The median home price in the U.S. has reached a record high of $435,300.

The Israeli military has killed over 1,000 Palestinians in Gaza seeking aid, and its blockade is starving innocent children.

NO. Americans won’t just ‘get over it’ - they’ll face pain, higher costs and gut wrenching choices about their health care. We all need to stand up against this bill.

What a disappointment Deluzio has been, another Republican Lite. First voted for the Laken Riley Act and then against the impeachment effort.

Criminalizing pregnancy: A record number of women were prosecuted the year after Dobbs They were targeted for substance use, miscarriages, and stillbirths, largely driven by fetal personhood laws.

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
