Who's Watching Your Food? | Trump Hollows Out the FDA as Recalls Hit the Highest Risk Level — August 20, 2026
Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description
A record food outbreak has sickened more than 11,000 Americans, the FDA just upgraded a frozen blueberry recall to Class One over E. coli, and Trump's answer is to nominate Heidi Overton, a White House loyalist with no management experience, to run an FDA that's lost a fifth of its staff. Adam also covers the Moderna-Merck mRNA cancer vaccine breakthrough that RFK Jr.'s research cuts put at risk, the Army killing its Ukraine-inspired drone battalion, the NYT report on Jennifer Hegseth's role inside the Pentagon, and Trump admitting he's rooting for bad economic news.
