Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a reminder that early detection saves lives. I’m committed to expanding access to lifesaving screenings, affordable treatment, and the research needed to find a cure.

Together, we can support survivors and end this horrible disease for good.

Epstein Survivor Lisa Phillips: Everyone makes it about Trump and Epstein, but it’s about this whole ring of men. That’s what makes me upset, because we know they were there. We saw them. We know there were royalty, princes, very powerful people in academia and tech, and we saw them at parties.

Yikes — WP reports Rubio turned over gang informants to El Salvador to get that deal to let Trump send immigrants to their hard labor prison without due process.

Gaza has 2.2 million people. In 2 years, 10% of the population has been killed or wounded. Their entire infrastructure has been destroyed.

Instead of giving more military aid to Netanyahu’s extremist government, the US must work with the international community to rebuild Gaza.
