The VA's new rule could slash disability ratings for veterans whose meds are working. Secretary Collins says it won't be enforced—but veterans shouldn't have to take that on faith. They earned these benefits. The Trump administration must rescind this harmful rule now.
Trump’s tariff taxes are hurting Main Street, allowing small businesses to become victims of predatory lenders. Instead of offering help, Trump’s @SBAgov is throwing small businesses to the wolves by preventing refinance options through SBA.
Congrats to the four BC Eagles soaring the U.S.A. Women’s Ice Hockey Team to today’s Gold Medal victory, including Megan Keller ‘19 on the game-winning goal!
Trump’s “Board of Peace” is a pay-to-play scam that undermines our commitment to peace and human rights around the world. We don’t need backroom deals made by Trump cronies who will say and pay whatever to get a seat at the table. We need diplomacy and democracy.
At least the DOJ isn’t hiding its client list. Now release the Epstein files.
This is absolutely unacceptable. ICE must immediately stop detaining pregnant women.
Americans don’t want another endless war in the Middle East. We want health care, not warfare. Trump the wrecking ball must be stopped.
Dr. Bhattacharya oversaw unprecedented cuts to NIH research, with thousands of grants terminated and hundreds of clinical trials. Now Trump wants him running the CDC as measles continues to spread and flu season rages on?
This is reckless. Our public health is not a game.
Big Tech, Big Brother, and a big violation of Americans' free speech. Social media companies must not hand over users' private information to DHS simply because they criticized ICE.
Authoritarianism, plain and simple.
Todd Lyons must immediately confirm or deny whether ICE is building a database of protesters. If true, this would be an appalling attack on Americans’ free speech and right to protest. Peaceful dissent is not a crime. It’s a constitutional right.
Resuming nuclear testing—and inflaming a new arms race—is not the answer here. Let’s engage with China and figure out what happened. New nuclear testing would be a gift to China.
Ramadan Mubarak to all those observing this holy month across the Commonwealth and around the world. May this month bring you peace and renewal and be a time for reflection, connection, and joy with your loved ones.
Trump claims he wants a deal with Iran, not war. That’s B.S. We had a great deal with Iran on its nuclear program in 2015, but Trump tore it up and then bombed Iran last summer. Trump is a dangerous warmonger that must be stopped.
