Last year some regrettable cost cutting decisions were made about foodborne pathogen testing, ending 28 years of screening for cyclosporiasis and quickly catching and quenching several outbreaks. Now we still have no idea what the source of this outbreak is. This is the price!!!
CDC cuts back foodborne illness surveillance program
The CDC's FoodNet program has reduced required surveillance from eight foodborne pathogens to two, a move some experts warn could leave the country more vulnerable to outbreaks.

According to Statcast fielding for 3B, Max Muncy is both the best defender (+6 runs) and the worst (-6). This proves that WAR is flawed and must be abolished.

“No means no”
A concept that Trevor Bauer does not understand in 2026
Hypothetical: You’re the owner of an MLB team. I offer to take $0 salary and sign a minor league contract and go to Low A.
If the “he sucks now” crowd is right and I get lit up, you cut me, lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club.
If the “clubhouse cancer” crowd is right, you see it immediately at Low A and cut me. You lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club.
If there’s massive negative PR, which we already know there won’t be, you just cut me and move on. The story is dead in a couple days, you lose $0, and there’s no risk to the big league club.
But, assuming none of those things happen, which they obviously wouldn’t, if you like what you see, you can promote me to AA and re evaluate me there. Then AAA. Then the big leagues. If I earn it, which you’d be 100% in control of deciding. If you don’t think I’m good enough, you lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club.
You could take away my “antics”. You could take away my social media. You could ask anything of me. If I don’t comply, you cut me, lose $0, and there’s no risk to the big league club.
What logical reason is there to not do this? At worst, you cut me and there’s no risk to the big league club. At best, you get a Cy Young winner for $0 who you know can still pitch and could help the big league team if and when you see fit.

Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

So @SecKennedy just flat-out denied ever saying that Black kids on ADD meds should be "re-parented."
Here's the recording from the "19Keys show."
"Every Black kid is now ... put on Adderall ... and those kids are going to have a chance to go somewhere and get re-parented."

NEW: Epstein Survivor Marijke Chartouni reacts to Andrew's arrest:
"If only the US Justice Department acted as decisively. It took British police less than three weeks from the release of the latest tranche of Epstein files to arrest Andrew, making Pam Bondi and Kash Patel look increasingly inept."

When Kansas did a version of the SAVE Act, it purged around 40 ineligible voters - and stopped 31,000 legal citizens from registering to vote (12% of all applicants). That's 775 legal voters lost for every 1 ineligible voter.

This year’s Super Bowl was one long fart noise and this year’s World Series was one of the best ever but I had to spend the whole winter hearing about how MLB needs to remodel itself to be more like the NFL. How about no

Free speech absolutists — silent as Trump arrests Don Lemon.
Second Amendment activists — mute when he blames Alex Pretti’s murder on his firearm.
Every last one of them are fucking hypocrites.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Not a surprising finding. US import prices (which, as reported by BLS, do *not* include mechanical tariff effects) in 2025 have remained flat or up all year on average. Other countries bear tariff burden when they *lower* their prices.
New research from the Kiel Institute for the World Economy analyzed $4T of shipments between Jan 2024 and Nov 2025, and found that American companies & consumers absorbed 96% of the burden of US tariff increases: wsj.com/economy/trade/americ…

REMINDER that no ICE agent has EVER been killed in the line of duty OR been convicted of a crime for shooting someone ... meaning their victimhood narrative is a hoax, as is any public accountability for agents.
