One glaring hole in Democrats' drug pricing outline: It says that drug companies that refuse to negotiate with Medicare will be subject to a tax. But they don't say what that tax will be.

If the penalty isn't large enough, drugmakers simply won't comply.

The GOP has now pulled ahead in all of Pennsylvania's statewide judicial elections. The Supreme Court seat remains tight with a bit to go; it'd be a GOP hold, should they win.

In D/R races, the best results Dems could get tonight at this point (besides defending the New Jersey trifecta) would be gaining a seat on Pennsylvania's Supreme Court & flipping Pennsylvania's Superior Court. For now, they lead in both races but a long way to go.

Progressive wins incoming in mayoral elections?

Michelle Wu has a large lead in Boston so far. As does Justin Bibb in Cleveland.

Both above 60% so far, but a long way to go.

Thousands of facilities that are considered large sources of toxic air pollution submit yearly reports on chemical emissions.

But the EPA has never released this data in a way that allows the public to understand the risks.

So we did.

I'm not saying much about VA since it's covered well by others... but as I suspect you all know by now the GOP is doing quite well there in county after county.

The deadly heat wave that roasted the Pacific Northwest and western Canada was virtually impossible without human-caused climate change that added a few extra degrees to the record-smashing temperatures, a new scientific analysis found.

The federal government’s pandemic-era eviction moratorium has been extended to July 31. But individual judges will still decide whether to uphold it.

Personally, I believe all medical personnel should be required to be fully vaccinated in order to work and keep their licenses and jobs.

Federal Courts support businesses to mandate all employees to be vaccinated. Hospitals are in the business of saving lives and cannot accomplish it unless all medical staff are fully vaccinated.
