"Ultra-processed foods, or UPFs, are factory-made formulations produced largely from refined ingredients, additives (including colorings and preservatives) and little-to-no whole foods. Using artificial flavors and sweeteners, these foods are designed for more palatable tastes and longer shelf life.

While the full extent of ultra-processed foods on the human body is still being researched, ingesting UPFs ' including packaged meats like hot dogs and bologna ' has been associated with more than 30 health conditions, such as Type 2 diabetes, heart diseases, mental health disorders and obesity.

What's more, the researchers at UT Austin noted that "foods children consume during the toddler years can shape taste preferences and dietary habits that persist throughout childhood, influencing long-term health."

'Member when Anti-Fascists defeated Hitler?

Republicans don't.

- Screw the National Debt.

Too late... Republicans got there first.

HERE's another Poll:

"Half of Americans think the U.S. should arrest Netanyahu if he comes to the country"

More likely they'll go to a MMA fight and film it for Trump... you know how he likes half naked men!

"His assets there include nearly two dozen Mercedes Benz cars and several other luxury vehicles, a villa in an exclusive area near Moscow (and another owned by a family member), several businesses, and even a stake in an MMA club tied to a member of Russian parliament whose family is considered close to Chechen strongman leader Ramzan Kadyrov."

Shady must be looking over his shoulder... this guy sounds perfect for VP in DJT's third term!

- when it was Biden

Whataboutismbot.

- "We are facing tyranny..."

When even former DJT sycophant Alex Jones thinks he is a rwing Tyrant, then he really is a rwing Tyrant.

It's become interesting how many former Trump Cultists like him and MTG and Mother Tucker and others are speaking out against their first love.

El Turdo liked him much better after his Nazi salute to an auditorium full of his fellow Nazis.

Visitor from Planet Trump, rofl!

It's a Facts Optional planet.

Speaking of lame conspiracy theorists...

"There is no public or medical record showing that Dr. Anthony Fauci suffered a pulmonary embolism, and claims stating otherwise are unsubstantiated rumors.

The unverified claim regarding a pulmonary embolism appears to misinterpret or falsely connect unrelated historical news coverage, such as the federal pause on the Johnson & Johnson vaccine in April 2021 due to extremely rare clotting events

.No credible or official documentation supports the assertion that Dr. Fauci experienced this specific medical event." per CBS news

And then Trump says about Graham at his funeral, "He never saw a war he didn't like.".

Which was apparently a return compliment for Graham's quotes above.

"This funding sparked a fierce political and legal battle over whether the experiments technically qualified as "gain-of-function".

Senator Rand Paul has aggressively campaigned against former NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci, accusing him of funding dangerous "supervirus" engineering and trying to cover up a lab leak.

Dr. Fauci has consistently maintained that the NIH-funded research did not meet the strict regulatory definition of dangerous GoF enhancement, making a pandemic strain molecularly impossible to emerge from those specific trials."

Since the thread link is a nothingburger joke, here's an actual article on topic:

"Paul has an "unhinged obsession with me," and his motive for the hearing is to "get me to say something " anything " that could vindicate his repeated public pledges that I end up, in his words, quote, behind bars, unquote," Fauci said.

"Although it pains me to do so ... under the advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution to refrain from answering your questions," Fauci said.

"Paul also ordered Fauci's lawyer removed from the committee room for trying to speak.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said the hearing is part of a "campaign against science" that "has made this country less safe."

"If there are valid scientific questions about the origins of this pandemic ... they should certainly be addressed, but not in a show trial, not as part of a continuing vendetta against a single individual," Blumenthal said."

As usual, no argument from LHT, merely juvenile ad hominem.

Excellent posts... am I in the right place?

Hilarious!

"The loan documents were publicly released in November, and the DNC's building was also used as collateral in our prior lines of credit in 2019, 2018, 2014 and many other years," the spokesperson said.

Federal Election Commission filings match the DNC's statement.

The amount of money parties brings in varies drastically depending on the politics of the year.

During the 2024 presidential election cycle, the DNC brought in an astronomical amount of money " $683.6 million. Other years, like between 2013-2014, the DNC only brought in about $163 million.

Republicans see similar swings.

During the 2020 presidential election, the RNC raised $890.5 million; between 2013-2014, the party only brought in about $195 million.

The DNC is tight for cash, but Democratic candidates out-raise Republicans

In key midterm races across the country, Democratic candidates are significantly out-fundraising Republicans."

What moroons.

Good advice... I was just making JeffyBelle turn blue in the face.

"Presidential approval ratings below 40 percent have historically preceded difficult midterm cycles for the incumbent party.

Trump had a 40 percent approval rating at the equivalent point in his first term, according to Gallup, ahead of the 2018 midterms, when Democrats flipped 41 House seats.

Analysts tracking the 2026 midterms have pointed to Trump's approval among independents, currently well below 40 percent in most surveys, as the most decisive figure for forecasting House control, since Republican base support has remained relatively stable near 90 percent throughout his term.

The Economist/YouGov poll also found only 27 percent of respondents say the country is headed in the right direction, compared with 63 percent who say it is on the wrong track.

Congressional approval registered even lower than Trump's, with just 12 percent approving of the job Congress is doing, underscoring broad dissatisfaction with Washington heading into the midterms in which control of the House and Senate will be decided."

Can you say, "Blue Wave"?

We have the President of the US asking HIS Supreme Court to force States to give over Voter Rolls, but an ongoing Investigation in NJ that hasn't come to any conclusion of abuse is the important issue?

What unpatriotic turds Trumpers are.

"As soon as he learned about the proposal, one of the U.S. scientists who took part in the landmark project rushed to file his objection with the federal government.

"These experiments take decades to build and require sustained, cooperative international investment," University of Chicago physics professor David W. Miller wrote in a public comment.

"The experiments will continue, without American leadership. ... The United States will not just fall behind. It will step aside."

The rule's implications reach far beyond physics. Proposed by the Office of Management and Budget, a little-known but powerful part of the White House that guides federal spending, it would give the administration's political appointees across dozens of federal agencies significant discretion over how grants are awarded and terminated. The appointees don't have to know anything about science or the subjects of the grants they're reviewing.

"Russell Vought, who runs the office and has made expanding presidential control over federal spending one of his signature goals, has put the philosophy into practice over the past two years, helping to dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development and, in another controversial move, blocking funds already allocated by Congress.

Vought's decision last year to cancel 284 Department of Energy grants drew renewed criticism after an agency lawyer recently admitted in court records that the terminations were "based solely on the political identity of the grant recipient's state" " in other words, blue states."

Joe Goebbels would be proud!

Kings don't need no stinking Laws.

Especially when they already own a corrupt Supreme Court and corrupt Gov officials that they appointed.

"However, the poll also found that 14% of Texas voters remain undecided, with 19% leaning toward Paxton, 10% toward Talarico, and 5% toward Libertarian Ted Brown.

Among Black and Latino voters, Talarico is strongly favored, leading Black voters by 63 points (71% to 8%) and Latino voters by 46 points (66% to 20%).

Paxton, on the other hand, leads among white voters by 20 points (53% to 33%)."

Sounds about right for white Texas... many of whom don't know any black or brown people unless they are waiting their tables.
