The total number of measles cases has surged to over 600 in South Carolina.

Last April, our reporting found that national rates for four major vaccines fell significantly in recent years. In fact, measles vaccination rates were below herd immunity in most states in 2023: https://propub.li/4a61hjh

Jones: All you do is keep people fearful because you get paid 45 million a year to keep people fearful so they don’t pay attention to the CEOS taking their healthcare. You don’t care about the American people. You want them to be afraid of immigrants because all you have is fear.

For far too long, the federal government has operated immigration flights without full transparency. These ghost flights are tearing families apart, leaving loved ones in the dark, and giving immigration agencies free rein to act without oversight, transparency, and justice.

It is important to acknowledge who is standing up and who is just trying to get by. Every day Americans are standing up while the powerful are mostly standing by.

Why aren't law firms standing up and sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Why aren't the corporations speaking out? Why isn't the media?

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

Over 20 years, Peter Thiel quietly turned his Roth IRA into a gargantuan tax-exempt piggy bank.

Using stock deals unavailable to most people, the billionaire took a retirement account worth less than $2,000 in 1999 and spun it into a $5 billion windfall.

I'm suing Robert Kramer, the former CEO of health care contractor Emergent BioSolutions, for insider trading.

Kramer illegally profited millions by selling his company shares knowing their AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine had contamination issues.

Now we're holding him accountable.

Many of the January 6 insurrectionists want to cry “woe is me,” but they were literally convicted of crimes — and some are even considered white supremacists. I’m confused as to why we’re still debating conspiracy theories versus facts.
