In 1900, nearly 1 in 5 children in America died before age five. Vaccines changed that.

But Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s lies are fueling a public health catastrophe.

People will get sick. People will die. Science saves lives—misinformation kills.

Powell: "GDP growth has slowed notably in the first half of this year, to a pace of 1.2%, roughly half the 2.5% pace in 2024. The declining growth has largely reflected a slowdown in consumer spending ... higher tariffs have begun to push up prices in some categories of goods."

I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administration’s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.
Actually, Slavery Was Very Bad
The president’s latest criticism of museums is a thinly veiled attempt to erase Black history.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court BLOCKS implementation of Trump administration’s dangerous new rule that would strip health coverage from more than 2.2 million people, raise costs for working families, and undermine the Affordable Care Act’s core protections. A huge win for @democracyforward.org.

A government ban on Hungary’s Pride parade backfired Saturday as over 100,000 people marched through Budapest, far more than usual

PM Viktor Orban warned people to stay away, threatening “clear legal consequences.” But the warnings only turned a modest event into a mass rally against his government

A reminder that it was never about following the law and being documented-it was always about banning nonwhite immigration.

Musk is who should be deported while Zohran Mamdani came to the United States using the proper channels yet they are trying to take his citizenship and deport him.

Listen to the doctors: When patients go uninsured, they delay care & it increases costs for everyone! Instead of paying $10 for diabetic medication, we’ll pay $10,000 for an amputation.

The Big Ugly Bill would be devastating to American healthcare.

Undocumented immigrants contribute nearly $100 billion in taxes every year.

Meanwhile, the wealthiest 1% dodge $163 billion in taxes annually.

The real drain on America isn’t coming from the border — it’s coming from the boardroom.

I am sounding the alarm as loudly as I can that Donald Trump has turned the Department of Justice into a cog in his authoritarian machine to prosecute his political opponents.
