BREAKING NEWS: The Trump admin just announced they are opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for oil drilling.

This is exactly what Big Oil and Big Gas were hoping for when they donated hundreds of millions of dollars to Trump.

Now he’s handing them a blank check.

Now they are rigging death numbers so no one knows how many people die because of their attacks on vaccines and science.

These people have found their health care at the center of a shutdown showdown Small business owners, self-employed people and early retirees are among the 24 million Americans who could lose the tax credit

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes.

That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.
