Emily Marris bought raw milk from a farm recommended to her on Facebook. After her 17-month-old drank it, the toddler contracted E. coli and nearly died. Despite knowing this, the farmer continued advertising “raw goat milk from a clean tested herd.”

While I'm enjoying the humiliation justifiably being heaped on Senator Eric Schmitt, I don't don't think enough mockery is being directed at his accomplice, Senator Kennedy, the Cornpone Clown, with this stupidly victorious expression as he smugly holds up the ridiculous "evidence."

New survey from the Annenberg Center is out. Less than a quarter of Americans (23%) have a favorable view of RFK Jr. Meanwhile 42% of us have a “very unfavorable” view of him, and many people (40%) are confused about whether he recommends the MMR vaccine. Horrifying stats for an HHS Secretary.

Like a lot of people, I have been recently learning a lot about the history of the Kennedy Center. For example, Congress first called for a “national cultural center” in 1938. It took two decades for the project to be formally approved by Congress, in 1958. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennedy...

The Kennedy Center has stood as a living memorial to President Kennedy for over 50 yrs — a symbol of American arts & culture that belongs to the people. It has welcomed every American regardless of background. Now Trump wants to demolish it because courts wouldn’t let him put his name on it.

I’ve worked with several treasury secretaries, and I can honestly say that Scott Bessent is the worst I’ve ever witnessed. He seems to be doing everything possible to lose credibility, which is critical to soothing markets and maintaining faith in the dollar.

Bessent dared the markets to ‘bet against’ him. Bond traders did — and appear to be winning.
As the Trump administration digs deeper into its toolbox to lower longer-term bond yields, they’re only surging higher.
