Democrat moves to oust RFK Jr. from Trump's Cabinet

As it turns out, lawmakers and federal workers aren't a fan of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s leadership at the Department of Health and Human Services. Not only does the HHS secretary have a line of people calling for him to resign, including his own staffers, but he is also now facing impeachment as well.  On Wednesday, Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens of Michigan filed articles of impeachment against the brain-wormed politician, saying he has undermined public health. And that's hard to argue against. He has promoted fringe views from falsely saying Tylenol causes autism to ripping a health monitoring program away from coal miners.

Texas GOP turns schools into indoctrination machines

Showing that he's always laser-focused on what really matters, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has ordered all high schools to have a Turning Point USA chapter called "Club America."

And, yes, Texas is hiring uncertified teachers and closing schools. It's also true that 73% of Texas schools are underfunded. But surely turning every school into a shrine to Charlie Kirk will fix it.

How the unprecedented redistricting war is harming election officials, politicians, and voters

In recent weeks, redistricting has wreaked havoc in Texas, Indiana, and North Carolina. By Nathaniel Rakich for Votebeat The redrawing of states' congressional districts typically happens only once per decade, following the release of new U.S. Census data. But we're now up to six states that have enacted new congressional maps for the 2026 midterms; that's more than in any election cycle not immediately following a census since 1983-84. Even more are expected to join the fray before voters head to the polls next year. Ultimately, more than a third of districts nationwide could be redrawn, threatening to confuse and disenfranchise voters.
