The depths of their cynicism is sickening.
"A Republican super PAC is running ads invoking the name of Ruth Bader Ginsburg to help Donald Trump win voters who favor abortion rights."

Billionaire legal activist Leonard Leo has had a role in placing all six conservative justices on the SCOTUS, and so therefore is in large part responsible for the overturning of Roe V Wade.

This is why the right doesn't want journalists doing their job.

A group of anti-lockdown (and mostly anti-vax) contrarians recently met at Stanford to make sure businesses never close again.
Was the science of pandemics repeatedly confused with corporate interests? You bet.

Laurie Garrett identified the dissolution of trust in public health in a 2001 book. While she couldn't have foreseen the scourge of health misinformation on social media, her book identifies key issues we continue to grapple with.
