California voted 63 percent to ban this. Massachusetts voted 78 percent. The industry sued and lost at the Supreme Court.

So they slipped a provision into the House farm bill to void both votes and block every future state from trying. One lobbying campaign undoing two supermajority referendums.

The largest beneficiary is Smithfield - owned by a Chinese company. Congress is being asked to override American voters to protect a Chinese corporation's factory farming practices.

84 percent of Americans called this unacceptable in polling. The Senate gets to decide if that number means anything.

Here's what the pork industry doesn't want you to know about the way it sneaked a provision into the 2026 farm bill that would nullify ballot measures that improve animal welfare, while helping Chinese companies torture American pigs. The issue is personal to me, because we once raised pigs on our family farm, and I saw that these are not commodities but animals rather like dogs: smart with very distinct personalities. A naughty boy who punishes a single animal may be punished, but an adult who presides over the systematic abuse of hundreds of thousands of pigs as a business model is hailed as a visionary CEO -- and voters get that, and that's why they have backed laws that improve animal wellbeing. This is, remarkably, an issue that unites many liberals and conservatives alike; @TomiLahren, @Cernovich and @IngrahamAngle are among those who have been outspoken on this issue. I hope R and D members of Congress alike will stand firm, for the stakes are immense, with four pigs slaughtered around the clock on average all year. Here's a gift link to my piece: https://t.co/NWQbJK6JTc I welcome your comments.

Excited to see that we are getting the stapled Green Cards for all legal immigrants with high paying jobs and graduate degrees like we were promised.

Thank you @chamath @DavidSacks & friends for your leadership on this.

It is time for the United States Postal Service to ban junk mail.

Unsolicited spam calls are already prohibited by the FCC. Emails are heavily regulated by the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003. Junk mail is the majority of mail, 100 million trees per year. Enough!

Incredible response by @marcorubio when asked his hope for America

“My hope for America is what it’s always been. It’s the hope I hope we all share.  We want it to continue to be the place where anyone from anywhere can achieve anything, where you’re not limited by the circumstances of your birth, by the color of your skin, by your ethnicity, but frankly, it’s a place where you are able to overcome challenges and achieve your full potential. 

I think that should be the goal of every country in the world, frankly, but I think in the U.S. – we’re not perfect.  Our history is not one of perfection, but it’s still better than anybody else’s history.  And ours is a story of perpetual improvement.  Each generation has left the next generation of Americans freer, more prosperous, safer, and that is our goal as well. 

But it is a unique and exceptional country, and as we come upon this 250-year anniversary I think we have a lot to learn and be proud of in our history.  It is one of perpetual and continuous improvement where each generation has done its part to bring us closer to fulfilling the vision that the founders of this country had upon its founding.”

It may be unrealistic to expect the world to become vegetarian (at least not until synthetic meat is produced at scale), but that doesn't mean we must treat farm animals with vicious cruelty. Small protections can reduce massive harm at tolerable costs. Tell your senator to vote NO on the Farm Bill if it includes the "#SaveOurBacon Act."

This is so sad. I wonder how much money brand consultants make for destroying a very distinctive brand identity and changing it to something entirely undistinctive.

One of my favorite singers passed at 92

Her stats are insane:
Started performing at 10 years old and performed til the very end, recorded a song every 2.5 days on average, for 80+ years!

So many bangers.

RIP
Brimful of Asha forever.

As a Hindu, I believe the entire Universe is the manifestation of the Divine. All of it - the river, the tree, the snake, the stone, the earthworm, the cow, the monkey, the elephant - all of it is divine manifestation. That belief is not Demonic, it is not Satanic, that is the path to living in harmony with nature and with other human beings.

Arrogant, intolerant monotheism - see the video below - that goes around labeling reverence for all of nature as "demonic" and "satanic"- that belief is what makes men do evil.

History supplies ample evidence. Hindus did not run crusades. Hindus did not burn witches at the stake. Hindus did not invade nations and enslave people in the name of bringing "Civilization" and "God" to "pagans".

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

Good Friday reminds us of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice. May this day further deepen the values of harmony, compassion and forgiveness. May brotherhood and hope guide us all.

Unpopular opinion: Today two pilots lost their lives because we have an air traffic control system inherently vulnerable to human error.

Even great humans make mistakes sometimes. Machines should be issuing clearances, not human controllers.

Computer scientists love SAT problems. They leave us feeling very satisfied.

For those that don't know, Suni Williams is one of the most accomplished astronauts in history. I felt very fortunate to meet her at the Crew 1 launch in late 2020.

She was selected in 1998, spent more than 600 days in space, commanded Expedition 33, completed nine spacewalks totaling over 60 hours, and flew missions on the Space Shuttle, Soyuz, Starliner, and Dragon spacecraft. Flying on four different spacecraft is very much worth emphasizing! She became the first woman to pilot a new orbital spacecraft and was both the first person to run a marathon and complete a triathlon in space.

Her mission on Expedition 74 reflects decades of experience, trust, and leadership at the highest level.

Thank you, Suni, for setting the gold standard for human spaceflight and inspiring everyone who follows.

In California, you can just brutally murder an old Asian man in the street for fun, and get away with it.
