My former medical school is now offering students an elective taught by UNITED HEALTH CARE.

UPDATE: Since launching our own methane-tracking satellite earlier this year, California has helped close 10 large methane leaks in our state.
That pollution reduction is roughly the same as taking 18,000 gas-powered cars off the road for an entire year.

California is moving forward with a groundbreaking satellite project to track and reduce methane emissions.
With this innovative technology, we’ll be able to move faster to cut methane emissions — protecting Californians and tackling harmful pollution.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.
The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

Voters made it known last Tuesday that they'll elect leaders who stand up to Trump.

Health insurance premiums will surge, some families may end up paying more than HALF of their income for insurance, millions will lose coverage and thousands will die.
