We can’t talk about HIV without talking about Southern Africa, where AIDS has done the most damage, where during the peak of the epidemic, some areas saw as many as 50% of pregnant women test positive (keep in mind pregnancy is proof of unsafe sex).

Senators have about a week before they’re set to vote on soon-to-expire Affordable Care Act subsidies. Most of them already believe the chances for a bipartisan breakthrough by then are roughly zero.

Anyone else have this on their mind too?
For years, Republicans insisted that the path to lower cost healthcare was a market based system. The story they sold us was more competition would lead to lower prices.

The survivors of Hegseth's bombing run would be "hors de combat" or out of the fight due to injury or shipwreck. It is a clear violation of the Geneva Convention.

Yes, Georgia is a red state, but before we go the FAFO route, remember Trump’s margin of victory in Georgia was 2.2%. So a lot of folks didn’t vote for this.
