For generations doctors have understood that germs — like bacteria or viruses — cause infectious diseases.   Yet we now have an HHS Secretary casting doubt on the germ theory — the foundation of modern medicine. That’s not only unacceptable, it is dangerous. RFK Jr. must resign.

New Mexico's economy is a fraction of the size of New York City's. If they can enact universal childcare — and relieve working families of a crushing cost burden — surely we can too. It's just a question of political will.

The days since Charlie Kirk’s assassination have been filled with division, disparagement and calls for revenge by some politicians and public figures. But Utah Gov. Spencer Cox's civil and sober tone brought moral clarity to a moment of angst, members of both parties said.

If they have nothing to hide they have nothing to fear… 📌 California lawmakers just passed SB 627, the “No Secret Police Act,” which would make it illegal for law enforcement to hide their identities while on duty in the state.

NATO will send more warplanes and air defense systems to the eastern flank in response to Russian drone incursions into Polish airspace, the alliance's top officials announced today.

On September 11, thousands of innocent lives were lost in an unthinkable tragedy that profoundly changed our nation. On this day of remembrance, we mourn the lives lost, honor the heroism of our first responders, and reflect on the resilience of the American people.

Please stop calling it a "political assassination."Charlie Kirk wasn't elected to anything, and calling it that elevates him to something he wasn't. It was not an assassination. It was a murder.

“We are now 24 years past 9/11—and it’s inevitable that our memory of that shocking event…will grow fainter. Perhaps you’ll take a moment to reflect on your own experience and how the world seemed different—surely less fearful—before the terrible destruction.” www.americaamerica.news/p/memories-o...

AOC: Whether it is a member of congress, whether it is the President to assume and assert and cast blame when the FBI has failed to even apprehend the assailant, is absolutely an irresponsible action.

Thousands of undocumented immigrant workers helped rebuild New York City in the wake of 9/11. 24 years later, they're at risk of deportation as they still struggle with chronic health issues. A pathway to citizenship is the least these workers deserve. documentedny.com/2025/09/11/u...

I'm thinking today of all the victims and their families. I'm thinking of service members, veterans, and our families. I'm thinking of every Muslim American who was persecuted in the days after 9/11 despite their service and love for this country.

24 years later, we remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost on 9/11 and honor the first responders who gave everything that day. We will never forget.

Today, we mourn the memory of those we lost on September 11, 2001. We also come together to honor the brave heroes, like our first responders, who risked their lives that tragic day to save countless others. Their sacrifice can never be repaid. We will never forget.

On this anniversary of 9/11, a reminder that the terrible events of that day set a whole host of devastating long term consequences in motion, fueled in no small measure by subsequent American (mis-)responses. Its tentacles reach into nearly everything that ails us. For a sobering snapshot, see:

Today, on Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance, we honor the 2,977 lives lost on 9/11 and the bravery of first responders. May we always remember the resilience that defines our nation.
