Stagflation: a nightmare scenario where inflation rises, unemployment increases, and economic growth slows β€” all at the same time.

President Trump’s decision to impose sweeping tariffs on all foreign imports could trigger this rare and damaging economic crisis.

European countries, universities implement initiatives to attract US researchers amid 'brutal funding cuts' As the U.S. | As the U.S. cuts federal research funding and infrastructure, European countries are strategizing ways to attract top scientific talent, with the Netherlands government setting up a fund...

Thank you Europe for supporting our best and brightest scientists. The U.S. doesn't deserve their talents, economic benefits and life-saving breakthroughs right now. Make us earn their trust again.

"that Donald Trump’s approval rating is still in the mid-40s should scare the hell out of every American who understands the value of our constitutional republic, the freedoms that we enjoy, the rule of law- what he is doing is categorically against everything this country was founded on"

No. Now is not the time to play dead.

The Democrats have already played dead for too many years.

60% of our people are living paycheck to paycheck. Millions of seniors are going hungry.

Now is the time to stand up for the working class of this country.

For 250 years, the United States has supported democracy.

Now, in the middle of a horrific war that Putin started, Trump is turning his back on Ukraine and democracy, all to the benefit of a brutal dictator in Moscow.

β€œReality caught up to what he’s been warning us about,” said Paco Fabian of Our Revolution.

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.
