Please ignore tired pieces in publications like the Atlantic that are still trying to stigmatize mask wearing. Wearing a mask to prevent sickness from airborne viruses is a science-informed position, and it has been that way for over 100 years.

This is outrageous. Districts across signed contracts to improve school buildings for our kids, and a commitment that the federal government would reimburse them. Now, Trump is hanging Michigan schools out to dry. Disgusting.

More Michiganders need help feeding their families, thanks to Trump's erratic and irresponsible handling of the economy. Now he's gutting food aid for those same families. That doesn't make America "great" or "healthy."

Do you know how bad you have to be at diplomacy to get China, South Korea, and Japan to work together? This is like Kendrick, Drake, and Kanye doing a collab on an album.

They are going to break Social Security under the guise of fighting fraud and waste so that public trust collapse while 68 million people grow increasingly desperate such that they can privatize it in the name of efficiency and anti-corruption. It will be the biggest mugging of the century.

The first rule of Trumpism is to never apologize or admit wrongdoing. That’s why he’s not firing anyone or even entertaining the idea anybody around him did something wrong.

Not a historian, but to my knowledge, this is the first time a sitting US Senator — or member of Congress, generally — or perhaps any senior US gov’t official — has included an f-bomb in an official press release. www.duckworth.senate.gov/news/press-r...

Yes, seniors: you're going to lose your social security because Elon Musk cooked his brain on his own social media platform and convinced himself with zero evidence that Democrats were steering hundreds of billions of dollars of social security money to unodcumented people in order to buy votes

Remember when people used to say the warnings about Trump were alarmist? He’s now explicitly saying US citizens who damage private property that’s linked to one of his oligarch cronies will be sent to prisons in El Salvador.
