Another fight over who controls the nation’s purse strings. The White House announced that it plans to cancel $810 million in spending already approved by Congress, using a rarely used maneuver known as a “pocket rescission.”

America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.
Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. In 2025, he made 1,794x more. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers? I will continue my boycott of Starbucks.

Dear Texans: Here's an election pro tip. If a candidate won't debate You don't vote for them. Period. It's that simple. By not debating they're saying you're concerns are not a priority. Vote for those who will debate. They have plans and value your concerns. Vote Talarico! Vote Hinojosa!

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

This is an entirely new phenomenon because before the vaccine, most women who survived measles were immune because they had it when they were young. But now, idiots who refuse to get vaccinated are giving birth to babies with measles. Two babies have died. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
