Shutdown Deal Kills Rules to Prevent Food Contamination and Foodborne Illnesses The gutting of these rules coincides with a huge increase in hospitalizations and deaths from foodborne illnesses.

Industry lobbying groups successfully pushed for removal of food safety regulations from the spending bill. If RFK Jr. really cares about health and improving food systems, he should push back against corporate threats to our safety. Add your name: https://fwwat.ch/41LUXcg

Scott Pelley asked me why I am speaking out where others have stayed silent.

My answer: I am worried about the future of our country. This president appears to be selling off pieces of our democracy.

I remember when I called Nigel Farage an anti-semite whilst on the BBC and Ben Habib said he'd sue me. Needless to say, I am still waiting for his lawyer's letter.

USSR (not Russia) was suffering from the purges of Stalin (Georgian), so had lost its expertise. They had to hold the line at any cost in order to move manufacturing beyond Ural.

Germans lost most of their men & equipment inc most of Luftwafe at Eastern Front, due to ferocity of the war.

On Veterans Day, we honor those who served and commit to serving them in return β€” not just in words, but in actions.

Affordability and a real commitment to mental health are essential to ensure that every veteran can build a future here in New York City.

So he’s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we won’t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didn’t prepare for that possibility? He’s running the govt like he ran his casinos.

We dubbed it β€˜Hamasgate’, the right wing went crazy over a simple truism - even suggesting I’d broken UK terror laws. MPs, Peers, the Daily Mail obvs, GB News - and others. It was crazy. I sued the ones that wouldn't correct what they’d said - current score 9 - 0.

I wonder if the United States can learn anything from the last time a major industrialized country decided to isolate itself from the rest of the world?

Almost a decade after the Brexit vote, GDP in the UK is around 6-8% lower relative to peer countries. (Source: www.nber.org/papers/w34459)

Trump Pitches $2,000 Checks as a Salve for Tariff Pain Any concession might come too late for small businesses struggling with import taxes.

Tariffs go up. Sometimes they come down. Some days the president even promises to cut everyone a check. No one really knows what comes next.

Mexico Imposes Hefty Tariffs on Sugar to Protect Local Industry Mexico raised tariffs of up to 210% on sugar imports from countries with which it doesn’t have a trade deal, part of a plan to protect the domestic industry from falling prices.

UK: 380K
Italy: 310-340K
USA: 250k (Excluding Conflict with Japan)

President Trump criticises France and others for celebrating remembrance day, saying, "We're the one that won the wars"

Surreal, and so very disrespectful to every person who fought in the wars for the freedoms we all enjoy today

Police seized a Tesla Cybertruck being driven illegally in the UK Tesla's Cybertruck is not permitted on British roads and police said there were "legitimate concerns" for the safety of other road users.

Hard to believe that some nob tried to import a CyberYuck to the UK earlier this year.

"..legitimate concerns exist around the safety of other road users or pedestrians if they were involved in a collision with a Cybertruck," police said."

The university of Michigan released its consumer confidence index.

US consumer confidence is at the lowest level since 1951.

Trump tanked the economy in his first term!

Is he’s doing it to us again?
