^^^ Cartoonist Jen Sorensen is on to something.
Perhaps we should sponsor Europhilic events like yodeling contests and brioche bake-offs but decorate the venues with posters and graphics displaying the climate-friendly and worker-friendly policies of those countries.

Yes there is a double standard in the news media AND among members of the public.
Democrats are held to a higher standard. Democrats are always expected to act like grown-ups while Republicans are allowed to wreck institutions of democracy while getting only a perfunctory tsk tsk.
If Biden gave a bizarre and semi-coherent speech like this the media and users on social media would go into convulsions of disparagement. But because it came from Trump, the general feeling is that "it's just Donald being Donald"...
...and that doesn't even touch on fact checking.
The House drama is another case in point. One candidate for Speaker, Gym Jordan, turned a blind eye to sex abuse as an assistant coach; and the leader of the anti-McCarthy coup, Matt Gaetz, has an appetite for girls under 18. Republicans are like the villains in their own QAnon conspiracy folklore.
Jen Sorensen, an American national treasure, touched on this double standard in a cartoon.
With the emergence of every new revelation of GOP idiocy, incompetence, or downright treason, publicly ask what the reaction would be if a living Democrat had done the same.
Don't let membership in the GOP excuse people for being anti-democratic dickheads.

Cartoon by Jen Sorensen.
This Guardian article lists various foods that tend to be high in toxic PFAS, commonly known as "forever chemicals," which are used to make products stain- and water-resistant. To quote from the report, "Among the main sources of food contamination are tainted water, greaseproof food wrappers, some plastics, pesticides, or farms where PFAS-tainted sewage sludge is spread as fertilizer." As for microplastics, where to begin? They're everywhere, from human placentas to the oceans to Mount Everest.
