Do you know what classical music is?
The term is applied to radically different compositions across more than 1,000 years of history, Matthew Aucoin writes. We need a better definition.

Dr. Oz, nominated by Trump to head up Medicare and Medicaid, is all in on the plan to take nurses out of nursing homes.
WYDEN: Do you believe in a nursing home there should be a registered nurse available around the clock?
DR OZ: As you know, that's a complicated question
WYDEN: No it's not. We need a nurse in a nursing home. Not too complicated.

Trump's pro-Putin & anti-American policy raises once again the questions:
What does Putin have on Trump? A sex tape would hardly suffice. Are the multiple claims that Trump was recruited by the KGB in Moscow in 1987 correct (Craig Unger & Kazakh KGB)?
Or is Trump simply paid?

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.
You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.
