US FDA suspends milk quality tests amid workforce cuts

 

WASHINGTON, April 21 (Reuters) - The Food and Drug Administration is suspending a quality control program for testing of fluid milk and other dairy products due to reduced capacity in its food safety and nutrition division, according to an internal email seen by Reuters.

The suspension is another disruption to the nation's food safety programs after the termination and departure of 20,000 employees of the Department of Health and Human Services, which includes the FDA, as part of President Donald Trump's effort to shrink the federal workforce.

The FDA this month also suspended existing and developing programs that ensured accurate testing for bird flu in milk and cheese and pathogens like the parasite Cyclospora in other food products.

Effective Monday, the agency suspended its proficiency testing program for Grade "A" raw milk and finished products, according to the email sent in the morning from the FDA's Division of Dairy Safety and addressed to "Network Laboratories."

Grade "A" milk, or fluid milk, meets the highest sanitary standards.

The testing program was suspended because FDA's Moffett Center Proficiency Testing Laboratory, part of its division overseeing food safety, "is no longer able to provide laboratory support for proficiency testing and data analysis," the email said.

HHS did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Trump administration has proposed cutting $40 billion from the agency.

The FDA's proficiency testing programs ensure consistency and accuracy across the nation's network of food safety laboratories. Laboratories also rely on those quality control tests to meet standards for accreditation.

"The FDA is actively evaluating alternative approaches for the upcoming fiscal year and will keep all participating laboratories informed as new information becomes available," the email said.

Još malo o posledicama mudrih odluka dnevne doze:

 

Many Canadian 'snowbirds' in US looking to pack up and fly north - for good

 

 

April 22 (Reuters) - The number of Canadian "snowbirds" planning to sell their second homes in sunny Florida and Arizona has surged this spring, many of them put off by the sudden chill that has blanketed relations between their homeland and the U.S.

Real estate agents say they are seeing more Canadians cashing out, further softening property prices in warm-weather states that have long attracted retirees and tourists from cold and snowy Canada.

Canadians spent close to $6 billion on U.S. real estate from April 2023 to March 2024 - making up 13% of all foreign transactions - more than any other nationality, according to data from the National Association of Realtors. Nearly half of the homes purchased by Canadians were for vacation purposes, with Florida, Arizona and Hawaii ranking as the top markets.

Last week, Tracy and Dale McMullen sold their vacation home in Buckeye, Arizona, a property they owned for five years. The Alberta residents, who usually spend four to five months in Arizona a year, said they are not planning to come back.

"We decided to sell the property after the current POTUS took office," said Dale, referring to U.S. President Donald Trump, who was inaugurated for the second time in January.

"It was time to leave. We felt we could not trust what he might do next to us as individuals and to our country. We no longer felt welcome nor safe."

Canadians are feeling stung by the actions and words of the Trump administration, which has imposed steep trade tariffs on its northern neighbor, threatening Canada's export-dependent economy. Trump's repeated suggestions that Canada should become a U.S. state, and his derogatory references to now-former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as "governor" have annoyed Canadians and offended their national pride.

As a result, many Canadians are boycotting U.S.-made goods, such as bourbon and produce and canceling trips to U.S. destinations.

Canadian return flights from the U.S. fell 13.5% in March from a year earlier, according to Statistics Canada. Canadian-resident return trips by automobile fell about 32%.

Real estate is now facing a similar pullback in demand.

Laurie Lavine, a realtor in Arizona who helped the McMullens with their sale, told Reuters that he currently has 18 listings from Canadians looking to sell, compared with the usual two to four per quarter.

Trade friction and the current weakness of the Canadian dollar are also contributing to the pullback, Lavine said. Canadians are also feeling "picked on," with U.S. border agents enforcing stricter rules on entering the country, he added.

Beginning this month, the Trump administration is requiring all foreigners 14 or older to register and submit fingerprints if they stay beyond 30 days. Canadians, who previously could visit for up to six months without a visa, are subject to the new requirement.

 

FLORIDA HIT HARD

The sour feelings that many Canadians suddenly feel toward the U.S. are having a big impact on the property market in Florida, one of the closest warm-weather states to Ontario and Quebec, Canada's most populous provinces.

"South Florida's residential market has for decades been reliant on the annual influx of Canadian snowbirds who either own property and pay property tax or rent for the winter months - either way, a boost to the economy," said Ermengarde Jabir, a director of economic research at Moody's Analytics.

The first quarter is typically the peak buying season for condominiums in the region, coinciding with when many snowbirds are in town, said Andrea Hartmann, managing partner of the Sandy Hartmann Group, a real estate firm in the Tampa Bay area.

"Since the beginning of the year we have not received an offer from a Canadian buyer even once, and normally we would," she said.

Florida's housing market is already reeling. Prospective buyers have faced rising insurance premiums, concerns over climate change and a series of devastating hurricanes in recent years.

In the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater region, mortgage lock volume for second homes - or the number of buyers securing rates ahead of purchases - fell 25% on a year-over-year basis in the first quarter of 2025, according to Optimal Blue, a mortgage technology and data company.

"Now with the political issue, the cost of maintaining a place here in Florida and the insurance, a lot of them decided to sell and go," said Ken O'Brian, owner of Southwest Coast Realty in Naples, which has specialized in helping Canadians purchase properties in Florida for about 20 years.

"There is no incentive to come to the States anymore," said Donny B., a native of Ontario who is looking to sell his two investment properties in Florida. Like many snowbirds interviewed for this story, he declined to give his surname, saying he feared backlash.

He said he decided to sell because of the political uncertainty, the exchange rate and concern about whether Floridians would still welcome Canadians in the current climate.

"I got down here on Wednesday and I was nervous. I'm like, 'are people going to be 'pissed off' at me?'"

Other states have started to see an exodus as well. Agents in Los Angeles and Palm Springs, California, are working with Canadian sellers who are quietly preparing to let go of their second homes, said Fatima Malik, global real estate advisor at Engel & Volkers Beverly Hills.

"Some are holding back to see how things play out, but others are already shifting their sights toward places like Portugal, Mexico, and parts of France," she added.

The dangerous Nazi legend behind Trump’s ruthless grab for power

 

Spoiler

From his failed Beer Hall putsch in Munich in 1923 to the Third Reich’s downfall 22 years later, Adolf Hitler spewed venom against what he called the “November Criminals” — Marxists and Jews who he claimed were responsible for Imperial Germany’s defeat in November 1918. Hitler’s assertion, based on a conspiracy theory concocted by Germany’s losing generals and conservative politicians, was ultimately embraced by much of the German populace. In German, this myth is called the Dolchstosslegende, or stabbed-in-the-back legend. Donald Trump has created an American version of the Dolchstosslegende, propagating a myth that the nation is being led to ruination by Joe Biden and the Democrats, prosecutors who go after Trump, judges who rule against him, non-MAGA news media, practitioners of “wokeism,” and elite universities, among others. Trump sometimes lumps together those who oppose him as Communists. Red baiting was good enough for Joe McCarthy, so why not for Donald Trump? All of this is utter nonsense, of course, but this American stabbed-in-the-back lie is at the core of Trump’s assaults on democracy.

 

To understand how this kind of toxic mythmaking can help lead a nation to catastrophe, it’s useful to examine Hitler’s deployment of the Dolchstosslegende to get Germans to buy into his contention that only he could overcome the economic, political and social instability that had rocked the final years of Germany’s first democracy, the Weimar Republic.

Outside of Hitler’s genocidal hatred of Jews, there seems to have been little that got him more worked up than Germany’s defeat in World War I. In fact, Hitler saw them as connected.

After Germany signed an armistice on Nov. 11, 1918, Germans were besieged by runaway inflation and rampant unemployment. Economic conditions began to improve around 1926, but the worldwide Great Depression brought a return of suffering. Daily political violence added to the turmoil. Coalition governments collapsed. Hitler and the Nazis exploited the situation by claiming that Germany’s World War I loss was caused by leftist politicians and Jews who sold out the country.

 

In Hitler’s first speech as chancellor on Feb. 10, 1933, he said: “Just as this (Nazi) movement today has been given the responsibility of the leadership of the German Reich, so shall we one day lead this German Reich back to life and to greatness.”

“Devastating conditions have descended upon our Volk,” he said. “For 14 years the parties of disintegration … have seduced and abused the German Volk. For 14 years they wreaked destruction, infiltration and dissolution.”

This Dolchstoss lie was the subject of a 1925 Munich court case that pitted a Socialist newspaper, the Munich Post, against the conservative South German Monthly magazine, whose editor, Paul Cossmann, published two booklets that vigorously promoted the stabbed-in-the-back myth. The Post accused Cossmann of falsifying history. Cossmann sued the Post for libel. During trial, testimony and historical documents showed that the stabbed-in-the-back claim was a falsification of history. But instead of winning the case, the Munich Post lost. The judge ruled that Cossmann could not be held accountable because he believed what he published, found the newspaper guilty of defamation, and fined it 3,000 Reichsmarks.

 

As extreme-right passions intensified, the Dolchstosslegende lived on. Hitler repeatedly employed it during his rallies. Once he was in power, he went beyond using the Dolchstosslegende as a rhetorical weapon. He literally tried to erase evidence of Germany’s World War I humiliation. According to historian Despina Stratigakos, in 1940 Hitler ordered the military to destroy World War I memorials in occupied Belgium and France. “The monuments, in Hitler’s eyes, served to defame the army and perpetuate hatred against the nation. Their eradication was thus necessary to restore Germany’s reputation and protect it for posterity,” Stratigakos wrote in a 2019 article for Architect magazine.

Which brings us to Donald Trump.

 

The transcript of Trump’s second inaugural address on Jan. 20 reads like a stabbed-in-the-back manifesto.

“For many years, a radical and corrupt establishment has extracted power and wealth from our citizens, while the pillars of our society lay broken and seemingly in complete disrepair,” he said.

In an executive order issued on March 27, and bearing the title “Restoring Truth and Sanity To American History,” Trump made it clear that he sees himself as the ultimate judge of how America’s story can be told. He set his crosshairs on one of the country’s most cherished repositories of history. The Smithsonian Institution, Trump fumed, has “promoted narratives that portray American and Western values as inherently harmful and oppressive.”

 

Trump put Vice President JD Vance in charge of “seeking to remove improper ideology” from the Smithsonian and its affiliated facilities, working with Congress to block funding for programs that “degrade shared American values,” and taking other steps to bring the museum into line with Trumpian ideology. Monuments, statues and memorials under the Interior Department’s jurisdiction, Trump decreed, shall not “disparage Americans past or living (including persons living in Colonial times), and instead focus on the greatness of the achievements and progress of the American people.”

 

Compare these words with those of Hitler in his first speech as chancellor: “We desire to bestow once more upon the Volk a genuinely German culture with German art, German architecture, and German music,” and to “evoke deep reverence for the accomplishments of the past, a humble admiration for the great men of German history.”

 

Trump’s attempts to exercise thought control over Americans expand by the week.

 

Nearly 400 books on the Holocaust, civil rights, racism and feminism were removed from the U.S. Naval Academy library. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, Maya Angelou’s bestselling memoir, is out. Mein Kampf, by Adolf Hitler, stays.

 

Book purges are also in the works at the U.S. Air Force Academy and West Point.

We are less than three months into Donald Trump’s second term. There will be many more lies, more scapegoating, more assaults on law firms, on higher education, on the free press, on the rule of law, on citizens’ rights, and on historical facts. What kind of America will we be living in four years from now? Have we already descended into a form of authoritarianism, or at least its pupal stages?

There are some signs of hope. Some law firms and universities are fighting back against Trump’s efforts to coerce them into bending to his will. Citizens are mobilizing, legions of them taking to the streets in protest of Trump’s power grabs. Courts have been ruling against his attempts to subvert the law. But none of this seems to faze him. And as appeals play out in rulings against him, he keeps using his authoritarian jackhammer against the foundations of American democracy.

A second Signal chat and fifth IRS head: Trump is comically bad. No one's laughing.

Former Fox News host seems to have taken the 'he is in no way qualified to run the Defense Department' concerns and worked overtime to prove them right.

Rex Huppke

USA TODAY

 

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is in boiling-hot water for texting U.S. war plans to seemingly everyone, the Dow is racing toward its worst April since the Great Depression, the U.S. dollar just hit a three-year low as the world questions the stability of America’s economy AND President Donald Trump, after fewer than 100 days in office, is already on his fifth IRS commissioner.

Oh, and grocery prices remain high and will likely rise more thanks to Trump’s tariffs.

I realize all of that might seem, to the untrained eye, almost comically bad. But trust me, it’s worse. A more accurate term would be “cosmically bad.”

Hegseth keeps proving how remarkably unqualified he is to lead the military

Let’s start with Hegseth, who, as I write this column, has probably leaked sensitive U.S. troop locations via Signal chat to his mom, Ted Nugent and an old Russian drinking buddy. The former Fox News host seems to have taken the “he is in no way qualified to run the Defense Department” concerns and worked overtime to prove them right.

Hegseth is now on his second texting-related scandal, this time involving a New York Times report that he shared details of U.S. strikes on Houthi rebels in Yemen with his personal attorney, his wife and his brother. You know, the normal array of people who should definitely be looped in on sensitive attack information via a commercial messaging app.

The earlier scandal involved a separate Signal chat group in which Hegseth spilled war-plan beans to, among others, an editor at The Atlantic. Oops!

Hegseth's Signal leaks show just how incompetent Trump's picks are

By April 21, NPR was reporting that the White House may be looking for someone to replace Hegseth, which makes sense, as it seems quite literally anyone would be more competent.

There is widespread reporting of chaos at the Department of Defense, where a number of Hegseth’s own people have recently been booted for allegedly leaking sensitive information, prompting this remarkably disconnected-from-reality comment from White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt:

“The administration and the president have taken a very strong stance against anyone who leaks, especially sensitive and classified information that can put our troops and our war fighters at risk. And you've seen the secretary has taken very strong action to rein in the leakers at the Pentagon and he will continue to do so I'm sure.”

Secretary Hegseth IS one of the leakers of sensitive information at the Pentagon! He probably leaked something new on Signal while Leavitt was making that ridiculous statement.

While Hegseth and Trump fiddle, the US economy burns

As both Leavitt and the leader of the world’s largest military demonstrate that America is celebrating a Golden Age of incompetence, the markets are following suit.

USA TODAY cited a note sent by Jonas Goltermann, deputy chief markets economist at Capital Economics, saying that Trump's tariffs have “resulted in a sharp fall in the dollar and what looks increasingly like a generalized loss of confidence in the U.S. as a safe haven in currency and bond markets.”

The Dow dropped 970 points on April 21, and major markets were all in the red, which is the color of MAGA. So maybe that’s good? I’m not sure.

If you listen to Trump and other administration officials, everything is going great now, so I’m assuming up is the new down and Americans’ retirement accounts are doing great as long as they don’t look at them.

Trump is changing IRS commissioners at a ludicrous pace

Beyond all of that nonsense ‒ and that is a lot of nonsense ‒ it’s worth noting that in a staggeringly brief period of time, Trump has burned through four IRS commissioners. 

As The Washington Post reported April 18: “President Donald Trump replaced acting IRS commissioner Gary Shapley on Friday, three days after he was selected for the position, as rapid leadership changes continue to rock the agency charged with collecting and disbursing billions of dollars in revenue and benefits.”

Deputy Treasury Secretary Michael Faulkender became the fifth ‒ count ‘em, the FIFTH! ‒ IRS head since Trump took office Jan. 20. If this keeps up, the president is on pace to go through roughly 80 IRS commissioners in his four-year term.

Unless he has some secret plan to bring stability to his administration and the American economy.

If he does, I’m sure we’ll learn about it via a Hegseth group chat that includes his dog walker, Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, Elon Musk and a dude Hegseth met at a hotel bar in Bangor, Maine, back in 1993.

Sve fenomene acte, koje je TD objavio i izprovocirao druge zemlje, cak i kad ih redom budemo povlacili i lizali za njim, druga strana moze da ostavi svoje, dok im se svidi.

Zakljucak, idemo na Mars. Zezam se, ali zivot u US nece vise biti, kao sto je bio pre 30 god.

Ne mozes sve gledati jednostrano, ima i mnogo stvari u kojima je Tramp uradio izuzetno mnogo za Sjedinjene Drzave- preimenovao je planinu na Aljasci i zaliv u Pacifiku, omogucio vladinim kontraktorima da opet imaju segregaciju wc-a, omogucio Railey Gaines da ne dijeli peto mjesto na prvesnstvu skole, nego da sama bude peta, ukinuo papirne slamke, povecao pritisak vode u tusevima, i vratio clean, beautiful ugalj  u upotrebu, ukinuo finansiranje istrazivanja na transgenic misevima, opalio tarife pingvinima... Malo li je za 100 dana?

3520% je sracunato po genijalnoj formuli za koju ce neko dobiti Nobelovu Nagadu za Ekonomiju, a onih 1% je pritisak na Kambodzu da konacno sjedne za pregovaracki sto sa Sjedinjancima i pristanu na ukidanje svih tarifa...

Ja misim, da DT sve sto kaze ozbiljno misli u momentu kad izjavi, ali posle nije siguran sta je mislio.

Briga njega, sto je zemlja okrugla, ispravice on to. 🙂 

 

Ja mislim da nista od toga ne misli ozbiljno. Prica jedno radi drugo. Bukvalno troluje svaki dan. Ja odavno vise ne slusam uopste sta prica, gledam sta radi. Ne smeta mu da povuce sta god je rekao.

Kao neko ko se bavi investicijama, volela bih da mi kaze unapred sta je plan, ali ocekivala sam haos, tako da nisam nesto iznenadjena.

Upravo to je samo za buvljak. Ne sme da trese kavez celom svetu.

Na kraju i sve što je do sada uradio neće vratiti onako kako on misli da treba. Politika nije rulet.

I od onoga sto radi sta ti si najvise dopada:

 

- koncentracioni logori u Salvadoru ? S najavom mogucnosti da se deportovanje prosiri i na drzavljane...

- ukidanje studentskih viza i lov na ljude po ulicama - drzavljana i legalnih imigranata takodje?

- srozavanje povjerenja u berzu suludim kockanjem sa ekonomijom ? 

- maltretiranje Ukrajine i Zelenskog ?

- unistavanje saveznistava  i NATO-a? 

- unistavanje svih mjera zastite od cybersecurity napada?

- drzanje na pozicijama nekompetentnih idiota koji svaki korak - i svoj i vojske objavljuju unaprijed na socijalnim mrezama (Hegseth)...

- pretvaranje zemlje u sprdnju u svjetskim okvirima - od Amerike do Sjedinjenije... Za manje od 90 dana

Ali kako se u Kini smeskaju dok Trump kusa sve sto je uneredio proteklih nedelja, mora da im je toplo oko srca ovo plakanje da se 'my friend' Xi javi i sve ce biti u redu sa taksama. Pokajnicke suze predsednika su okrenule indekse na berzama u zeleno i u USA i u Aziji.

 

Ne mogu a da ne ponovim, kakav klovn. Kroz parolu da ce uciniti Ameriku velikom, zapravo je ucinio nikad manjom. Posle samo par nedelja trgovinskog rata, sad vec na kolenima moli Xija za pregovore. Iskreno se nadam da ce ga Kinezi ostaviti da se jos malo krcka u tom sosu koji je sam zakuvao. 

 

Musk, kao i slicna gamad, dok ponovo najavljuje da se povlaci iz bitne uloge u administraciji, gleda kako da napusti ovaj brod ludaka koji ne vise sporo, koliko sigurno tone. Ali se iskreno nadam da mu niko nece oprostiti sve gluposti koje je poslednjih godina napravio. 

[djura.net]

Da dodam osecaj zadovoljstva na nalog sudije da zaustavi rasformiranje Glasa Americke, mada verujem da ce sudija narednih dana (verovatno i sati) biti podvrgnut mafijaskim pritiscima i pretnjama Vrhovnog Klovna da ce ga otpustiti/smeniti/najuriti.

 

Sto se tice Hegsetha, njegov ostanak posle bezbedonsonih afera kakve bi dovele do nogobulja i na Farskim Ostrvima, samo pokazuje strukturu cirkuzanata koji okruzuju Vrhovnog Klovna. A ja se zaista plasim da bi eventualna smena dovela jos goreg 'strucnjaka' na tako bitnu pozociju.

To je poenta, bukvalno nikad nisam jače navijao nego sad za to da se pokaže istinitim to čime se Amerikanci oduvijek hvale - da je njihova demokratija najčvršća i najvitalnija na svijetu - pa da na vlast dođu neki ljudi koji će da pokupe ovu bandu i da im sude za veleizdaju.

[Dzoni_m]

Nazalost nisu oni svesni toga. Nemaju moc kritickog razmisljanja i najvaznije sagledavanja posledica. Ovo sto je narandzasti klovn uradio sada, rezultate ce pokazati za par godina. A onda ce neki drugi Obama biti kriv.

Da nisu ovo oni homegrowns? 

 

As leaders of America’s colleges, universities, and scholarly societies, we speak with one voice against the unprecedented government overreach and political interference now endangering American higher education. We are open to constructive reform and do not oppose legitimate government oversight. However, we must oppose undue government intrusion in the lives of those who learn, live, and work on our campuses. We will always seek effective and fair financial practices, but we must reject the coercive use of public research funding.

America’s system of higher learning is as varied as the goals and dreams of the students it serves. It includes research universities and community colleges; comprehensive universities and liberal arts colleges; public institutions and private ones; freestanding and multi-site campuses. Some institutions are designed for all students, and others are dedicated to serving particular groups. Yet, American institutions of higher learning have in common the essential freedom to determine, on academic grounds, whom to admit and what is taught, how, and by whom. Our colleges and universities share a commitment to serve as centers of open inquiry where, in their pursuit of truth, faculty, students, and staff are free to exchange ideas and opinions across a full range of viewpoints without fear of retribution, censorship, or deportation.

Because of these freedoms, American institutions of higher learning are essential to American prosperity and serve as productive partners with government in promoting the common good. Colleges and universities are engines of opportunity and mobility, anchor institutions that contribute to economic and cultural vitality regionally and in our local communities. They foster creativity and innovation, provide human resources to meet the fast-changing demands of our dynamic workforce, and are themselves major employers. They nurture the scholarly pursuits that ensure America’s leadership in research, and many provide healthcare and other essential services. Most fundamentally, America’s colleges and universities prepare an educated citizenry to sustain our democracy.

The price of abridging the defining freedoms of American higher education will be paid by our students and our society. On behalf of our current and future students, and all who work at and benefit from our institutions, we call for constructive engagement that improves our institutions and serves our republic.
