Trump and Republicans in Congress seem to love socialism for the rich -- corporate welfare, subsidies, and tax breaks galore. Yet they demand harsh capitalism for the rest of America.

Corporations and ultra-rich individuals with numerous business interests cannot be trusted to prioritize the public’s right to know over their own bottom lines.
When billionaire conglomerates take control of media, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.

If Paramount is allowed to take over Warner Bros. Discovery, the conservative billionaire Ellison family will control:
Paramount Studios
CBS

MTV
HBO
Comedy Central
Nickelodeon
Cartoon Network
Warner Bros.
DC Studios
Fandango
New Line Cinema
TNT Sports
TBS
Oracle
And more.

The "common good" is a set of shared values about what we owe one another as citizens who are bound together in the same society. A concern for the common good—keeping the common good in mind—is a moral attitude. It recognizes that we’re all in it together.

Donald Trump’s mass firing of CDC doctors and scientists is a direct attack on Americans’ health and safety.
By turning the CDC into a political weapon, he’s putting ideology over science and risking lives in the process.

Important read about the rationale behind cutting off funding for GAVI, which is estimated to have saved nearly 19 million lives since 2000. www.npr.org/sections/goa...
RFK Jr. singled out one study to cut funds for global vaccines. Is that study valid?
When RFK Jr. announced he would cut funds from Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, he cited "vaccine safety," referring to a 2017 study from Guinea-Bissau. We asked vaccine researchers to assess the study.
