Overnight, the Trump administration purged top health professionals at the CDC, including experts in morbidity and 70 infectious disease officials. This happened as measles cases are spreading. In total, 4,000 federal employees were terminated across the government within 48 hours.

Regular Covid vaccinations needed to reduce cardiac risks Regular Covid vaccinations are needed to reduce associated cardiac risks, experts at the European Cardiology Society have concluded.

Reminder: instead of funding classroom supports, Doug Ford spent $1.8 billion on bribery cheques to parents.

This would have paid the salary of 30,000 educational assistants to keep children with Autism safe and learning at school.

Just sayinโ€™.

Today the Ontario NDP passed a resolution to protect local voices in education by defending elected school boards against the governmentโ€™s threats to eliminate them by the end of 2025.

We need trustees.

We need to protect local democracy.

Hi. Iโ€™m Rachel.

My name is first on the website the North American far-right is using to target people they say โ€œcelebratedโ€ Charlie Kirkโ€™s death.

Thereโ€™s just one problem: I never did that.

But the people sending me threats donโ€™t seem to care.

Let me tell you, in my own words, what happened:
