Can't sleep? Don't count sheep — use this guided meditation for healthful snoozing
Because some 50 million Americans have trouble falling or staying asleep, the internet is jammed with "guided meditations," essentially canned lullabies for adults.

Trump is welcoming MBS, the Saudi crown prince, to the White House. This is the dictator who had a U.S. columnist murdered for criticizing the Saudi royal family.

Sadly, we have a president who prefers the Saudi model — an autocracy run by a trillionaire family — to democracy.

President Trump's ongoing attempts to use the military for law enforcement endangers public safety and our rights.

Tell your Senator to co-sponsor a bill that will limit domestic military deployments and enhance oversight.
Congress: U.S. Troops are Not the President's Personal Police Force
Military troops do not belong on our streets and should never be used to police civilians. The Senate must protect our freedoms and pass the Military in Law Enforcement Accountability Act now.

Trump claims he is "a dealmaker." Well, Mr. President: Let’s make a deal today.

Stop the doubling of health care premiums for 20 million Americans. Stop 15 million from losing their health care. Immediately reopen the government.

What are you waiting for?

"Raw sewage"? "Brown liquid"? What's wrong with the media? The president of the United States sent out an AI video of himself in a crown, flying a fighter jet and dumping shit over Americans protesting his imperial aspirations. Why soft-pedal it? If Trump can be this candid, so can we.
