Mockler: As much as the Trump admin tries to act like it's different from prior Republican administrations, they're doing the same thing. They cut taxes for the richest, they cut benefits for the poorest, and then they go to war for either regime change or for oil.

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

Despite what you hear from fossil fuel-funded politicians, the U.K has just generated a record amount of clean, domestic wind energy.

Enough to power 23 million homes!

U.K decarbonisation policy is a recipe for energy security.

Under this new proposal, if you're a European who wants to visit New York City for a vacation, you now have to turn over a TON of information to the United States government, which they will keep forever.

“I Factchecked Trump’s Big Politico Interview – Because Politico Didn’t!”

15 lies listed and debunked. Read my critique of the Trump interview:
I Factchecked Trump’s Big Politico Interview – Because Politico Didn’t!
Interviewer Dasha Burns allowed the president to tell lie after lie, and also failed to push back on his racism. So here is a rebuttal from Zeteo.

Ossoff: "This is so much deeper than the politics. What does it say about the moral condition of this Congress that the thing that has them all tied up in knots is a very simple question: Should people's health insurance premiums go up double or triple? This is a policy choice."

Trump says Lisa Cook is unfit to be a Fed governor because she claimed two different properties as her primary residence on her mortgage applications. (Cook denies this.)

Trump did the exact same thing on mortgage applications submitted a mere 7 weeks apart.

The hard truth is that right now, our Secretary of Health is one of our nation’s biggest health threats and largest sources of health disinformation.

Realistically, we need RFK Jr. to be FIRED. At a minimum, he needs to answer to Congress for his attacks on public health.
Under RFK Jr., the CDC provides a megaphone to the anti-vaccine movement
Common anti-vaccine talking points were on display as the CDC’s immunization advisers repealed a hepatitis B birth vaccine recommendation and scrutinized the childhood schedule.
