Among other things, Elon Musk now makes clear his belief that women must be disenfranchised. And he's now the sole source funder of the Texas GOP. Shouldn't Texas GOP candidates who are running with his money be asked about this?

Representatives for Taylor Farms called the White House to try to delay a recall tied to one of the largest foodborne illness outbreaks in U.S. history www.wsj.com/health/taylo...
Representatives for produce giant Taylor Farms contacted the White House with an urgent plea: the company wanted to delay announcing a recall tied to one of the largest foodborne illness outbreaks in U.S. history.
The call, during which the company asked for more proof and more time before being linked to the outbreak, illustrates how one of the country’s largest produce suppliers sought to limit its exposure to a public-relations nightmare, while grappling with a costly and complicated recall. Over the past several weeks, health officials have been scrambling to contain the outbreak of cyclospora, which can cause explosive diarrhea. Some current and former government officials have criticized the handling of the outbreak, both by the administration and Taylor Farms.Federal health authorities were preparing late last week to link Taylor Farms to a multistate parasitic infection that has sickened thousands. The company wanted to see more evidence, according to people familiar with the matter.
The White House asked officials from the Food and Drug Administration, which has been investigating growing cases of cyclosporiasis, to join the call with Taylor Farms, which the government maintains is the source of the multistate outbreak. During the discussion, Taylor Farms raised concerns that the government had no positive laboratory tests linking its product to the outbreak and that it was overstating the company’s culpability, according to one of the people who was on the call.
Taylor Farms sought out the White House after company executives felt they hadn’t gotten enough clarity from the FDA on the evidence behind a potential recall and the scope of it, according to a person familiar with the situation.
Health and Human Services Department spokeswoman Emily Hilliard said the FDA presented Taylor Farms with substantial evidence connecting its products to the outbreak and engaged in extensive discussions with the company.

Social Security is earned, not given. We paid into it our entire working lives. Speaker Johnson knows how unpopular cuts would be. That’s why these conversations happen behind closed doors instead of out in the open. We earned these benefits. We’ll fight to keep them. #HandsOffSocialSecurity

White supremacy in the U.S. has never disappeared. It just keeps rebranding. And yes: Turning Point USA is the 2.0 update. Different names, same engine all wrapped in flags, slogans, and grievance politics.

White supremacy has gone by many different names in the United States.
Manifest Destiny.
The Confederacy.
Jim Crow.
KKK.
Christian nationalism.
MAGA.
Different names for the same thing: white nationalism, misogyny, and predatory capitalism.
All while using Jesus as a mascot.

The Federal Reserve shows that without Trump's tariffs, inflation would be back down to pre-pandemic levels. And this doesn't even include the more recent price spike due to the illegal Iran war. Biden's policies were working. Anyone who thinks Republicans are better for the economy is flat wrong.

Federal Reserve: Without tariffs, inflation would have dropped to pre-pandemic levels during 2025
New study finds that tariffs were responsible for the "entirety of the excess inflation in the core goods category."
