California is the first state to define ultra-processed foods and phase them out of school meals.

DC politicians can talk all day about "Making America Healthy Again," but we've been walking the walk on boosting nutrition and removing toxic additives and dyes for decades.

The question isnโ€™t whether ICE has become secret police or its functioning legally within very bad law. Very bad law made it possible for form secret police.

Starving children screaming for food as US aid cuts unleash devastation and death across Myanmar U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has repeatedly said โ€œno one has died" because of his governmentโ€™s decision to gut its foreign aid program.

Democrats press Bondi over concerns DOJ is being weaponized to target Trump's foes Bondi defended her work as attorney general, rejecting allegations that DOJ investigations and prosecutions, including the recent indictment of former FBI Director James Comey, are driven by politics.

Pam Bondiโ€™s disrespect and canned attacks on Senators during the oversight hearing was a disgrace.

Lordy, let there be trials.

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

Hoping these federal agents are held accountable, breaking the law should have real consequences. A federal judge has ruled that federal immigration agents illegally arrested more than two dozen people.

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"
