Record High: Increasing Number of Americans Putting off Medical Care over Rising CostsAn increasing number of Americans are putting off medical care over rising costs, a Gallup survey released this week found. Not really. I don't trust doctors anymore. They do no research on their own. I'd rather diagnose/treat myself until we get a new batch. They always have. No even though no one wants to die broke which makes little sense.

Most Americans say overturning Roe was politically motivated, NPR/Ipsos poll findsAn NPR/Ipsos poll finds that most Americans say Supreme Court justices are guided more by their politics than the law, and that lawmakers aren't deciding abortion policy based on public sentiment. This is one of those 'ni sh*t sherlock' moments abort hobbs. roe v wade was a bad case law but it was a national consensus. It's clear that corporate elites have far too much influence in shaping our laws and policies. The voices and needs of the public are being ignored in favor of what benefits the wealthy and powerful. We must demand accountability and transparency from our lawmakers and judiciary.

POLL: Most Americans think both Biden and Trump inappropriately handled classified documentsBREAKING: Most Americans think both Biden and Trump inappropriately handled classified documents, but in weighing their severity, a plurality of the public believes Trump's actions were more serious, a new ABC News/Ipsos poll finds. JUST IN: Over three-quarters of the public, 77%, feel that Trump acted inappropriately in the way he handled classified files, while 64%, say the same of Biden. Condemnation expectedly aligns along party lines, new poll finds. NEW: When it comes to the new Congress, this poll finds nearly three-quarters – 72% – of Americans disapprove of how the congressional Republicans are doing their job. Democratic approval is under water too, with 60% disapproving. How can Biden claim he has zero idea of what’s in the classified documents, and yet turn around and say there’s “no there there”. Obviously he could only make that statement if he KNOWS what’s in the classified documents. Unless of course he’s LYING again.
