A lot of people think the world can be made better by identifying the bad people and making them suffer in exactly the ways that we suffer. I understand that urge. It may bring some kind of catharsis. But we all need to understand that it doesn't actually *solve* anything.

This is a friendly reminder that vaccines save lives and they are one of the greatest public health achievements we have ever created. It’s worked so well that people forget how bad these diseases used to be.

Kids DO get more shots now than they did decades ago. There’s also a lot less death from preventable illnesses. That’s a win! Let’s dive into the wonderful world of Vaccine Schedules. The AAP first took ownership of schedules back in the late 1930s and we continue to recommend the vaccine schedule.

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today.

This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

Tech CEOs donated millions to President Trump’s inauguration, hosted black-tie parties and dinners in his honor, and allowed him to announce and take credit for new multibillion-dollar manufacturing projects. But Trump has hardly returned their lavish gestures with favors.

Tech C.E.O.s Spent Millions Courting Trump. It Has Yet to Pay Off.

With inauguration donations and Mar-a-Lago visits, leaders of the biggest tech companies sought favor with the president in an attempt to steer regulation and tariffs, to little avail.

George HW Bush (R) got us mired in a recession. Clinton (D) got us out.

George W Bush (R) got us mired in a recession. Obama (D) got us out.

Trump (R) got us mired in a recession. Biden (D) got us out.

Trump (R) is yet again ushering us into a recession.

Starting to notice a trend?

What does Trump's Liberation Day mean for tariffs and prices

www.npr.org/2025/04/02/n...

Today is Trump's 'Liberation Day.' What does that mean for tariffs?

President Trump has been promising new "reciprocal tariffs" to punish other countries for their tariffs and trade barriers. Markets are nervous that a trade war could hike prices and hurt the economy.

Trump and Musk's backing wasn't enough to flip Wisconsin Supreme Court

National Democrats sent in millions for the liberal's campaign while Trump endorsed — and Musk financed — the conservative's. Abortion, redistricting and Tesla could come before the court.

DOGE is nothing more than two billionaires cosplaying as government officials. I’m all for making government for efficient, but these guys just want to slash resources for agencies that help working people.
