This is one of the better things Smith has written. There's a rider in the farm bill that would prohibit states from making laws on the treatment of livestock like pigs, cows, and so on. People concerned about animal welfare should be alarmed.

TottsOn 14th April 2026, the headquarters of the European Commission in Brussels was transformed into a canvas for animal protection publicity stunt, as campaigners from the animal welfare organisation Animal Equality projected messages onto the Berlaymont building highlighting what they describe as institutional complicity in farmed animal exploitation.
The nighttime action illuminated the façade with the words “Factory Farming Headquarters”, alongside images of Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Health and Animal Welfare Commissioner Olivér Várhelyi, and Agriculture Commissioner Christophe Hansen. Messages calling to “Ban cages” and “End the killing of male chicks” were also displayed, drawing attention to long-standing demands from animal protection advocates across Europe.

The podcast defines three tiers of moral consideration:
1. Moral Status: Recognizing a being’s welfare for its own sake.
2. Equal Consideration: Granting equal moral weight to comparable interests, such as the avoidance of pain.
3. Utility-Trumping Rights: Protecting vital interests, like life or liberty, regardless of societal benefit
