β€œAs a Veteran, the former Director of the Center for Women Veterans at VA, and a VA patient, I strongly believe this is a dangerous and harmful change.” – Kayla Williams, Senior Policy Advisor, VoteVets

Rolling back abortion care at VA will harm women Veterans, risk lives, and betray our service.

Scientists extract 99% of lithium from rocks using a simple water solution Scientists extract more than 99% of lithium from rocks using water and common products, reducing costs, emissions, and toxic waste.

Progress on one of the most important issues affecting climate!

If we can get lithium oxide out as energy-efficiently as brine evaporation, it will be the equivalent of finding 7 billion tons of gold in the US.

Game changer for transitioning to greener energy.

Congratulations, sir! Appearing on South Park is an honor, indeed. Not only have you "finally made it", you had the best line of dialogue in the show.

Good luck with your love of furniture and your continuing EPSTEIN Cover-Up,

We are at or near full employment. There are at least 7.5 million undocumented workers. There are not 7.5 million Americans ready, willing, and able to take those jobs, so positions will go unfilled.

That means businesses will close, the economy will shrink, and Americans will *lose* jobs.

Sorry but people who tell you that β€œit’s not the government’s job to take care of you” are such losers. You pay the government money! You deserve something!

Do they also go to Wendy’s and offer them donations without expecting food? Like β€œhey well done on existing, here’s some money, bye”?

Grocery stores that have been eating the cost of tariffs are about to pump the brakes. Some are looking to be more transparent about the coming price hikes.

Starting tomorrow, new tariffs of 15% to 50% hit a wide range of food items.

If you’ve got a household food budget, this is a must-watch.

This morning, Border Patrol agents hiding in Penske rental trucks raided a Home Depot in Los Angeles to grab day laborers standing around, which the Border Patrol's current CA lead Gregory Bovino called "Operation Trojan Horse."

Raises very serious questions about violation of the court order.

My great-grandfather led a team of doctors that invented chemotherapy. He’s part of the legacy of breakthroughs in medical science that saved so many lives. And now we’re going to throw away years of groundbreaking research because we put a manifestly unqualified person in charge of public health.

A very clear lesson for Americans who oppose Trump and think the solution was "what if we just leaned into the whole xenophobia culture war thing to win back the Trumpists."

It... does not work.

The Orange County Mayor, which encompasses Orlando, signed an agreement to cooperate with ICE as he, along with the entire board of county commissioners, were threatened with removal from office if they didn't.

They should've forced DeSantis to do it and not take the cowardly way out.
