As the religious right gained prominence starting in the 70s, the religious left grew quieter. But this year, a surprising number of ministers and religious professionals are running as Democrats.

Christian nationalism's grip on American faith is finally breaking
I helped build the religious right. After ICE killings, I saw what could replace it.

Troy Jackson: We're losing $3 billion in healthcare. We're losing SNAP benefits. We're losing heating assistance. Susan Collins could have stopped that if she really cared. But she doesn't. She does whatever Trump wants. I can't understand how anyone in their right mind can actually defend that vote

It's almost like... the richest president in history never actually cared about affordability in the first place...

Trump ran on lowering prices. Now most Americans blame him for them.
An October poll also found that most blame Trump's policies for making affordability struggles worse.

You cannot convince me that frat brothers organically walked into separate police interviews using the same word, “consensual,” and that it wasn’t coordinated. Especially after a witness told police there was allegedly a fraternity meeting to get everyone “on the same page”.

It's almost like putting a quack anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist in charge of the nation's health policy has consequences. "The United States has now had more measles deaths in the past two years than we have had in the previous three decades combined...": www.ms.now/news/pennsyl...

Pennsylvania’s measles outbreak is the largest in decades in the U.S.
The state has surpassed 1,000 measles cases this year, health officials said Monday, making it the largest outbreak in the U.S. in more than three decades.

A Cayman Islands source gave Blum incriminating intel on 20 ultrarich Americans defrauding the US Treasury. He took it to the IRS in Miami, where a special agent looked over the documents and told him to get lost. Blum had expected gratitude. “This whole thing is a career killer,” the agent said.

Farmers should be able to fix the equipment they own. When monopolies lock farmers out of their own tractors, they can charge whatever they want. One Texas farmer reports being charged $60,000 for a repair he couldn't legally make himself. Our farmers deserve the Right to Repair.
