About novel, “the great Gatsby”.
Written right before the Great Depression; it’s a tragedy; selfishness of the newly rich is the backdrop of the novel; so, that was a perfect theme for Trump’s Halloween party…especially as he ignored a court order to feed the hungry. you can’t make this stuff up.

See EMTALA.

Which Ronald Reagan signed into law.

Do your research.

I'm an ER doctor. JD Vance's claims about immigrants and wait times are utterly wrong.

Emergency medicine has a moral and legal commitment: treat anyone, anywhere, anytime.

The federal government is shut down because Trump & Congressional Republicans want higher healthcare costs for working people, even stripping care from millions.

Why? To give tax giveaways to billionaires, while expanding the fastest growing class in America: the working poor.

A president using the power of the state to punish critics — or to condition basic government services on political fealty — is not merely rough politics. It is aimed at crushing dissent and free and fair elections. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

This week, Congress released the message — and many more like it. Listen to "The Daily."

Inside Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th Birthday Book

A Times investigation looked into how the disgraced financier leveraged his rich and powerful friends.
