Using a wife beater and convicted rapist to sell weird MAHA dietary theories is so on brand for this administration.
You might remember the superbowl MAHA ad featuring Mike Tyson. Go to the page, which clearly labeled as a US government website, and you are encouraged to use Grok.

I think so, but that depends on us.
We can’t get complacent. We can’t get bullied. We can’t be intimidated by ICE or any other thugs they try to use to prevent people from voting.
The Senate will be tougher for sure, but I think we can get there with the right plan.

News gathering is not a profit-making enterprise. It never has been, it never will be. Indeed, since it challenges power and corruption, it always faces blowback from rich people who can give money to the opera or Harvard or whatever instead.

It took the outcry of a nation to bring 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father back to Minnesota from an ICE detention facility, and now the Trump administration is trying to fast-track their deportations.

What is America doing to hold the Epstein class accountable?
We need to haul these powerful men before Congress.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.
If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.
