Cancer is the second-leading cause of death in the United States.
But that isn’t stopping RFK from slashing cancer research at the NIH.

A more accurate name for trump's " #BigBeautifuBill " would be the Screw Poor People and Make the Rich Richer Act.
It includes deeper cuts to food stamps and Medicaid, the government programme providing health care to low-income people, who risk dying without it.

Don’t be fooled. Trump’s ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ is typically ugly and typically misnamed | Arwa Mahdawi
Republicans love to make the most harmful laws sound sensible or even noble. This pretty-sounding package of tax breaks and spending cuts is just the latest example, writes Arwa Mahdawi

Russia is conducting attacks in conjunction with U.S. pressure on Ukraine. It’s a coordinated effort.
Trump’s accommodation drives Russia’s attacks on Ukrainian cities to compel Ukraine to capitulate. Trump may not realize… doesn’t care, but his embrace of Putin/Russia is fueling Russian attacks.

A horrific attack. Shows how little interest Putin has in peace. Also makes me wonder if this is a fluke or whether Ukraine might be running low on air defense ammunition for systems such as the US-made Patriot. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

Trump sees the world much like Putin. The strong must pray on the weak. The strong are entitled to coerce small states to squeeze deals.
Again the Russian describe these features of Trump in state-run media and official channels.

You are taxing the American people with your tariffs after EVERYONE said it was a terrible idea and now you want corporations to absorb the cost? That makes you a commie!
