Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care.
They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.

That State Department isn't "changing its mind about what it calls human rights."
The United States is embracing its disgusting Gitmo and Abu Ghraib horrors to be a country that knowingly violates human rights. We are the bad guys.

The death toll from the recent tornado outbreak in the United States has reached at least 34 people.
54 people died in the entirety of 2024 as a direct result of tornadoes.
Perhaps slashing workers at NOAA and the NWS wasn't a good idea.
