Opinion | What to Do When the President Acts Like a Five-Year-Old?

“Most children learn that flipping the board doesn’t make them the winner. It just means the game is over. In a democracy, the same lesson holds. We need our referees…& leaders who understand that losing the game fairly is far more honorable than winning by force.”

Easterly’s words, how the quiet labor of truth and the steady pulse of integrity are getting drowned out, are ringing in my ears.

A conflict between two Americans: one, a West Point grad, combat vet, Rhodes Scholar, expert and academic. The other… a woman banned from Uber because she was too abusive to Muslim drivers.

The Trump administration dropped charges against a doctor accused of destroying $28,000 in Covid vaccines, giving children saline shots instead of the vaccine, and selling faked vaccination cards. Corruption kills.

More than 130 workers on strike at Janesville Mercyhealth clinic “Our members do virtually everything from providing multiple levels of care to facility maintenance,” the union stated. “Non-profit healthcare workers should be able to afford their own healthcare.”

Over 130 UAW Local 95 workers with Mercyhealth in Wisconsin are striking for better wages and affordable health insurance. It is absurd that medical workers cannot afford their own health care.

Mercyhealth needs to come to the table with a fair offer for their workers NOW.

This administration is saying that "people should have to prove that they deserve health care" as justification for kicking millions off Medicaid. That's eugenics.

Health care is a human right, and everyone deserves access to health care no matter who they are, what they do, or how they live.

Close-up of a Stock Dove, showing its soft grey feathers, glossy black eye, and a hint of iridescent green and purple on the neck. Its slight upturned beak and gentle expression give the impression of a serene - and mysteriously knowing - smile, set against a softly blurred green background.

You have been visited by the smiling Stock Dove.

It grants you great wisdom and fortune.
