Did you know a lazy eye (amblyopia) is more common in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Studies have found that individuals with ASD are more prone to strabismus (eye turn) and amblyopia compared to those without ASD.

Renaming Veteran’s Day and the planned “Trump Military Parade” is a playbook straight out of North Korea. Draft-dodging Trump is now flexing the might of the US Military, but its not for our enemies to fear. It’s for you. The administration wants you to fear their Dear Leader.

I could be wrong about this but I really think most Americans do not want to be forced to “do their own research” about food & drug & product safety and would rather that the government agencies that have been sorting that all out for them for decades not be obliterated in the name of “efficiency.”

Trump signed an executive order that will delay Medicare price negotiations for a range of prescription drugs. This will raise the price of life-saving medicine for millions of seniors and cost taxpayers money. It's a big win for Big Pharma. A "new Golden Age" for whom?

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.
