WTAF? Perhaps he should stop being a fascist dictator for a day.

White House claimed that by snubbing Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, the selection committee “proved they place politics over peace.”

MAGA policies have shafted rural voters bigly - from tariffs, inflation & cuts to health care, SNAP, and public broadcasting, etc! Gives us opportunity to build infrastructure in these key States for 2026 wins.

The FCC should be restrained from taking actions to compel speech that supports or opposes a specific platform. It is a regulatory agency, not an authoritarian’s weapon.

For generations, families have trusted TYLENOL® when it matters most.
Why? Because Tylenol is one of the most studied medications in history.

Acetaminophen is used worldwide as a first line of defense for pain relief and fever reduction, at the recommendation of independent public health and leading medical professionals and in accordance with the product label.
High fevers and pain are widely recognized as potential risks to a pregnancy if left untreated, especially in the first trimester.
Remember to talk to your doctor.
We prioritize science as the core of how we provide care, and that will never change.
