in March 2021, the supplement was scrapped and thousands of families were allowed to fall back into poverty.

That's despite research suggesting that it may be cheaper to end poverty than to maintain it.
Price of poverty hurts us all, yet research reveals an easy fix
In 2020, Australia massively increased welfare payments and conducted a live experiment in ending poverty, but when the subsidy was removed, many were thrown back into hardship. Leaving aside the mora...

The President of the United States thinks a test for dementia is an IQ test, and none of his sycophants will tell him he’s wrong.

Since he claimed herd immunity was inevitable, our NIH director invented his own definition to avoid admitting error (from 12/2022).

Since people can only die once, obviously the death rate would go down. This is not herd immunity.

Quite weird to see the Waubra Foundation mentioned in this

That's the anti-wind group we were up against in the mid 2010s, which spread health fear around wind turbines

Trump is executing people on the high seas by deeming them "enemy combatants" without any proof.

He's also called his political opponents — immigrants, Democrats, protesters — the "enemy within."

Put it together: How close is Trump to ordering attacks on them, too?

RFK Jr. has betrayed millions of Americans like me who suffer from chronic illness
OPINION: “According to research published by the CDC, 3 in 4 Americans have a chronic illness. That’s nearly 200 million people, and Kennedy is helping none of us,” Effie Seiberg writes.
