- Reposted by Emily CassidyThis isn’t some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein’s sexual abuse.
- Reposted by Emily CassidyA UAE investor secretly gave Trump $187 million and his top Middle East envoy $31 million. And then Trump gave that investor access to sensitive defense technology that broke decades of national security precedent. Brazen, open corruption. And we shouldn't pretend it's normal.

- Reposted by Emily Cassidy“It’s cold outside where I live today, therefore climate change doesn’t exist” is like saying “I had breakfast this morning, therefore hunger doesn’t exist”
- As an immigrant and an American, I stand with the people of Minneapolis on strike today. You can’t terrorize a city and expect business as usual.

- Reposted by Emily CassidyYes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

- "The New Pyramid" for the U.S. dietary guidelines is... upside down? And the "Scientific Foundation" looks like something from Cards Against Humanity. Checks out. realfood.gov
- Mayo Clinic: "Contrary to all the hype that everyone needs more protein, most people in the U.S. meet or exceed their needs." New US Dietary Guidelines: "Prioritize Protein" and "Consume Dairy" (3 servings of dairy a day?!) Did the beef and dairy lobby write this? 👀 cdn.realfood.gov/DGA.pdf

- Heartbreaking essay on Tatiana Schlossberg's terminal cancer diagnosis. During Schlossberg's treatment, she learns one of her chemo drugs, cytarabine, owes its existence to an ocean animal: a sponge that lives in the Caribbean Sea.
- I'm touched by Schlossberg's story, made especially tragic by her cousin, RFK Jr., cutting research into cancer treatments.
