For me chronic illness feels like fighting trench warfare, like those poor boys in WWI: desperately trying to hold the line against further incursion, further pain, further loss. Knowing that the best you can do is to not let things get any worse. #HoldTheLine #ChronicIllnessSucks

Trump fires all 3 Democrats on the Consumer Product Safety Commission

The Consumer Product Safety Commission works to protect Americans from dangerous products and issuing recalls and warnings. It's the latest attempt by Trump to exact control over independent agencies.

It’s a recalibration of economic control.

Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way.

When the dust finally settles, they will own more.

The rest of us will own less. A lot less.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.

Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Trump signed an executive order canceling the collective bargaining rights for 67% of the federal workforce — making it harder to demand fair pay, benefits, and safe working conditions.

How is this a pro-worker presidency?

We should all be terrified to live in an America where legal residents can be detained, held at gunpoint, or deported because of the color of their skin or because the President disagrees with their views.

Utah banned fluoridated water:
water with 0.7 grams of fluoride for every 1,000,000 grams of water.

The claim? It’s harmful.
The reality? It isn’t ⬇️

An adult would need to consume 357 LITERS of that water A DAY to have a possible risk of adverse effects from fluoride.
