Toxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.

Incredible that we're 10 years into Republicans implementing "art of the deal" bullshit and the recurring theme is "we're so bad at negotiating that we don't have anything specific to ask for."

Every budget showdown, Obamacare, etc. It keeps happening!

The Trump Administration’s War on Children The administration is quietly putting America’s children at risk by cutting funds and manpower for investigating child abuse, enforcing child support payments, providing child care and much more.

Trump has indefinitely withdrawn federal funding for:
β€’ Investigating child sexual abuse and internet crimes against kids;
β€’ Responding to reports of missing children;
β€’ Preventing youth violence

Opinion | Trump is killing one of our strongest exports The president wants to balance U.S. trade deficits? He can’t do it without this industry he hates.

Now there's a memorable stat!

"Colleges and universities are among America’s most competitive international exporters. In dollar terms, last year, the United States sold more educational services to the rest of the world than it sold in natural gas and coal combined."

Some of the big ideas I've been associated with in my career:
1. Supply and demand applies to housing
2. People like politicians who take popular positions
3. Police help prevent crime
4. The Orange Man is bad
5. China's large population matters a lot for power politics
