Trump officials consider physician, a Fox News regular, for top vaccine post Houman Hemmati is under consideration to lead the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research. A final decision has not been made.

First, Trump appointed RFK Jr.

Then, we saw one measles outbreak after another, including here in Michigan.

Now, Trump's next pick to lead national vaccine policy is another pseudoscience wacko.

Enough is enough.

In the UP, heat isn't a comfort. It's survival. And right now, UP families are getting hit from every direction. Consumers Energy just received an 8.9% rate hike approved by the MPSC, the latest in a string of increases that have added nearly $800 million in annual revenue for the utility since 2020

My grandpa was a lineman.

He had a high school education, served his country in the Army, and then spent his entire career with the same telephone company — because that job, and that union, gave him something real:

Sen. Warnock is right: Republicans found $200 billion for a war in Iran overnight. But for 25 million uninsured Americans? Nothing. No urgency. No bill. No vote. They fund what they value. And they just told you exactly what that is.

I’m deeply grateful to Leader Brinks for her support and for the partnership we’ve built over the years delivering for Michiganders. I look forward to continuing that partnership as we protect our elections, defend the right to vote, and build on the progress we’ve made to #StandTALL for Michigan.

Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy. He talks about
"fear" of the Trump Administration, but doesn't mention the FEAR that the Catholic Church, and all other Christian Organizations, had during COVID when they were arresting priests, ministers, and everybody else, for holding Church Services, even when going outside, and being ten and even twenty feet apart. I like his brother Louis much better than I like him, because Louis is all MAGA. He gets it, and Leo doesn't! I don't want a Pope who thinks it's OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon. I don't want a Pope who thinks it's terrible that America attacked Venezuela, a Country that was sending massive amounts of Drugs into the United States and, even worse, emptying their prisons, including murderers, drug dealers, and killers, into our Country. And I don't want a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States because I'm doing exactly what I was elected, IN A LANDSLIDE, to do, setting Record Low Numbers in Crime, and creating the Greatest Stock Market in History. Leo should be thankful because, as everyone knows, he was a shocking surprise. He wasn't on any list to be Pope, and was only put there by the Church because he was an American, and they thought that would be the best way to deal with President Donald
J. Trump. If I wasn't in the White House, Leo wouldn't be in the Vatican.
Unfortunately, Leo's Weak on Crime, Weak on Nuclear Weapons, does not sit well with me, nor does the fact that he meets with Obama Sympathizers like David Axelrod, a LOSER from the Left, who is one of those who wanted churchgoers and clerics to be arrested. Leo should get his act together as Pope, use Common Sense, stop catering to the Radical Left, and focus on being a Great Pope, not a Politician. It's hurting him very badly and, more importantly, it's hurting the Catholic Church! President DONALD J. TRUMP

My heart breaks for America. I’m grateful for the strong moral leadership of Pope Leo, and I pray for
his safety, but I’m just so ashamed for my country.

Kaine: "You don't sucker punch somebody in a bar and then blame your buddies when they don't join the fight with you. If the president wanted the support of allies, he should've respected them instead of putting tariffs on their economies and trash talking them."

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán concedes defeat in key election, ending 16 years in power Partial official results show opposition leader Peter Magyar's party dominating the vote, in a bombshell election result with repercussions around Europe and beyond.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán concedes defeat to Peter Magyar in key election, ending 16 years in power.

This is another piece of evidence that fascists are losing popularity. Vance & Trump are less popular here & in Europe! Throwing their support behind Orbán sure didn’t help him. 😏

Every person who cares one iota about the environment needs to rage loudly over this. It will set us back a century. Demand from your Reps & Senators they stop this. It affects many GOP strongholds throughout the entire US. Also check out this site listing companies supporting Forest Service or not.

Trump’s Staggering Humiliation in Iran Desperate for an off-ramp, the president is setting up the U.S. to lose another war in the Middle East—even if the ceasefire doesn’t hold.

"The Iran war increasingly looks not only like another shocking humiliation but perhaps the greatest strategic blunder in American military history. "

I'm honored to have the support of the Michigan Democratic Party Spanish Speakers Caucus. Too many families in our state face language and other barriers when trying to vote and access the services and information they need from their government. This must change.

In the best case scenario, Trump struck a deal to reopen a Strait that was open before the pointless war he started, with the IRGC demonstrating its control over the Strait and potentially extracting fees plus sanctions relief.
Thousands of innocents - including hundreds of children - dead in Lebanon and Iran for no reason.
U.S. troops killed and wounded. U.S. embassies and bases in the Middle East badly damaged. U.S. standing in the world obliterated. U.S. munitions badly depleted. Hundreds of billions spent. Prices up everywhere. More global economic fallout to come. Putin strengthened and enriched. Just a catastrophic situation even in the best of circumstances. A profoundly shameful episode in American history no matter what happens next.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.

This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.
