In 2017, I was working as a nurse in a TB clinic. I cared for highly contagious patients and helped them through arduous treatments, taking loads of pills with side effects, sometimes against their will. The patients often didn't speak English, so I...

Trump leads Biden by just three points in a new poll in Utah. In both 2016, and in this most recent poll, the Trump vote was less than the democratic plus independant votes combined. Trump’s poor showing in Utah is in line with 2016 when he carried the...

- Idaho once again proved itself as one of the reddest states in the nation this year: As in 2016, it gave Donald Trump his fifth-best margin in the country in November. But without the presence of conservative independent Evan McMullin on the...43 comments 37 Recs
- It has been a bittersweet day for me. It’s great that the Trump’s Reign of Error is about to come to the ignominious end it so richly deserves and America will once again have a sane president. It sucks that McConnell will likely remain in charge of...24 comments 17 Recs
- I know lots if not most if not all of y’all aren’t watching the RNC shit show, but I did, for better or worse, up until the point that DJ junior spoke, at which point my stomach said, “Enough is enough, Nancy!” I listen to my stomach. I watch on MSNBC...129 comments 214 Recs
