Health insurers are jacking up premiums while raking in billions in profits.

Expiring ACA subsidies will saddle millions of Americans with massive monthly premium increases.

Is it any wonder that 63% of Americans now support Medicare for All?

Halting spending approved by Congress.

Firing independent inspectors general.

Replacing civil servants with loyalists.

Dismantling key federal agencies.

All plans pulled from Project 2025.

Remember when Trump denied knowing about the playbook and the media gave him a pass?

Bishop Asks Trump to β€˜Have Mercy’ on Immigrants and Gay Children The direct appeal to President Trump at the start of the first full day of his presidency was a remarkable moment at a National Cathedral event that traditionally has not been political.

I've seen a child with tetanus, I've treated near fatal infections after chicken pox, and I've pronounced children dead from COVID whose parents refused to have them vaccinated.

We have lost our minds... and are about to lose so many of our precious children.

A case study of systemic inequities in the criminal justice system. This monster’s brave victims were failed at every turn and to the very end of his pathetic life. He should have been in jail pre-trial and if he wasn’t white and a cop he would have been. This case sickens me to my core.

Slashing Medicaid for Trump's Tax Cuts Would Hurt Millions The program provides much needed health insurance coverage to one in five Americans, including 40% of children.

With talk of Republicans planning to target Medicaid, a reminder of what's at stake and why you shouldn't be fooled by promises that vulnerable groups can be protected from cuts. My latest @opinion.bsky.social (gift link):
