For a long time, Switzerland was one of the least transparent countries re. party and campaign finance.

Regulations have now been in place for two years. An analysis shows: Only about half of the ballot campaigns did the side with more money actually win.

Money does not buy all of our politics.

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

And our tax dollars paid for these prisons run by private companies…

The hungry red panda at the Prospect Park Zoo? Adorable.

The HungryPanda delivery app scamming small businesses? Not adorable. So they will be paying $580,000 back.

We'll keep pursuing companies that take advantage of New Yorkers, and we'll keep asking if we can pet a red panda just for a second.

I do not know what the final outcome of this debacle will be. The FDA had indicated that they won’t approve the vaccine without new Phase III Trials.

Millions of people took to the streets across the country (and not just in blue cities) yesterday to protest the Trump Administration's authoritarianism, but you wouldn't know from this that it's a BFD.

‘Visibly upset and struggling’: Acting ICE head hospitalized twice over stress, officials say Several current and former officials blame intense pressure from the White House.

57 of my fellow students were arrested, academically disciplined, and barred from campus 2 weeks before finals.

And then the visas of some of those students were quietly revoked.

And then the DEI office was killed.

And then we watched our mentors’ grants evaporate over “woke”.
