NEW: Last night, a federal judge issued a permanent block on the Trump administration's deployment of National Guard troops to Oregon.
This is a win for the rule of law. No troops on our streets – anywhere.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.
It doesn't have to be this way.

Trump once called COVID vaccines “one of the greatest miracles in the history of modern-day medicine.”
Now, his health secretary RFK Jr. cancelled $500 million in promising vaccine research.
Trump was right. RFK Jr is wrong. Vaccines save lives.

Revlimid has its origin in a pill that cost patients $7.50 each. Decades later, the cancer drug costs more than $18,000 for a month’s supply — even though it still only costs about 25 cents to manufacture.

The Price of Remission: This Cancer Drug Saves Lives — but Costs a Fortune. I Wanted to Know Why.
When I was diagnosed with cancer, I set out to understand why a single pill of Revlimid cost the same as a new iPhone. I’ve covered high drug prices as a reporter for years. What I discovered shocked…

Lee Zeldin, Trump’s EPA chief, plans to revoke the 2009 “endangerment finding”, the EPA’s legal basis for regulating climate pollution. This isn’t rollback. It’s sabotage. Without it, the EPA can’t limit emissions from cars, power plants, or industry. Decades of progress gone.

While Trump played a round at his coastal golf course, thousands across Scotland took to the streets in protest. Bagpipes blared, signs waved, and the message was clear: he’s not welcome here. Love you, Scotland! 🏴 💚

The Big Beautiful Bill gives Meta a $15 billion check.
That’s more than our federal government spends on child care in an entire year.
If we invested that much in child care & early childhood education, we’d create stronger futures for everyone, not just Mark Zuckerberg.

This is a horrific abdication of their responsibilities to students, alums, faculty, staff, to themselves, their peers.
Columbia University has handed over its undergraduate admissions process to Donald Trump and his MAGA allies, who will now decide at their sole discretion whether the university has admitted enough white people. It's no longer an independent institution.

I’ve donated archival material for Nuyorican artist Jorge Soto Sanchez (1947-1987) to the Archives of American Art. It will help people to learn about him.
