There was a time when she spoke out against sexual harassment perpetrated by people like Roger Ailes and Bill O’Reilly, but that was a different Kelly. Now as long as she likes the job they’re doing, getting a little β€œhandsy” is ok.

ICE’s spending on weaponry has soared more than 700 percent this year The $71.5 million spent so far has paid for guns and armor, chemical munitions, β€œguided missile warheads," and "explosive components.”

This is nuts. And we would like to know more about these "guided missile warheads."

The people running this country have zero respect for the Constitution, laws, rules of ethics and professional responsibility, traditions or norms. They are lawless gangsters drunk on power and nobody in their party outside the admin has the courage or integrity to stop them.

If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx.

The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake.

And that’s why we’re fighting back.

This morning I heard on the car radio that we are currently funding 40% of the cost of those tariffs with more to come. Farmers demand subsidies. I'm demanding mine. This is 2x in a short staffed ER this week. Hope the insurance covers.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

Scientists Completed a Toxicity Report on This Forever Chemical. The EPA Hasn’t Released It. Agency scientists found that PFNA could cause developmental, liver and reproductive harms. Their final report was ready in mid-April, according to an internal document reviewed by ProPublica, but the ...

The forever chemical PFNA is so hazardous that the EPA struck an agreement with 8 companies to phase it out nearly two decades ago.

Now an EPA report on its harms sits in limbo, and the Trump administration won’t say when it will be released.
