Under the revision, manufacturers will have to publicly submit safety data for new ingredients. HHS says that such enhanced oversight will bring transparency to American consumers. Also on Monday, Kennedy met with executives from major food companies, including Pepsi, General Mills, and Kellogg's, and he urged them to eliminate certain dyes from their recipes.

Trump criticized Massey and vowed to lead a primary challenge against him. Massey, who has survived Trump-backed challenges before, said that the threats wouldn't change his vote. Democrats claim the bill threatens health care and veterans' benefits, but Speaker Mike Johnson says it contains no cuts to Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security.

Wall Street Turmoil & Ukraine’s Ceasefire Agreement | 3.12.25

Yeah, so about 15,000 officers and sergeants from nearly every single prison in New York went on strike last month. We've previously covered this here, but basically officers said that prisons had become totally unsafe for everyone following the implementation of the Democrat-backed HALT Act. In fact, just last year, more than 2,000 officers and almost 3,000 inmates were assaulted.

This is all tied into low recruitment and massive understaffing. Before the strike even started, there were 2,000 vacant positions inside the prison system. Now, despite a lot of pressure from Hochul and some pretty questionable tactics, thousands of officers remained on strike up until Monday, about 22 days since the first day of the strike.

In turn, Hochul fired all of those still on strike, about 2,000 officers and sergeants. And in a widely criticized move, she signed an executive order banning those employees from ever working for New York State again, including even for county governments.

Hochul has now declared the strike over and she says she'll abide by a strike resolution deal that she offered back on March 6th, though that deal was roundly rejected by the rank and file.

Right. And that doesn't even include these resignations that we haven't quantified yet. So what are the terms of the deal and does it address what the officers were concerned about? I mean, I would say generally no, and that's because the deal was rejected by most officers. In fact, after Hochul struck this deal, initially 8,000 officers remained on strike.

Now, as for what Hochul is offering, there will be a 90-day suspension to some provisions in the HALT Act, a commitment toward ending these sometimes days-long work shifts for officers, and bumped up overtime pay. Hochul also said that she'll stop her lawsuit against officers who've returned to work.
