When I was on that plan, I used only the "free" preventative services and then knocked on wood that I didn't break a leg or get ill because my deductible was $9000. I am sure there are many people like me getting their annual physicals and vaccinations, then knocking on wood...

If only the 4th of July ended at 5 pm. Tired of hearing fireworks blasting all week long. Tired of blind patriotism. Tired of pretending the men who signed the declaration of independence were saints. Tired of Trump. Is it July 5 yet?

Mr. Trump: Haitians in Ohio were “eating the pets” of their neighbors. Haitians “probably have AIDS.” Haiti is a “shithole country,” which is “filthy, dirty, disgusting.” Haitian immigration is “like a death wish for our country.” Haitians are “poisoning the blood” of the nation.

This story is so heartbreaking and shows why so much is wrong with ICE and how our country deports people.

At this point,Trump and Hegseth should both be locked up before they cause any more damage. No one is safe with these two free to maim and threaten others.

The Dept of Defense is lowering standards for everyone except the highly qualified, motivated people who belong to minority groups the White House despises. Based on his new recruitment policies, Hegseth cares more about winning culture wars than the real war he just helped start. trib.al/f2gGETs

empathy for trump, a man who doesn't even understand the meaning of the word nor cares to learn the power of empathy, a man who says all immigrants here illegally are dangerous thugs, who wishes people he views as leftist were dead?

I wish more people were as (ideally considerably more) concerned about all the innocent people being murdered by the regimes of Trump and Netanyahu as they are about the price of gas. What about the price of those losing their lives over a senseless war?

I really wish this wasn't the 250th anniversary of our country with trump in office. This regime is such an insult to the meaning of democracy.

Israel’s bombing of Iran’s oil infrastructure will have major long-term environmental repercussions, experts have warned, as monitors admitted they were struggling to keep track of the environmental disasters arising from the widening war.
