Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care.

That State Department isn't "changing its mind about what it calls human rights."

The United States is embracing its disgusting Gitmo and Abu Ghraib horrors to be a country that knowingly violates human rights. We are the bad guys.

The death toll from the recent tornado outbreak in the United States has reached at least 34 people.

54 people died in the entirety of 2024 as a direct result of tornadoes.
