One dairy farm in Fresno, California has been linked to 13 recalls and 6 separate outbreaks since 2006. That farm’s owner was personally recruited by the HHS Secretary to advise the FDA on raw milk policy. Mark McAfee owns Raw Farm, the nation’s largest raw milk producer. Kennedy counts him as a personal supplier. In October 2024, Kennedy posted that the “FDA’s war on public health is about to end,” listing raw milk among the suppressed products. He then recruited McAfee to apply for an FDA advisory role on raw milk standards. Here’s what the “war” was actually doing. October 2023: Raw Farm raw milk sickened 164 people with Salmonella across four states. Twenty hospitalized. Patients ranged from under 1 year old to 87. February 2024: FDA linked Raw Farm cheddar to E. coli O157:H7. The company issued a voluntary recall, then withdrew it 10 days later. December 2024: California recalled Raw Farm raw milk twice for bird flu. Five indoor cats in one household died after drinking it. Now March 2026. Same company, same product. Seven E. coli cases. Four of the seven patients are three years old or younger. The FDA asked Raw Farm to pull their cheddar from shelves. The company refused and called the investigation “egregious and extreme harassment.” This tells you everything about what “health freedom” means in practice. The company has survived 13 recalls across five different pathogens: E. coli, Salmonella, Campylobacter, Listeria, and bird flu. Over 200 documented illnesses. Product still on Sprouts shelves nationwide. The owner’s proposed solution was a voluntary certification program he wrote himself. They wrapped all of this in “ending the FDA’s war on public health” because that’s the only version of this story where the farm is the victim.

I’ve been curious about the shape of this graph for a while, particularly because Tether has long said it intended to reduce secured loans.

Someone in the Bitcoin Today space just claimed that owning BTC is the most revolutionary act you could ever do in human history ... without a hint of sarcasm or humor. They were 100% serious.

Once upon a time, Tether caveated their quarterly attestations with language to the effect that their secured loans were not to affiliated entities. They ceased this caveat in early 2022.

BREAKING: Trump post about Israeli attack on Iranian gas field and threatens Iran over its attacks

1. Sorry for the loss 2. It’s bad idea to invest 20 years worth of work in one asset 3. If you do, it’d better be a low risk asset 4. If it’s not, you want to get good insurance 5. If insurance is too expensive or unavailable, it’s a good tell that the asset is too risky.

I have been deliberately silent on social media for a while. I use all my social media platforms to promote education & make dreams come true for young minds. I rarely post anything about family or politics. This morning, Israel demolished the building I have an apartment in. It took 22 years of my work here & 20 years of my wife’s work to own this apartment. This madness has to stop.

The Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan says that Iran’s attacks on its neighbors “will have consequences,” stating that if Iran thinks the Gulf states are incapable of responding, it is mistaken, adding that Gulf countries "reserve the right to take military actions if deemed necessary." In a press conference after the emergency meeting of Foreign Ministers from Arab and Islamic countries in Riyadh, bin Farhan said that there is coordination among the GCC countries to confront Iranian attacks. “We will take the appropriate decisions to defend our countries and resources. We will resort to all means to stop Iranian attacks. Both political and non-political responses to Iran are possible,” the Saudi FM said. Bin Farhan accused Iran of planning its attacks on Gulf countries in advance, stating that the attacks have eroded trust in Tehran and will increase Iran's isolation. “Iran is pursuing a policy of blackmail to achieve its goals. It cannot be a partner with its hostile behavior,” bin Farhan said.

Trump seems to believe that our NATO allies have some secret naval capacity to open the Strait that the USN for reason lacks but why would that be the case? It’s just very narrow.
