A Trump administration request to the Supreme Court to deploy troops in Chicago contains factual errors, mischaracterizing the responsiveness of local police and the actions of protesters, our Visual Investigations team found. nyti.ms/43T7qfn
Times Analysis Finds Errors in Trump’s Supreme Court Filing That Calls for National Guard in Chicago

Massachusetts was one of the first states to abolish slavery, in the 1780s, and is also one of only two states where every county voted for Kamala Harris. The former Confederacy, however, is where Trump and the GOP now have their strongest support.

The U.S. healthcare system isn’t just broken—it’s making people sick.
The stress of insurance instability, surprise bills & medical debt is literally harming health.

What brought humanity out of the dark ages was the Renaissance-Enlightenment blooming of unfettered science, art and academia. The Trump Regime is trying to crush those very things for their own gain, to turn citizens into modern-day peasants. We must fight not to sink into another Dark Ages.
