Hey everyone,

Welcome to State of the Day,

Washington’s newest arrivals are already making the old guard sweat

TIBO Cutting Board: Keep Microplastics & Bacteria Out Of Your Kitchen

If you’ve ever noticed deep knife grooves in your plastic cutting board, you’re not alone. Those grooves are a sign that your board is breaking down – and those tiny plastic particles have to go somewhere. In fact, plastic cutting boards can shed up to 50.7 grams of microplastics per person every year… right into your family’s food.

That’s why so many home cooks are switching to TIBO. This dual-sided cutting board uses FDA-compliant, medical-grade titanium – the same material standard used in surgical instruments – to give you a surface that doesn’t shed, crack, or break down the way plastic does.

TIBO does more than just replace your old board. Its 4-in-1 design works with your kitchen to:

  • Keep microplastics out of your meals with a solid titanium surface that doesn’t shed.

  • Leave nowhere for bacteria to hide, thanks to a non-porous surface that onions, garlic, and raw meat wipe right off of.

  • Separate raw meat from produce with a titanium side and a BPA-free wheat straw side.

  • Protect your knives, since titanium is softer than knife steel and gentle on your blade edge.

  • Sharpen and grate in seconds with a built-in ceramic sharpener and garlic grater.

You don’t need a drawer full of boards, sharpeners, or graters. Just flip, chop, and let TIBO do the work!

Washington’s New Kids Have Some Nerve

As the newly elected class of freshmen lawmakers descend upon the Capitol, we’re getting a sneak peek of what next year’s Congress will look like — and there are a few things Republicans can learn from the starry-eyed Democrats.

Before even being sworn in, some Democrats are already calling for a leadership overhaul in their caucuses. The new generation of lawmakers is making it clear they won’t stand for the establishment status quo that’s controlled the glorified senior care facility we call the U.S. Senate.

Across the aisle, Senate Republicans refused to shake up any leadership posts despite their massive midterm losses. John Thune kept his sticky fingers on his role as leader — big surprise.

However, a few seemingly sentient senators did try to delay leadership elections, but they forgot the establishment reigns supreme in the upper chamber.

At its core, the Senate is the epicenter of our nation’s uniparty.
