The GOP budget would cut the monthly benefit for fruits and vegetables for pregnant mothers from $54 to $13. Young children living in poor families would see their monthly fruit and vegetable benefit reduced from $27 to $10. That would be about 5 apples, maximum fruit/vegetbales. Per month.

FDA approves three new food colors from natural sources! Synthetic dyes are replaced with algae, pea flower, & calcium-based alternatives. #FoodSafety #NaturalColors #FDA #MAHA www.fda.gov/food/cfsan-c...

Yes. This is a world I am not familiar with. Experts are being deported, while charlatans are being escalated to positions of authority. I fear for the health of our country. During this time promote experts in the fields of science, medicine, dietetics, nutrition…

I’m so confused by the folks who said that raising the minimum wage would increase the price of every day goods while also being okay with tariffs raising the price of every day goods… I reckon they are okay paying higher prices as long as it doesn’t help anyone making a minimum wage.

Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.

I did not have Gustavo Dudamel/LA Philharmonic/Cynthia Erivo/Purple Rain on my Coachella 2025 Bingo card But thankful it happened

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge?

“We must dissent because America can do better.” Good to hear Wisconsin Judge Susan Crawford quote Justice Thurgood Marshall in her victory speech tonight.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.

Senator Booker is about to read The Unknown Soldier, and he's getting choked up. And so am I. This comes during a discussion about Trump and Musk GUTTING the Department of Veterans Affairs. He will break the Senate speech record in three hours and 20 minutes.

Was able to speak for a while this morning as @booker.senate.gov enters Hour 13 of holding the Senate floor. With two glasses of water and sheer determination, he’s telling the world that America is fighting back against this President. Go Cory!
