1 in 3 children with cancer are on Medicaid.

Hi, I’m God. Healthcare is a human right. Love, God

At a time when people are understandably focused on the daily chaos in Washington, these articles describe the rapidly accelerating impact that AI is going to have on jobs, the economy, and how we live.

Joni Ernst is a Veteran. She knows 1 in 10 Veterans rely on Medicaid. And yet she sat at a town hall and defended cutting it. So what does that mean—that those Veterans don’t deserve care? That it’s fine if they die quietly? Because that’s the message she sent.

Boondoggle 101.

Donald Trump is dismantling higher education under the pretext of fighting antisemitism while continuing to stock his administration with antisemites. The hypocrisy is boundless. And it only makes Jews less safe.

CBS owner Shari Redstone is a coward who just wants to retire, but the people acquiring CBS (led by a guy fired from Comcast for sexual harassment) are even worse...just the biggest Trump bootlickers imaginable who will turn CBS into another fox news type propaganda mill

Local regulators should immediately stop Elon Musk’s supercomputer from operating in South Memphis, the NAACP writes in a letter to Shelby County officials.

According to Politico, the Trump regime is brainstorming new ways to do harm to Harvard, including possibly cutting funds to medical institutions affiliated with the university. Fascists don’t care if innocent people die. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

You can’t have a functioning democracy with a government that constantly lies to the public. If we want to keep our freedom, we must defeat the Trumpers.
