The FDA Let Substandard Factories Ship These Medications to the U.S. ProPublica identified more than 150 products that were exempted from import bans since 2013. Our list provides the names of the drugs or ingredients and their manufacturers, many of which are no longe...

NEW: In June, ProPublica reported that the FDA has given more than 20 foreign factories a special pass to send drugs to the U.S. even though they were made at plants the agency had banned.

Today, we’re publishing a list of those exempted drugs.

Note to Dems: When you fail to correct the facts, quickly, loudly, and repeatedly, then the bullshit becomes the understood truth. Yes, people absolutely should feel safe in their neighborhoods. But propaganda induced fears aren't facts. Security theater doesn't make anyone safer.

I imagine his team is just wishing his campaign phone, regular phone, tablet, laptop, watch, landlines, $8k/month apartment, and our memories of his last 72 hours on social media would just get crushed under a free bus.

Abbott wants Texas Dems to be removed from office for "abandoning" their voters for 10 days. Yet my Congressman Sylvester Turner died on March 5th & Abbott didn't call for a replacement election until November with an expect runoff in December. I'll go 10 months without representation. Weird, right?

SCARBOROUGH: β€œHospitals in your district say they have to cut services bc of your vote to cut Medicaid by almost $1 TRILLION.”

LAWLER: β€œThey’re parroting talking points.”

If you cannot go to the bathroom at work, you cannot go to work. If you cannot go to the bathroom at school, you cannot go to school. This effectively bans transgender people from a broad swath of public life in the UK

Cuomo doing the honorable thing and helping to end the housing crisis by not living in the city. He also appears to think that women living in NYC should probably make about $60k a year. (That wouldn't even work in Westchester, Andy.)

Honestly, how is he so bad at this?

Scarborough loses patience with Mike Lawler after Lawler lies that Republicans didn't actually cut Medicaid: "Congressman, you can keep talking if you want to, but are you saying you know doctors' business, you know hospital administrators' business better than they know their own business?"

Cartels may be able to target witnesses after major court hack There is growing concern that cartels and foreign actors could use the stolen data to identify informants and foil criminal probes.

BREAKING: Drug cartels are feared to be among those that obtained sensitive court data due to a sweeping breach of the federal judiciary’s case filing system.

As the piece notes, the PragerU propaganda is being used in schools in Louisiana, Florida, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Montana, Arizona, South Carolina and Idaho.

Check with your district to see if they're using this garbage to brainwash your kids.

ICYMI: Lina Khan wrote at @nytopinion.nytimes.com about our campaign's connection to small businesses and why we need to fight the concentrated economic power that too often suffocates them.

It's not just good for a thriving local economy β€” it's good politics too.

In 2016, Ghislaine Maxwell falsely stated, under oath, that she was not aware that Jeffrey Epstein recruited underage girls for sex (you know, the ones she was actually recruiting on his behalf). She was charged with two counts of perjury for this.

Remind me why we give a shit what she says now?

It’s Pritzker’s party: Hell yes, he’s messing with Texas, and he’s not sorry So far, Pritzker’s political instincts are paying off.

Texas Democrats had ruled out a β€œquorum bust” due to cost and logistical challenges, until Pritzker offered to finance and organize the operation. Now they give official press conferences in front of Pritzker’s campaign logo. thehill.com/opinion/camp...
