There was a Mitch McConnell sighting in the Senate last week, which could mean a proof of life for Mitch McConnell … but probably not for the farm bill. Helena and Theodore both think Congress is basically cooked. Meanwhile, RFK Jr.’s speech at the Children’s Health Defense Conference in D.C. showed everyone he is still very, very antivax, and that the movement has a “strong and steadfast friend in the White House.” Bonus content: Mamdani food porn and a $60 loaf of rye in Manhattan.
