The National Institutes of Health has abruptly canceled millions of dollars in grants for research without a valid explanation, stifling scientific progress and putting lives at risk.
We're taking the Trump administration to court this week because funding science shouldn't be political.

What this article doesn’t make clear is that Beachwood (a Cleveland suburb) has been a Jewish enclave since WWII. The population is about 90% Jewish. It’s the home of the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage, which is half a mile from this branch. This was not a random act.

And as soon as Democrats stopped flying to the gulag and everyone stopped talking about it, Trump’s immigration numbers started climbing back up
so the members of congress just stopped going to el salvador and not a single person who was illegally sent there has been returned and that’s just how it is now?

The GOP "Big Beautiful" budget achieved its goal: tax breaks for billionaires like Elon Musk. How did they afford it? By slashing benefits, gutting social programs, and raising taxes on the working class. Call (202) 224-3121 to tell your Rep this bill is bullshit.

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

PROTIP: The reason that we pay more for drugs than any other country is because we are the ONLY country that has a for profit healthcare system instead of universal healthcare where the governments negotiate the pricing.
