Shreveport, LA, the largest city in Speaker Mike Johnson's district, has a murder rate more than twice Chicago's, and a crime rate considerably higher than both the state and national average. And Johnson isn't calling for the military to invade it. One of many ways we know this isn't about crime.

For the first time in 111 years, a President is planning to fire a sitting Fed governor—and of course, it’s the first Black woman, Lisa Cook.
Trump’s message is clear: when Black women rise, he’ll do anything to push us down.
Newsflash: we’re not going anywhere.

I’m 68 and might not be here today had Antidepressants not been prescribed for me following the birth of my first child.
Mental health conditions, like suicides & overdoses, are the leading underlying causes of maternal deaths in the US.
Antidepressants save women's lives—& they're safe.
So why is RFKJr's FDA hell-bent on undermining their use among pregnant & postpartum moms?

Is the FDA about to keep pregnant women from taking antidepressants?
A panel of experts repeated what one women's health expert called "MAHA talking points."

Trump will spend his weekend promoting a new golf course at his resort in Scotland – costing taxpayers an estimated $10 million.
After this jaunt, he will have spent at least $52 million of taxpayer money on golf trips.
If that’s not fraud, waste, and abuse, I don’t know what is.

ACA health insurance will cost the average person 75% more next year, research shows
A new analysis shows that health insurance premiums for Obamacare are set to soar next year, as financial help that subsidized the cost expires. Congress is not likely to extend the subsidies.
