Zoe Weissman survived the Parkland shooting. Now she’s at Brown, and it happened again.

Maybe someone could ask the president not to post the all-clear on mass shootings before the suspect is in custody.

Remember when we were not losing jobs in droves, or at odds with all our allies, or attacking other nations for their resources, or deploying masked thugs to terrorize our citizens, or pardoning drug traffickers and violent criminals in exchange for bribes?

It was only little over a year ago.

If Trump invades Venezuela to distract the country from the release of the Epstein files, Congressional Democrats will have blood on their hands.

When ProPublica’s @gingerthompson.bsky.social began talking to people in Albany, GA, she didn’t expect that they would be so fearful to criticize the town’s sole hospital on the record — or how powerless they were to hold that hospital to account.

Read our 5-part "Sick in a Hospital Town" series:
Sick in a Hospital Town: As Phoebe Memorial Grew, the Health of Albany, Georgia, Declined
The five-part series, “Sick in a Hospital Town,” pursues one question: Why are people in Albany so sick when its most powerful institution is a hospital?

There’s a mass murderer in the White House.
The Trump-Vance admin has been committing illegal strike after illegal strike. They're trying to normalize it.

They're counting on you to lose track, to be too overwhelmed to remember the gravity of what they're doing.

But we're keeping track of every single strike.

So far: 22 strikes. 87 killed.

The Trump administration is committing illegal strike after illegal strike. Don’t look away, and don’t lose track.

Oh
Tyson is shutting down its Lexington, Nebraska plant in January 2026. That’s 3,200 workers gone in one shot, the largest plant shutdown in company history.

Blame Trump’s tariff chaos and the lowest cattle inventories in decades. Tariffs jack up costs. Supply shrinks. Plants close. Towns hollow out.
