Don't lose your child to measles, please get them vaccinated. There is ABSOLUTELY NO SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE against the vaccine.

In many places where Donald Trump is hugely popular, residents are increasingly reliant on state income transfers. The issue could fracture the Republican party. www.ft.com/content/45eb...

Are Senate Armed Services Committee members Reed, Shaheen, Gillibrand, Blumenthal et al going to hold hearings about the Trump officials' group chat? There's no official way to get their offices on the record.

I remember reporting on Citizens United when it was decided by the Supreme Court in 2010. Even then, 15 years ago, I said it could completely end what democracy we had. So, Bernie's not wrong.

With Medicaid cuts certain, it’s a good time to remind folks (including Nazis worried about birth rates) that Medicaid covers 40% of all births in the US.

That means that women on Medicaid contribute to nearly half the nation’s birth rate.
