How does softening up on swastikas square with the administration’s alleged goal of combatting anti-semitism? How’s that working out?

Jayapal: It is a strange and bizarre time when we literally have a president thinking about plating the ballroom in gold—while he’s thrown 15 million Americans off healthcare, fired over 150,000 federal workers, and is threatening to fire even more if we go into a shutdown.

First Trump and RFK Jr. gutted research, silenced scientists, and blocked lifesaving public health guidance. Now it seems they may have used AI to cite fake studies in their so-called “MAHA Report.”   These people are unserious — but they pose a serious risk to Americans' health.

White House MAHA Report may have garbled science by using AI, experts say
The report, led by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., was intended to address the reasons for the decline in Americans’ life expectancy.

This is what a rigged economy looks like: In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker. In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker. This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker. That has got to change.
