We eradicated measles in 2000. Decades of vaccine misinformation, spearheaded by people like HHS Secretary RFK JR, led us here. He must resign.

U.S. measles cases in 2026 have more than doubled compared to last year.

That $366 million Elon is spending to try and convince voters that Congress should stay Republican? It's more money than McCain's 2008 campaign spent. But it's also, relative to Musk's net worth, the same as a household at the median income spending $32.

Zelenskyy: "Prices are rising because of the war in the Middle East, the blocking of Hormuz. Everyone understands it. If we want to speak with people fairly, if we want to be clear, if we want to speak with our nations openly, people have to hear reality. Don't play games with people."

CEO compensation has increased 1,316% since 1978. And worker compensation? Just 28%. The system is rigged. We need to start taxing the rich so they pay their fair share.

Trump's Iran War has spiked food prices by raising the cost of fertilizer and fuel. His cuts to FDA and HHS have made foodborne illness outbreaks harder to contain. And his SNAP cuts have made it even harder for millions to feed themselves. He's making America hungry again.

President Trump opposes deal that would open the Strait of Hormuz immediately. Holding out for diesel at $10 a gallon.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "I'm rejecting their deal. They want to make a deal where they open the strait immediately ... we're winning tremendously. We have total control of the Hormuz Strait ... that deal would not be acceptable. They want to immediately open the Hormuz Strait."

He cut a trillion dollars from of America’s healthcare system, but you won’t feel the full pain until January 1st. Why? Because — by design — he wants your midterm vote — and thinks you’re stupid enough to vote red November 3rd without knowing you won’t feel the pain until Jan 1.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020. — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

Talarico on Republican name-calling: “These nicknames don’t lower the cost of groceries, gas, healthcare, or childcare. I think Texans are really fed up with this professional wrestling of politics.”

The federal minimum wage has been stuck at a paltry $7.25 an hour since 2009. Guess how much the wage would be today if it kept up with worker productivity over the years?

A Philadelphia nun named Sister Rose Kuhn drives to a Texas immigration court weekly to sit next to unaccompanied children as young as 4 who are facing deportation hearings alone without relatives or an attorney so that they won’t have to face the judge by themselves. Heartbreaking and horrific.
