uncomfortable to sit in an airplane seat for very long without reclining. I am always careful to recline slowly. The demands to not use the seat as designed are unrealistic.

@SeattleWXGuy Michael, could you explain what this pattern shows and its implications?

If you are in line to speak with Mitch McConnell for just about 20 minutes, stay in line.

@volcaholic1 It’s 71° here today. It’s a bit cool for my taste. But it’s quite hot at my sister’s in PA. She used the word oppressive.

@IngrahamAngle I will talk to my friends in the AlgaeBTQ+ community about these outside algaetators. I will stop it.

Republicans looked the country in the eye and made a promise. When they rewrote the food stamp program last year, they said children would not be touched.

Pregnant women would not be touched.

Families with young kids would not be touched. They said it on the House floor, on the record, in front of everyone.

A year later we know the truth.

More than 776,000 children have been cut off from food assistance. In the states that track participation by age, kids make up nearly half of everyone who lost benefits.

These are kids who went to bed hungry because a politician wanted a talking point. 

We must be a country that feeds its children. We used to believe that was the bare minimum. Take care of the kid who is hungry through no fault of their own.

The people who broke that promise should have to answer for it, and in November they will.

Two of the most important biomedical breakthroughs came from science of the Gila lizard venom (GLP-1s) and yogurt (CRISPR genome editing).

Watching a flu outbreak sweep through a major military training installation after @PeteHegseth pointlessly politicized the vaccine requirement is a reminder that viruses are unimpressed by amateur political theater.
