Clearly this must be evidence of a coverup. It certainly wasn't removed to 'protect a victim' if they restored it after getting hammered by the public.

They all have lucrative government contracts — and they're all donors to Trump's $400M ballroom.

Since his appointment, RFK Jr. has pursued a brutal vision of American health that several experts liken to a sort of eugenics. Kennedy has made it clear that certain deaths are acceptable or even preferable to a world where every child is vaccinated.

We created a new tool that uses prescription label information to identify where your drug was made.

It also lets you see if and when that factory was inspected for quality and safety violations.

The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead. Use information on your prescription label to locate the factory and see inspection reports.

Elon Musk’s net worth has now surpassed $600 billion, just weeks after Tesla approved his 10-year, $1 trillion pay package.

That could amount to $100 billion per year — more than 1.4 million elementary school teachers’ paychecks combined.

The Trump Admin wants to turn the clock back to 2008 and let Wall Street run wild.

We all know how that ended – with taxpayers bailing out Wall Street while millions lost their homes and got fired from their jobs.

Donald Trump could be setting the stage for the next crash.

EMTALA requires universal care for “emergency medical conditions” regardless of a person’s insurance status.

In the decades since its passage, some patients have died hours after failing to receive care they were legally entitled to.

Trump went into his first term claiming he'd overturn the ACA and kept promising he had a replacement coming.

He failed.

Second term...no replacement...but Republicans are still fighting to overturn it and gutting what we have left.

Disgusting.
