@BenDempsey18@krassenstein baltimore’s murder rate is down dramatically (40%) over the last 5 years under current leadership. it’s finally out of the top 10 cities for violent crime in the US for the first time in decades. you don’t know what you’re talking about
Your health is at risk. My wife is a PhD microbiologist. She retired from the FDA in 2018. She and her team did vital research on food safety. They developed rapid testing methods for detecting pathogens (one of her tests was adopted by McDonalds). She was involved in identifying the pathogens found in BlueBell ice cream and Jack-in-the-Box and many other cases. There were a dozen or so other teams in her lab working to save lives and make food safer. They all got the axe today. And don't give me the BS that the FDA is corrupt. These are scientists not politicians. She couldn't even accept a box of donuts from an equipment salesman and they made me sell my stock in OXO Good Grips because the FDA regulates kitchen tools. They worked long and hard for you. This is sad.
Again, just to be clear about what's happening here:
This is Trump's anti-"DEI" czar, responding with a grinning-man meme when I said he was using "DEI" as a codeword for the civil rights laws from the 1960s. Effectively an admission they plan on restoring Jim Crow-era law.
#PalisadesFire; Due to multiple questions on the topic… We did experience some challenges with water pressure while battling the Pacific Palisades Fire. LADWP proactively filled all available water storage tanks, including three 1-million-gallon tanks located in the Palisades area. However, water availability was impacted at higher elevations, which affected some fire hydrants due to limited replenishment of water tanks in those areas. The extreme demand caused a slower refill rate for these tanks which created a challenge for our firefighting effort.
After millions of views spreading lies about the Palisades firefighters lacking water because of regulations, the boring truth comes late like usual and wont be shared. Here it is:
1 - Reservoirs and water tanks were at normal levels and completely full before the fire.
2 - All 114 city water supply tanks were fully stocked pre-fire.
3 - A 15-hour surge at four times normal demand reduced water pressure.
4 - High demand at lower elevations slowed refilling tanks at higher elevations.
5 - This unprecedented fire was fueled by 8 months of no rain and 85 MPH winds. Water is being brought in continuously.
6 - Even if, like Trump claimed, the protection of the Delta Smelt caused over regulation by California, it's the FEDERAL Endangered Species Act that requires the protection of endangered species like the Delta Smelt and their habitats, not Gavin Newsom or California.
I expect the comments to me filled with people personally attacking me for putting this information out. All it does is show that you are unintelligent. Thanks.
People are breaking down on TikTok because they just realized Obamacare *is* the Affordable Care Act.
The heartbreaking part? So many have pre-existing conditions.
One man admitted he voted for Trump without knowing it was Obamacare that allowed his mother with stage 4
🧵 One of the things that genuinely pisses me off regularly is the absolute non-coverage of the fact that everything the Biden administration has had to deal with for 4 years are specific, unambiguous examples of Donald Trump's intentional sabotage of this country.

BREAKING NEWS: Ottawa last year fined Quebec a record $42 million for violating the Canada Health Act. Here is my story below, showing how under the Coalition Avenir Québec government, health care has been moving more and more toward the private sector.👇

You may have heard the term “Project 2025” floating around, and you may even have cracked open the 900+ page document yourself, only to see a lot of kind of bland, policy-wonk text. So let me crack through the policy-speak and tell you WTF is in this document.
