Every news channel has been saying all day the Tate brothers' history is one of misogyny, their return is shady, and the effect on victims traumatic.

AND YET... all of them are standing by to livecast any remark the Tates care to make after landing, live and in full.

You are part of the problem.

Elon Musk and his 19-year-olds have now disrupted the approval of medical devices that save lives.

Every member of Congress bears a responsibility to stop this right now.

Attention working-class Americans:

Republicans’ new budget does NOT include no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, or no tax on Social Security.

Instead it protects tax handouts for billionaires and makes way for the largest Medicaid cut in history.

You're probably reeling, like me, from Trump's onslaught on Ukraine & from the horrifying spectacle of two superpowers trying to carve up a sovereign country.

Please, I beg you, use your voice. Write to your MP. Express your views on social media. Share this piece. Act.

Thank you.

We need facts as never before.

3 years after Putin invaded Ukraine, I spent 24 hours with combat medics on the Ukrainian frontline.

Their courage, compassion, dedication & skill are astounding.

Please read & please never stop standing up for Ukraine. 🇺🇦
