Buttigieg on White House: ‘Not getting the leadership that we need to bring this country together’
Well, let’s dive into this, shall we? The crux of the matter seems to be Mayor Pete’s assessment that the current White House isn’t providing the kind of leadership needed to unify the country.

Trump Is Shutting Down the War On Cancer. It’s hard to ignore the pattern. Actions speak louder than words, and the actions of the Trump administration paint a disturbing picture when it comes to cancer research. We’re not talking about subtle shifts in policy; we’re talking about a targeted dismantling of critical infrastructure meant to combat this devastating disease. The scale of the cuts, the personnel changes, and the overall rhetoric create a very clear narrative: Trump is, in effect, shutting down the war on cancer.
The evidence is stark. The administration has slashed hundreds of millions of dollars in cancer-related research grants, claiming these were part of D.E.I.… Continue reading
