In the absence of real oversight, we will continue to bear the costs of an administration that privileges ideology over evidence: increased risk of disease, narrowing scope for discovery and innovation, and reduced economic activity.

This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard
Dr Oz: "If we could get the average American to start working a year earlier, right out of high school, or a year later -- not retire -- or work better during their lifetime because they're healthy, it would generate about $3 trillion to the US economy. That would more than remove the debt."

The Trump era in a nutshell:
Ordinary citizens are holding ICE accountable, while large law firms are doing nothing.
Small businesses are speaking out, while large corporations remain silent.
Independent media show moral urgency, while legacy media reports "both sides."
