Inside the Republican network behind big soda’s bid to pit Maga against Maha A Guardian investigation finds the US soda and snack-food industries, threatened by RFK Jr’s movement to change Americans’ eating habits, have turned to a group of well-connected strategists, shadowy ...

RFK Jr. will never challenge the underlying factors in most chronic disease: fast food, processed food, soft drinks, corn subsidies (and all that corn syrup), food deserts, and social media. Pharma relies on the morbidities related to diet and inactivity. Corporate greed is what ails us.

That's almost 3% of the adult population. Excellent. Let's keep it going and growing.

An ICE agent arrested for drunk driving with his kids in the car tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers (β€œAre you Haitian?”)

These are the agents Stephen Miller & Kristi Noem are hiring to carry out their cruel immigration policies

"Bless her heart?" May the wrath of her late father, RaΓΊl, come to haunt Johnson. (I suspect it's already on the way.)

"Cancelization?" Is that what Trump's cuts are called?

What an unfortunate "legacy" for an elder stateswoman to choose. Entitlement does seem to grow with age, at least in this generation.

Given the absurdity of this "bailout," I hope they also took time to share hairstyling secrets.

They're absolutely dedicated to failing, and to finding new, more ridiculous ways to do so. Enraging!

It is amazing how much time and money the "establishment" Dems continue to waste on such entitlement pursuits. They remain determined to lose. Every damn time.

He could simply propose a caption such as "deep in thought" or "concerned about the futures of the American people."

The problem is, he's too mundane to do that.

This is not a cabinet meeting. It's the rumbling of a junk drawer with useless items clanking against each other incessantly.

Does no one at least attempt to provide some guidance to him? Or is there no one around him who understands the basics?

The libertarian Cato Institute has done some important, well-researched reports. If anyone can expose this ICE mess, from unqualified hires to impersonators, it's them.

Stay tuned for a statement from Kash Patel about engravings on bullet casings that were miraculously preserved in the fire.

Opinion | Six surgeons general: It’s our duty to warn the nation about RFK Jr. We took an oath to declare dangers when we found them. We’re doing that again today.

The momentum is growing. He has to go!

I fear we will be playing CSNY's "Ohio" and "Chicago" in mourning and outrage. Someone is going to get hurt, and it won't be national guard troops.

I am beyond shocked and shaken. She stridently performs as a propagandist reincarnated from the Third Reich. Her comfort level is terrifying.
