US health insurers are raising insurance premiums by the most in 15 years.
Recall that Trump recently threatened 250% tariffs on pharmaceuticals. GOP lawmakers also chose not to extend the expanded premium tax credits that expire at the end of this year

In the early 1900s, female strongwomen and bodybuilders challenged societal norms by showcasing their strength and muscular physiques in circuses.This was a direct contrast to the popular notion that women should be delicate and frail, and that exercise would detract from their domestic duties.It took a long time for society to accept and celebrate female strength, but these pioneers paved the way for future generations.View all 1,014 comments

NPR and PBS Are More Than “Tiny Desk” and “Daniel Tiger” They Are Critical to Public Safety
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, today released a Snapshot Report that highlights data on public broadcasters across the United States and broadcasters' role in responding to emergencies and public safety events. In rural areas, public broadcasters may be the sole source of information during emergencies, leaving them disproportionately impacted by federal funding cuts.
