It's ironic because the Trump admin completely vindicated gender studies as a field. Like we're all living through some sort of unethical gender studies experiment.

Trump’s EPA will no longer limit pollution from gas and coal-burning power plants. Reminder: Trump took millions of dollars in donations from Big Oil, and his EPA chief Lee Zeldin is cozy with the coal industry. Is there anything this regime won’t destroy to please its bankrollers?

Just did a quick look around and I don't see very many headlines about the President of the US making people pledge allegiance to him personally while telling everyone to commit election fraud and "cheat like hell" to support his party. Seems like it should be a story?

In the 25 years since 9/11, the United States has spent $8 trillion+ on wars that have taken millions of lives in the name of fighting "terror." Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds here on climate, health care, housing, and education?

The Trump administration is closing research projects that help fight cyclospora, the foodborne parasite giving thousands of Americans diarrhea and pain this summer. Three out of the three government projects that help combat the parasite are effectively shutting down.

Susan Collins voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh, and she still says she doesn’t regret it. That vote helped overturn Roe v. Wade and strip away abortion rights for millions of women. Mainers should judge Susan Collins by her record — and that record has hurt women and families across our state.
