What’s so sad is there have been largely-ignored warnings about these circumstances for years: how rents were unaffordable to anyone, anywhere on minimum wage; how a $300 car repair could send working people into homelessness; how food banks were more & more overwhelmed…the list is long.

Um, what's a better time to talk about the Holocaust, lady?
BLITZER: During WW2, Nazi officers were following the chain of command, obeying illegal orders & slaughtered Jews during the Holocaust
McCLAIN: We're a long way from Nuremberg trials & the slaughtering of Jews. If you want to talk about the slaughtering the Jews we can have that convo another time

Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.

Devastating essay about living with a terminal cancer diagnosis at 35, made more devastating by the author's relation to the health and human services secretary who's spent the past year cutting cancer research.
A Battle with My Blood
When I was diagnosed with leukemia, my first thought was that this couldn’t be happening to me, to my family.

This is achingly beautiful and almost too painful to read in places (but you still should). The cruelty of cancer, the longing to be with your children — and the twist of fate, being RFK Jr’s cousin as he unwinds U.S. health research.

Next time a Republican whines when they get called a fascist, just remind them that Trump says he doesn't mind the label!
Q: Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?

TRUMP: That's okay. You can just say yes. I don't mind.
