We now have the Administration giving 1.4 million acres of our National Forest in Alaska to facilitate the destruction of the Arctic environment for oil.  We have the Iran war and blockade.  Public land and National Forest protections are being eliminated with laws enabling fake wildfire projects to further expand clearcuts and eliminate old growth in our National Forests.

The Republican Party is dead. Long live the party of Trump, which wears the GOP like a skin suit. On Tuesday, President Donald Trump took down libertarian-leaning Rep. Thomas Massie (R–Ky.), to whom he’d taken such a profound dislike that he backed a primary challenger in the form of MAGA stalwart Ed Gallrein. Massie was highly ranked for his voting record by conservative organizations, but so were other candidates Trump pushed out of office—and out of the party. In truth, it’s been years since the Republican Party was a conservative organization; these days it’s a cult of personality around the…

Please consider a tax-deductible donation. Joshua Scheer Ron Kovic’s life is more than a story about Vietnam — it is a brutal indictment of the machinery of war itself.

The Food and Drug Administration in recent months has approved a small number of drugs quite quickly under a new expedited review program. But Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has overstated the impact of the program by making misleading comparisons to the pace of drug approvals in the past. “We just approved two new drugs, two new oncology drugs, in record time, one in 45 days,” Kennedy said at an April 16 congressional hearing, adding that the other was approved in 55 days. “The closest before that was 310 days.” At another hearing that same day,…
