endpoints.news/gilead-gets-... "Gilead said Yeztugo’s annual list price is $28,218 in the US, which is “in line with existing branded” HIV prevention options." wow I mean, I love the idea of getting rid of HIV but ... will HIV still spread where people can't afford this?

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

The individual maximum a person can donate to a NYC mayoral candidate is $2100. Mike Bloomberg just donated $8.3 million to Andrew Cuomo through a super PAC. This is what a rigged campaign finance system, designed to let the wealthy buy elections, looks like.

Terrifying. Why are these people so infatuated with what others are doing? Eyes on the prize, work on yourself. If what someone else does bothers you, reevaluate your life and your moral compass.

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone. If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?
