Two preventable causes of death that we have chosen to do nothing about. Two preventable causes of death with evidence-based solutions that we have chosen to ignore.

Gun deaths among high schoolers on the rise, WSU study finds

JUST IN: President Trump has told top U.S. commanders that the military would be used against "enemy within."
