Corporate America has been raising prices well before tariffs were even a factor.

Some of these companies are using tariffs as a convenient excuse to hike prices even more…when they were probably planning to do it anyway. Think about this next time Walmart blames tariffs for price hikes.

It's insane that two Republican Governors have done more to promote harm reduction in healthcare than Democrats have in over a decade. Virginia and Arkansas have both signed bills to force out CVS and other pharmacies that have their own PBM. This is huge.

But where are the Democrats?

RFK claims autism destroys families.

He can screw off. My child is perfect as she is, and she loves who she is. You don’t speak for me. You speak only for yourself and those who hate that their children are different.

I said what I said.

For years, Rowan County failed to investigate claims of abuse by this coach. Now, they are blaming the parents for neglect -- implying the student wouldn't have been sexually assaulted if they didn't leave their 17-year-old at home alone.

This is a disgusting move by their legal team.
Home alone? School district points to teen's parents in coach sexual abuse case
A motion filed in Rowan Circuit Court linked to the Andrew Zaheri case seeks to file a third-party complaint against a former student's parents.

Scientific research doesn’t work with guarantees. We’ve searched for causes of many diseases for decades and still often come up with nothing definitive. Promising to 'prove' a cause by a certain date isn’t research, it’s rigging the outcome.
RFK Jr. says HHS will determine the cause of autism by September
Trump suggested that vaccines could be to blame for autism rates, although decades of research have concluded there is no link between the two.

The U.S. government has declared love a national security threat, but only if it's the 'wrong' nationality. The 1950s called. They want their Red Scare back.

They keep saying Trump can’t run for a third term. But let’s be real—why can’t he?

The courts haven’t stopped him. The Constitution didn’t foresee this. Congress is paralyzed. The GOP base would cheer it on.

So far, the rules haven’t applied to him. Why start now?

The Signal leak is a big deal, yes. But it distracts from the real issue: That the U.S. is illegally bombing Yemen—just like Syria and Libya. No debate, no vote, no media attention. Just endless war.

When will we stop letting Washington act as judge, jury, and executioner of the entire planet?

I spent hours on an assignment for my Master's. Supposed to analyze a piece of digital media related to a health issue. Received feedback via email asking me to choose a different piece of media that didn't contain foul language...

Nothing in the assignment listed restrictions about profanity.

Looking for private school recommendations in the Lexington area. For her safety, I cannot keep sending her to Jessamine County Schools, where the adults there threaten to call the SRO any time a child acts like a child. My child comes home thinking she's being taken from us at least once a week.

Trump is defying court orders to release federal funding. So happy that the only branch that can enforce this is the one Trump is in charge of.

Unpopular opinion: Academic citations should be standardized. And they should all use AMA.

Just numbering the source in superscript and then putting the number at the end is so much better than any other option.

I just want to see themed sibling names die. We don't need Brayden, Kaiden, and Jayden in one household. And we definitely don't need siblings named Sunny, Storm, and Sky.
These baby names are at risk of going extinct in 2025
BabyCenter's new report shows a large decline in certain names. The list includes royal names, along with ‘80s and ‘90s names.

Yes, deportations are bad. But so is having an entire agricultural system that depends on ridiculously underpaid labor from people who have no other choice.

The only people I hear blaming his behavior on autism are the "autism moms." No actually autistic person is saying this, nor would they find his behavior acceptable.
