400 days to save American democracy During a long stay in the US, I saw how Trump exploits deep-seated structural weaknesses. The November 2026 midterm elections are now crucial.

Frightening read, but right on target.

All we have to do is NOT watch what he wants us to watch. Boycott MSM. I haven't watched TV in 20 years, and I don't miss it.

Right now we have a blue wave beginning in California and sweeping the nation. 47’s approval rating has sunk so low you need dig deep to find it. In my area, mayor of Boston refuses to cooperate, we are greater numbers than MAGA. Follow and get on board.

Opinion | New documents reveal Fox News’ perverse incentives have only gotten worse Filings in Smartmatic's lawsuit against the network show that the channel’s “pivot” after the 2020 election was just a taste of what’s to come.

#Faux operatives were actually PAID INCENTIVES to boost #Trump. No wonder half of them are now serving in the regime.

Applied science - Not basic science. We don't have to agree on this. We're not going to.

Sen. DURBIN: John R. Lewis once told me that the march on Selma wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for a federal judge granting them a permit. Judges have to power give the American people a voice.

Unfortunately not. One can be a world-class immunologist without ever seeing or treating a sick patient. Several past CDC Directors had degrees in public health and/or epidemiology.

But not in medicine or public health, both critical for her agency. The CDC isn't a basic science agency...

Trump claimed Epstein “stole” the girls he hired at Mar-a-Lago—why was he hiring young girls in the first place? Maxwell recruited them there. Rumors say illegal massages happened on-site. Was Mar-a-Lago a front? Now do you see why he packed DOJ/FBI with loyalists to cover it all up? #epstein

It is great to see the outpouring of support for PBS and NPR given the forthcoming cuts.

What I fear is Republicans are literally "banking" on the fact that Americans will step up and do the right thing to donate to public media while the 'pubs take care of the rich.

We are being played... again.

In a first, the Senate confirms a new CDC director Susan Monarez is the first director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to require Senate confirmation. She's also the first director without a medical degree in more than 70 years.

Air traffic controllers say a push to modernize equipment won't fix deeper problems Former and current U.S. air traffic controllers say the Trump administration's focus on new equipment doesn't address problems like grueling schedules and stagnating pay that are hurting morale.

Maryland taps Affordable Care Act fund to help pay for abortion care Like other states that still allow abortion, Maryland has seen an increase in people coming from out of state to get care. And it's found a new way to offer them financial support.
