This comes just 1 year after the Trump admin removed a cyclospora tracking mandate from the 'Foodborne Disease Active Surveillance Network.'

It's official! The "Super El Nino" has begun, with Niño 3.4 sea-surface temperatures now 2.0°C (3.6°F) above the 1991-2020 baseline.
The Climate 8-ball is getting racked.
Jennifer Welch: “Republicans always do the exact same thing: start wars, add to the national deficit, cut social safety programs, bankrupt the stock market and then corporations get a surge of socialism, the American taxpayer has to fund it, and then a Democrat has to come back in and fix the economy”
We always seem to have billions for war, bombs, and endless militarization. But when it comes to healthcare, Social Security, housing, or feeding kids, suddenly we're told there's no money. That's a political choice.
As a Christian, I am deeply offended by JD Vance’s proclamation of the United States as “a Christian nation.” Our country was founded on religious freedom. Read the First Amendment— no establishment of religion.

Labor force participation has fallen to 61.5% — the lowest since 2021, erasing the entire post-pandemic recovery.
Since Trump's inauguration, over a million people have left the job market — which explains part of the reason the unemployment rate dropped last month.
Won’t wear a mask to protect others during a pandemic…
…but will wear a mask to protect themselves from accountability for their radical hate-fueled bigotry.
Cowards.
🚨CAUGHT ON TAPE: Trump ADMITS the SAVE Act is designed to disenfranchise voters: "Republicans have to win this one. We'll never lose a race for 50 years."
He’s talking about YOU. Your vote gone. Your voice erased. So they never have to answer to YOU again.
#SAVEActIsPayToVote
NEW: Conman and hypocrite Vivek Ramaswamy has spent millions of dollars attacking Dr. Amy Acton over COVID, but he can't hide from his own lockdown advocacy.
Two hundred and fifty years ago, a group of Americans signed their names to a piece of parchment and made a promise no nation had ever made before: that we're all created equal, endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights — life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
We're the only nation in history built not on ethnicity, or blood, or geography but on an idea. That's always been what makes us exceptional. We chose that path 250 years ago but that’s where the work began, not where it ended. Every generation has had to choose it again. At Valley Forge, at Gettysburg, on the beaches of Normandy, in the streets of Selma. Americans recommitted themselves to the principles on which our nation was founded.
Now it's our turn.
There's nothing guaranteed about our democracy. We have to fight for it, defend it, and earn it. Over and over, year after year. That's not a burden. That's what it means to be an American.
250 years in, we still haven't fully lived up to those words in the Declaration. But we've never walked away from them, and this July 4, I hope all of us can commit to one thing: that we never will. I don't believe we're as divided as we're told we are. I've bet my whole life on the American people, and I'm not stopping now.
Happy 250th birthday, America. Our story isn't finished. Let's keep writing it together.
