Ten years ago *Last Week Tonight* aired a Mother’s Day segment on paid leave. Guess what? We *still* don’t have a national policy. Moms are done waiting. Care is essential, child care is unaffordable, and rights are under attack.

13 states stepped up. Congress, you’re next. Tag your reps.

Canadian election is in full swing. Carney is stealing the Conservative Party’s platform, he says one thing in Quebec and then says the complete opposite in Alberta.
This man is not fit to be Prime Minister

The Canadian election is in full swing. Over the last 10 years, the liberal party has ran up a huge deficit that our grand children and their grand children will be paying for.
Canada CANNOT afford another tax and spend Liberal government.

Despite Donald's lies, a tariff is, in fact, a tax. Tomorrow, Todd Beeton explores the transformation of the GOP into the party of tax hikes. Yesterday, Jay Kuo spoke with law professor Tobias Barrington Wolff about the looming constitutional showdown between the judiciary and executive branches.
This Week In The Big Picture
Last week, Donald Trump’s trade advisor Peter Navarro went on Fox and declared with a straight face: “Tariffs are tax cuts.” Such Orwellian spin was brazen even for the serial liars currently occupyin...

*MILLIONS* will die—WILL, not might—because Trump let Musk illegally and unconstitutionally destroy USAID.

The blood of millions directly on the hands of Donald Trump and Elon Musk
The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought:
- 1.65 million deaths from AIDS
- 500,000 from lack of vaccines
- 550,000 from lack of food aid
- 290,000 from malaria
- 310,000 from TB
Killing children is by design, I'm afraid. "Pro-natalists" like Musk claim they aren't racist, but their pressure to have children is solely focused on white women, while they back policies that literally kill of non-white children.

He's a eugenicist.
