Dr. Oz is a charlatan, peddling homeopathic unproven remedies on TV for his own benefit. What a joke. In the hands of Dr. Oz & RFK Jr, our public health is doomed. #MedSky Please continue to fight this nonsense in any way possible. Protest, boycott, contact reps. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

It looks like Steve Bannon just did a Nazi salute at the end of his CPAC speech.

In a clear case of karma, the very Red State of Utah may face a huge economic impact due to termination of 100 IRS employees so far— and a projected 1000 by May. Never mind all the other agencies. Guess what? Republican Lawmakers are silent. Silence is consent? Feeling betrayed yet?

U.S. tariffs could cause the prices of steel and aluminum cans to rise, an increase that may ultimately be passed on to consumers.
