A pregnant mother in Tennessee was denied care for being unmarried.
This is legal under Tennessee's Medical Ethics Defense Act.

I can think of 2 times when leading U.S. officials fled Washington in a panic:
August 1814:
British forces briefly capture the capital and set fire to government buildings.
July 2025:
Republicans fear they'll have to vote on the Epstein files, so they adjourn early and run for the hills.

When, not if, our society decides to finally enforce laws and hold the American Fascist Party responsible for its actions, I hope there is no more delays and waffling. These people belong in prison. There are too many double standards when it comes to celebrities and politicians.

Farmers are losing their field workers, just as foreign customers are retaliatory-tariffing US crops. So: ultimate question: When your small family farm fails how little (pennies on the dollar?) will big ag have to pay to acquire your land - and is that the whole point of the exercise?

On June 14th, we show up. Coalition members will be present at all 1,800 events nationwide, over 90,000 strong, helping monitor local conditions. Many veterans have stepped forward to support protesters, stand in solidarity, and defend our right to be heard. We thank them.

(CNBC) Once again, RFK, Jr. is fulfilling our expectations for him. He has retired (actually fired) all 17 members of his CDC advisory panel for vaccines. He will replace them with people of his choice. Anyone worried about what he'll do? I am.

RFK Jr. removes all members of CDC panel advising U.S. on vaccines
It's the latest move by Kennedy – a prominent vaccine skeptic – to change and potentially undermine vaccinations in the U.S. since he took the helm at HHS.
