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.

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.

So heβs saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we wonβt be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didnβt prepare for that possibility? Heβs running the govt like he ran his casinos.

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.

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."
