California is reporting cases of cyclosporiasis as a nationwide outbreak linked to a parasite commonly found in fresh produce continues to grow. https://t.co/9cUWPoI92L

A San Diego infectious disease doctor says it’s probably best to stay away from fresh produce for the next week or so, even if you wash it. A fecal parasite illness, known as cyclosporiasis, has now reached California. NBC 7’s Shandel Menezes has details. https://t.co/beYdXip2Ds

Someone said Mamdani became Mayor just to get rid of everything that pissed him off as an individual and I 1000% believe that. Lmao

A diarrhea-causing parasite has now infected over 1,000 Americans, spreading across 29 states.

Last year, RFK Jr and Elon Musk dissolved the CDC office responsible for preventing parasitic infections.

Karoline Leavitt went to an expensive private high school, then worked in the White House immediately out of college, then married a billionaire her daddy's age. What kind of spoon is that?

Honestly pure dictator shit. A real democracy would immediately imprison him for even trying this

Congress passed a bipartisan bill to make it easier to own a home.

The President is refusing to sign it.

Donald Trump doesn’t care about lowering costs for you.

[MM  @adgirlMM]

Imagine being forced to give someone 6.2% of your paycheck, every single check, every month, for 30 to 50 years of your life.

And that person said, "Don't worry, I'm holding this for you and will pay it back to you on a monthly basis, when you retire at 65."

And then they said, "Nah, just kidding. I meant when you retire at 67. And at that time, I'll only give you 70% of what you paid me."

And then they said, "Oops, I spent all your money. You're out of luck."

That's the U.S. government.

A note to my friends who still back Trump:

I am not here to dunk on you. I am writing because you have a working brain, and this story insults it.

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool got a $14 million paint job. Shortly thereafter the water turned green and the new “American flag blue” coating started peeling off the bottom in sheets. Trump says vandals did it. He claims, without evidence, that someone took a knife and cut a 300-foot slit, a number that grew to 350 feet while he was still talking.

Back on May 4, Trump bragged about that same coating and said, if you had a knife, you could not even cut it, so strong, like powerful rubber. He cannot have it both ways.

And the green water?

A George Mason scientist tested it and found ordinary, non-toxic algae, the kind that blooms in any shallow sunny pool. To fight it, crews dumped hydrogen peroxide into the water.

Hydrogen peroxide is also a paint stripper.

That, not sabotage or vandalism, is the obvious reason the paint came off. They wrecked their own paint job, then blamed phantom vandals for it.

The lone "vandal" they paraded is a 67-year-old Olympian who touched a flap of paint already peeling on its own.

Here is the thing. If they will look you in the eye and lie about something this small, something you can see with your own eyes, ask yourself what else they are lying to you about.

Again, you have a working brain. People like Karoline Leavitt are counting on you to stay loyal instead of exercising independent thought.

Prove them wrong.

The scariest thing about this is that there's no way to know whether he's even aware that he spent the last 4 months saying exactly the opposite
