Despite Promises, Veterans Affairs Department Cut Thousands of Roles for Doctors and Nurses

Got it. There's plenty of funding to send troops into harm’s way, but not to take care of their health afterwards. This is shameful.

ICE under Trump 2.0 built an unprecedented media operation - deploying videographers to raids, pumping out edgy social posts, swiping pop music for hype videos - and the main metric for evaluating its impact shows that Americans now hate ICE more than ever

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very oftenβ€”and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

Over 40% of global shipping by volume exists to move fossil fuels from one place to another.

A huge share of the world's maritime infrastructure has been built around a system that is going to change dramatically as renewable energy and electrification displace fossil fuels.

They claim to have been planning this for months, to allegedly keep Americans safe, but had no plan to evacuate any Americans from the region because it happened too quickly.

While we’re debating whether or not Trump called into C-SPAN using a pseudonym to rant about the Supreme Court, let’s not lose sight of how we’re all in agreement this is something he would do and this is the person with the nuclear codes.

This one could make you cry. (For years international adoptees became U.S. citizens only when their adoptive parents took the needed steps to get them naturalized; a 2000 law automatically naturalizes legal adoptees on arrival, but that came too late for this woman).

Happening now: a delegation with the faith group Coalition for Spiritual and Public Leadership has gathered outside the Broadview, IL ICE facility.

Those waiting to offer Ash Wednesday ashes and communion to those inside the facility have been joined by others for a small prayer service.

The Nonresponse To Donald Trump How an obscure quirk of statistics and human nature explains the liberal crisis of confidenceβ€”and why it may finally be lifting.

Trump has lost the culture. But what if the universal conventional wisdomβ€”that he won the culture in the first placeβ€”was never true? What if our warped media environment, then Trump's victory, created an illusion of MAGA cultural dominance that is now slipping. This is a long one, so strap in.

You probably heard that the Tour Down Under was interrupted by kangaroos last week. So I ranked the countries where cycling's top races take place by how much it'd suck to encounter the national animal at full speed on a bike.
