Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 6 weeks(!) in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave—is now getting all three.

Trump: Gutting National Parks—And Hiding the Evidence National parks hit 331M visits, but Trump officials don’t want you to know. A leaked memo bans the Park Service from promoting the numbers—while firing rangers, closing visitor centers, and cutting safety. This won’t go well—we love our parks.

The UN voted to adopt Ukraine’s resolution condemning Russian aggression and demanding the immediate withdrawal of Putin’s forces. How did the US vote? Inexplicably, the US voted NO alongside Russia, North Korea and Belarus. What would Ronald Reagan think of this? I think I know.
