Doctors call it the Physiology of Poverty:
The stress of trying to survive every day breaks the mind and the body.
That's why working class people in America live SEVEN years shorter than the very wealthy.

This is beyond reckless. With measles cases spreading across TX and the U.S., we need scientists at the table, not folks pushing conspiracy theories. RFK Jr. is playing games with people’s lives.

Courts willing to follow the Constitution and the law are the only things standing between us and Stephen Miller’s dystopia right now. And he isn’t happy about it.

When I was 17, I opened my first checking account w/a couple hundred bucks. I didn’t meet the min monthly deposit, so they kept charging fees until I owed them money. It stuck with me—I still won’t bank w/BofA.
There’s no upside to this move for anyone who isn’t rich—just cruelty for cruelty’s sake

Trump's two perfect months: Plane crashes, brought in Musk and DOGE, fired employees, crippling USAID, CDC, NIH, VA, and more. The US withdrew from the WHO and the Paris Accord. Killed thousands of children by withholding AIDS medicine. Nominated idiots to direct agencies, cratered the market, more.

Commissioner Slaughter and I just sued to clarify that we're still FTC commissioners. But this is bigger than us. This is about economic stability. If the President can break a 90-year-old Supreme Court ruling to fire us for no reason, he can do it to the Fed, the FDIC and SEC.

Actually I think the first rule is to lie. Every chance you get.
The first rule of Trumpism is to never apologize or admit wrongdoing. That’s why he’s not firing anyone or even entertaining the idea anybody around him did something wrong.
