Omg. In a shocking moment, Nancy Bolan, a fired USAID worker and tonight’s guest of Rep. Ritchie Torres — reveals that Donald Trump has pulled the U.S. from the global polio eradication initiative — which threatens its spread to the U.S. Every single American should see this.

Who should pay billions for climate disasters? California and others target Big Oil — will that work? States and counties are using a legal strategy that took down Big Tobacco, hoping to make oil companies pay for damage they have denied. But many obstacles remain.

It is painfully clear

Trump tells Zelensky he’s 'gambling with WWIII' in heated Oval Office meeting President Trump told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that he was "gambling with World War III" during a fiery Oval Office exchange Friday.

Trump's warning to Zelensky about "gambling with World War III" reflects a dangerous mindset where global tensions escalate due to personal politics. This highlights a broader pattern—leaders prioritizing ego over diplomacy, risking humanity’s future.
