Duckworth: "It is a war crime. It's illegal. No matter how you put it, it's all illegal. I've been shot down behind enemy lines. Under the laws of war, you are supposed to help render aid to that individual ... you're not allowed to go back in and kill them."

Just unbelievable, the amount of damage this administration is going to cause in such a short amount of time.

RFK Jr & his hand-picked panel of anti-vaxxers are going to undo decades of progress.

Vaccines are safe & save lives. Every parent should be terrified — I know I am.
RFK Jr.’s CDC panel: No more hepatitis B vaccine for some newborns

Earlier this week, Norway stopped all deep sea mining in Arctic waters until at least 2029. A huge win for ocean protection.

Now Norway must join the 40+ countries calling for a global moratorium and protect our oceans for good.
