Gun Deaths of Children Rose in States That Loosened Gun Laws, Study Finds

New analysis shows that loose gun laws contributed to more kids dying from gun violence. It's sickening.

It’s time for Congress to pass common-sense gun laws that protect every kid in America from gun violence.

When Americans raised concerns about RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine views, he said he was "not gonna take away vaccines from anybody."

But now he's taking them away from millions of mommas and babies.

Vaccine recommendations should be based on science, not RFK Jr.'s political agenda.

YouTube video by Senator Elizabeth Warren BREAKING: House Republicans JUST passed Trump’s “big, beautiful bill.”

BREAKING: Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are popping champagne because House Republicans JUST passed Trump’s “big, beautiful bill.”

This bill is a BIG tax handout for billionaires, paid for by ripping health insurance from 14 MILLION people.

We must stop this from passing the Senate.

Americans didn’t send us to Congress to help Trump turn the White House into a crypto cash machine.

We can't look the other way when the President hosts a private dinner for his top meme coin buyers—or pass crypto bills like the GENIUS Act that would further line his pockets.

Pope Francis, who reached out to the margins of society, has died at 88 The pope was a strong advocate for the poor and the environment and a towering figure on the world stage, addressing not just Catholics but the men and women of our time.

The pope was a strong advocate for the poor and the environment and a towering figure on the world stage, addressing not just Catholics but the men and women of our time.

Pope Francis lifted the world as he led the Church with his profound moral voice. As he returns to God, may his call to humility and concern for the least among us continue to resound.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

Donald Trump promised to lower costs, in his own words, “on day one.”

Now, Trump and Elon Musk are gutting the consumer agency, which will increase costs on working people.

Seriously? Someone arrest his ass already.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse.

Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.
