I strongly oppose this plan and will fight to protect mail delivery in rural Missouri. If I have to, I’ll go down with the ship to ensure rural and urban areas receive timely mail, which is currently failing. Taxpayers have supported the postal service, and despite past legislation reducing liabilities, we still see poor delivery. I've expressed concerns about the Kansas City area and the Bering post office, which has been delayed for two years. My patience is exhausted, and I expect improvements in service and the reopening of the Bering post office as promised. I hope we can work together moving forward.

Do you wanna talk about microplastics and mitigation strategies? It's really a big mess. We now know they're in chewing gum. So anything with the word gum base is made of a plastic polymer. So if you chew gum, it has to be plastic free gum. I started chewing gum when I learned about the research showing that xylitol could inhibit some of the S mutagens bacteria that are involved in cavity formation. And then a few years later, you're like, God damn it. I'm like, well, I was able to reverse cavities multiple times. And my doctor was like, keep doing it. I'm like, yes, the Xylitol. This year the study came out with the gum. And I was devastated. This has been a source of microplastics that I had no idea.

As the Biden administration ends, a new rule requires renewed surveys for well and pipeline drilling, raising drilling costs. These increased costs inevitably get passed on to consumers, hindering our efforts to lower prices. This regulation exemplifies a key reason for the inflation we're currently facing in America. My resolution aims to rescind this rule. While I won't comment on the originator's intelligence, I will say that we must eliminate this detrimental policy.

Starbucks paper cups have a plastic barrier that releases microplastic particles into your drink. These particles can penetrate cell membranes, causing inflammation and carrying toxic chemicals into your body. Microplastics have been found in human lung, blood, and placenta, raising concerns about their impact on babies.

I'm concerned about the scrutiny USAID is facing. It's an organization that promotes national security, human rights, and global health. But, some USAID projects are questionable uses of taxpayer money. For example, millions of dollars have gone to tourism in Egypt, a Democratic Party propaganda arm, transgender opera in Colombia, sex changes in Guatemala, bat research in Wuhan, and even a new Sesame Street show in Iraq. These expenditures raise serious questions about how taxpayer money is being spent. We need to take a closer look at these allocations.

As a Starbucks manager at an airport, I was asked if the protests against Starbucks have affected our stores. Normally, protests don't impact us much due to the large number of international travelers. However, even we are feeling the effects. Our customer numbers are significantly lower than usual, especially during this time of year. The protests are definitely working, as our store is not even making half of what we usually make before noon. This is a clear indication that the protests are having an impact on airport Starbucks locations.

How do programs like SNAP benefits impact food choices? Many SNAP benefits are spent on unhealthy foods. While I’m not familiar with how other countries manage similar programs, I know SNAP is a crucial USDA initiative. Many children in the U.S. rely on it because their families struggle to afford nutritious diets. There was significant debate about this issue previously, and I believe a key improvement would be for the U.S. government to leverage its purchasing power to buy healthier food options.

Paper cups should absorb water, but if they don't, it's due to a polyethylene plastic barrier. A study found that hot liquids in paper cups leach 25 microplastic particles in fifteen minutes, yet this is largely unexamined. The human body struggles to metabolize plastics, which break down into nanoplastics that can penetrate cell membranes, causing inflammation as the body recognizes them as foreign objects. Microplastics also release plasticizer chemicals and can carry toxic chemicals into the body.

I'm addressing concerns about the Postal Service operating like a private business while facing declining first-class mail volume. Despite this, employee numbers have increased, which seems counterintuitive in a declining business. The issue isn't about changing the laws governing the Postal Service but trying to fix the current situation. There is also concern about shifting costs rather than true reform, especially regarding healthcare and pension expenses. Insourcing jobs increase these costs compared to using contractors. While the reform package aimed to alleviate these expenses, the decision to hire more government employees exacerbates the problem. It would make more sense to hire contractors to avoid these government labor-associated costs.

Disposable coffee cups, especially those lined with plastic, pose significant health risks. When hot, acidic liquids like coffee are poured into these cups, they leach microplastics and heavy metals into the beverage. These contaminants have been found in various human tissues, including the lungs, placenta, blood, and heart, indicating widespread exposure. The body struggles to process or eliminate these substances, and the detoxification mechanisms remain unclear. Therefore, simply taking supplements may not help in removing them from the body.

I used to use a Brita water filter, but they are not effective. They only remove 12-14% of lead and arsenic, increase aluminum, and do not filter out fluoride, PFAs, or microplastics. Fluoride has been linked to lower IQ in kids. To improve water quality, use a reverse osmosis filter with sea salt for remineralization, despite being more expensive. Investing in your health is crucial, and drinking reverse osmosis water with sea salt is a healthier choice.

If you drink Starbucks, be aware that the paper cups have a plastic lining that can release microplastics into your drink. These microplastics can penetrate cells, cause inflammation, and carry toxic chemicals into your body. They have been found in human lungs, blood, and placenta, raising concerns about babies being born with plastic in their bodies.

"And the majority of the the materials that we use are polyester based because of their performance Performance features are one thing, environmental risk and biological risk is another thing. as a forever material, which means it never really goes away. It breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces that become what we now call microplastics or nanoplastics. Recent data is now telling us that we're ingesting micro nanoplastics up to a credit card a week. You're finding it now in our arteries, in our veins, in our brains. You could have up to a plastic spoon, one of those single use spoons of plastic in your brain. Some research out of Italy earlier last year came out and said you're much more prone to have a fatality from a heart attack or heart disease if you have plastic buildup that's leading to plaque buildup in your arteries."

A concerned parent in North Texas is upset after hearing Jesse Squatters say that Joe Biden used a straw. The parent, who used to identify as a straw user, threw away their straws after hearing this. They mention that Donald Trump supported the use of straws in the past and they have a stockpile of Trump straws. The parent criticizes those who believe everything the media says and claims to be an independent thinker. They express their frustration with the changing opinions and state that they now drink liquids from their cupped palm like an alpha dog. The parent concludes by saying that they hate both evolution and change and prefer to have consistent opinions that they have thought through themselves.

We had a productive discussion about USAID, an issue I've focused on for years in the Senate. USAID has consistently obstructed my congressional oversight efforts. I shared examples of waste within the organization during a recent conversation on X Spaces with Elon. It's crucial that we scrutinize every dollar spent there, and I'm pleased to see a shift in oversight to the State Department.

The American people are tired of their tax dollars being wasted. For the first time, this president is committed to restoring accountability at every level of the federal government. If you agree there is waste, abuse, and corruption, why are you not celebrating the cuts and reforms that are being instituted? We are saving Americans billions of dollars and ending the theft, waste, grift, and corruption. We are stopping American taxpayer dollars from subsidizing a rogue federal bureaucracy that has been relentlessly weaponized against the American people. We care about this issue. The American public overwhelmingly supports what President Trump is doing.

Starbucks-style paper cups have a polyethylene plastic barrier so they don't absorb water. A study found that hot liquids in the cups leach 25,000 microplastic particles in 15 minutes. These microplastics break down into nanoplastics, which can penetrate cell membranes, causing inflammation as the body recognizes them as foreign objects. The cups also release plasticizer chemicals and can carry toxic chemicals into the body. Microplastics have been detected in human lung, blood, and placenta. The speaker speculates that babies are likely being born with plastic in their bodies.

I support banning fracking, starting with actions on public lands. Legislation is necessary. I have experience working on this issue in California. The health and safety impact of fracking on communities is significant. Thank you. Translation: I am in favor of banning fracking and taking immediate action on public lands. Legislation is needed to address the harmful impact of fracking on communities. Thank you.

We're addressing the issue of paper straws. They're unpopular, the environmental benefits are unclear, and they've been costly for the government and private industry. Consumers are unhappy. We're asking federal departments and agencies to review their procurement processes, and our domestic policy counsel will conduct a holistic review. The problem affects everyday Americans. Paper straws are problematic; they break, disintegrate quickly with hot drinks, and are simply impractical. We're returning to plastic straws. While environmental concerns exist, we believe this is the most practical solution.

Texas should take action by banning Kellogg and similar companies from public institutions due to their sale of less safe cereal versions in the U.S. Kellogg offers a safer version without harmful additives in other countries but chooses to sell a more profitable, inferior product here. Over 450,000 signatures have been gathered for a petition urging Kellogg to provide safer options for American families. Despite this, Kellogg refuses to change, citing consumer preference for colorful products. California has already passed a bill banning certain artificial food dyes in public schools, and Texas should follow suit as a first step toward improving public health. There is a clear path to eliminate harmful ingredients from our food, and Texas can lead the way in this effort. Thank you.

Costco sold 37 million rotisserie chickens last year, now packaged in flexible plastic bags instead of dome containers. There is concern about hormone disruption from food in plastic, especially hot, oily foods. The speaker looked for the resin identification code (RIC) on the bag to identify the plastic type, but it was missing. The speaker contacted Costco to ask about the plastic type but has not yet received an answer. Press reports indicate others have had the same experience. While Costco claims the bags are BPA-free, the speaker notes that BPA is often replaced with equally harmful substances. The speaker believes the question should be, what is the replacement?

Starbucks paper cups have a plastic barrier that can release microplastic particles into your drink. These particles can penetrate cell membranes, causing inflammation and carrying toxic chemicals into your body. Our bodies struggle to metabolize plastics, and microplastics have been found in the lungs, blood, and placenta. This raises concerns about the potential impact on babies, as they could be born with plastic in their bodies.

Last night, I evacuated my home in LA due to wildfires, prompting me to reflect on a conversation between Joe Rogan and Donald Trump about wildfire management in California. Trump highlighted two issues: water management and forest maintenance. In 2023, California's policies led to the diversion of 195.5 billion gallons of water into the ocean to protect the Delta smelt, while forests remain overgrown with dead trees. A study found 91.4 million dead trees across California, which environmental policies have prevented from being cleared, contributing to devastating fires. Misguided environmental protections often harm both human lives and the very species they aim to protect. California's government struggles with ineffective policies, leading to increased homelessness and inadequate crisis response. While grateful for government support, it's clear improvements are necessary.

We're streamlining the federal bureaucracy, aiming to reduce the workforce. We found a surprising bottleneck: the retirement process. Currently, the maximum number of retirements per month is capped at 10,000 due to a completely manual, paper-based system. The paperwork is stored in a 1950s-era limestone mine, and the speed of the mine shaft elevator limits processing. This antiquated system employs thousands of people whose efforts could be far better utilized elsewhere. The situation is absurd; we need to modernize this process immediately. Imagine the increased efficiency and contribution to the country's goods and services if these employees were redeployed.

Texas should ban Kellogg and other companies that sell inferior and unsafe food products in public institutions like schools and the military. Earlier this year, I filed a shareholder activist letter against Kellogg for providing a less safe version of their cereals in the U.S. compared to other countries. We have gathered over 450,000 signatures for the largest food petition in U.S. history, urging Kellogg to offer safer products. Kellogg refused to meet with us, claiming American children prefer the more colorful, toxic versions. California has already passed a bill banning certain artificial food dyes in public schools, and Texas should follow suit. I believe Texas can lead the way in removing harmful ingredients from our food and reversing this trend of poor nutrition.
