Trump and Elon are pushing out the people who pick up the phones at the Veterans Crisis Line—and making it near impossible for veterans to get help from a real person in their darkest moments. It’s callous and cruel.

Oh good! While Trump & Elon cut lifesaving research, they’re going to put our very limited federal resources towards studying the conspiracy theory that vaccines cause autism.

These people are doing less CANCER RESEARCH to waste your taxpayer dollars on total bunk.

A president with a criminal record, aided by an unqualified defense secretary, accelerates the collapse of institutional integrity. When authoritarian instincts meet institutional power, democratic erosion becomes governance itself.

Gang leaders now avoid tattoos, and new recruits are strictly forbidden from getting inked. When repression supplants education, and public welfare is sidelined, authoritarian tactics evolve—but root causes remain untouched.

Absolutely no one is asking for three out-of-touch billionaires to rip apart the Department of Education over some deranged far-right culture war.

Trump knows he can't abolish Ed without Congress—but by firing all the staff and smashing it to pieces, he's hoping for the same, devastating result.

The new administrator of the E.P.A. is likely to reverse the long-standing federal position that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases endanger the public—a “truly and deeply disgraceful” form of basic science denial, Bill McKibben writes.

Trudeau to Zelenskyy: ‘Your Fight Is Our Fight’

As Trump abandons Ukraine, Zelenskyy affirms Canada’s support: “We will never forget what Canada has done for Ukraine.” With Trump’s pro-Russia stance leaving allies scrambling, Canada is stepping up. Will other leaders follow Trudeau’s lead?

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns.

100% of his salary is paid by WA state.

Elon fired him. Share his story.
