You can ignore climate change. But it doesn’t ignore you. These insurance spikes were not only foreseeable, but foreseen. States didn’t act, and now the cost is being borne by the most vulnerable. It will get much worse. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

i think people are missing the forest for the trees with this one. RFK Jr wants complete centralized knowledge of every American's health in order to exact control on what medications are allowed and in order to fabricate "evidence" for each and all of his nonsense theories.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

It’s quite clear at this point that Trump is intentionally trying to harm America’s economy and our global standing. The damage is so broad and so deep that it simply can’t be accidental or inadvertent — it MUST be deliberate. The only question is: WHY?

At least 60k NHS staff are still experiencing PTSD on some level - and I'd wager it's much higher. This is a direct result of working during the pandemic. The NHS has a clear duty of care to heal people from what was inflicted, but instead all support has been withdrawn. How is this remotely okay?

Donald Trump broke the United States T-Bill as a safe haven. This is not “ very weird.” It’s the logical end point of destroying the entire world’s trust in America in less than 100 days. This won’t magically go away either. The bond market has turned on Trump, and America.

The math here is simple. Republicans have passed a budget framework where very large cuts to Medicaid will have to occur. Now, they are preemptively shifting the blame for those cuts to Governors, who cannot engage in deficit spending. All of this is for a regressive tax cut.
