Here are US military lawyers stating clearly that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's "kill everybody" orders are either (1) war crimes or (2) murder.

Either way, expect prosecutions in the future.

There were literally congressional hearings where whistleblowers in the insurance industry cried while discussing being forced by superiors to repeatedly illegally deny payment for lifesaving care in the run up to the passage of the ACA. That’s what republicans want us to return to.
Tom Emmer: "You're gonna have to create high risk pools again. Just go back where Minnesota was before the ACA."

Watch the language shift around Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” — the one that’s about to devastate working families if it passes.

Republicans say they’re “protecting” Medicaid — but what they’re really doing is gutting it under the cover of “cutting fraud and abuse.”

They’re trying to hoodwink us.

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

This reminds me of a rule that Austan Goolsbee (now Chicago Fed president, then an econ professor) once taught me. He called it the “pathological irony of crisis”: If you lose credibility, your statements begin to mean the opposite of what you say.
