Donald Trump has not be seen in public since Wednesday, and he hasn't uttered a single word about yesterday's historic air travel ground stop -- not even on his Truth Social page

Could Oregon chart the course for universal health care in the US?

Oregon is on the verge of enacting a single-payer health care plan, but continued organizing is needed to secure this historic victory.

Cancer drug Revlimid is one of the bestselling pharmaceutical products of all time, with total sales of over $100 billion. It’s also extraordinarily expensive, costing nearly $1,000 for each pill, even though that pill costs just 25 cents to make. (Published May 2025)

The Price of Remission: This Cancer Drug Saves Lives — but Costs a Fortune. I Wanted to Know Why.

When I was diagnosed with cancer, I set out to understand why a single pill of Revlimid cost the same as a new iPhone. I’ve covered high drug prices as a reporter for years. What I discovered shocked ...

Garcia: "The idea that the president, the attorney general, the White House legal team is trying to intimidate us is not going to work. We were elected to do oversight."

“I’ve seen the military I dedicated my life to serving be turned against the people it was sworn to protect and defend.” Air Force veteran KD speaks on the steps of the Capitol, calling for the National Guard to get out of DC.
