The Failures of β€œCentrism”
By moving to the so-called β€œcenter,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening ine The Failures of β€œCentrism”

As primary season kicks off today in North Carolina and Texas, some Democrats claim the party needs to "move to the center" to win in November.

Hogwash.

Democrats can't repeat the same failed playbook of the last 50 years. It's time for them to grow a spine.

Autism researchers rebuke Kennedy, form independent advisory group A group of autism researchers and advocates are forming an independent advisory body to develop a scientific agenda for the autism community.

The antidote to the incessant propaganda wheel (WH & the likes of Kennedy et al.) is to form your own damn independent advisory group.

The Independent Autism Coordinating Committee (I-ACC) includes autism researchers, also 2 former NIH directors who study autism for a living.
