John Muryell

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Across the nation, millions of Americans took to the streets in protest against executive overreach, but the White House swiftly dismissed the movement as a “complete and utter failure.” Yet the reality tells a different story—one of resistance, determination, and an unwavering commitment to democracy. Over 5 million protesters in more than 2,100 demonstrations stood together, demanding stronger protections for democracy. White House communications director Steven Cheung falsely claimed that turnout was “minuscule” compared to Trump’s military parade, attempting to rewrite history and diminish the voice of the people. The administration doubled down, accusing demonstrators of “supporting … Continue reading The Fight for Freedom Won’t Wait—Stand Up, Speak Out

The Public Health Gamble: How Thom Tillis and RFK Jr. Put Lives at Risk

John Muryell

Summary Thom Tillis’s confirmation vote enabled Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s dangerous health policies, prioritizing cost-cutting over public safety. Kennedy’s leadership at the Department of Health and Human Services has led to reckless decisions, including promoting Vitamin A as a measles treatment, appointing unqualified individuals, and firing CDC vaccine advisory board members, weakening disease prevention efforts. Tillis’s vote gave Kennedy the power to implement these misguided policies, with consequences that will continue unless leaders prioritize medical expertise over financial convenience. Trump’s Risky Health Pick: How RFK Jr.’s Policies Are Endangering Public Safety When President Donald Trump appointed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. … Continue reading The Public Health Gamble: How Thom Tillis and RFK Jr. Put Lives at Risk

The Musk-Trump Cover-Up: What Are They Hiding?

John Muryell

Washington, D.C. — The Trump administration’s push to block the release of Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) records has sparked intense speculation that the White House is actively concealing Elon Musk’s continued influence in federal policy-making. While Musk publicly claims he has stepped away, the facts tell a different story—one in which he quietly directs government decisions while avoiding scrutiny. Musk’s fingerprints are all over DOGE’s operations, yet Trump has completely stopped mentioning him, a stark contrast to his previous praise. Could this silence be an attempt to protect Musk from political backlash while still allowing him access to government … Continue reading The Musk-Trump Cover-Up: What Are They Hiding?

Trump and the GOP’s Budget Plan: Tax Breaks for the Wealthy, Medicaid Cuts for the Vulnerable

John Muryell

Donald Trump and Republican leaders are pushing for 880 billion in Medicaid cuts, a move that could drastically alter healthcare access for millions of Americans. While they argue that the bill’s trillions in tax cuts will encourage investment, increase disposable income, and stimulate job creation, critics warn that these cuts could cripple healthcare services, deepen financial hardship for vulnerable populations, and lead to widespread hospital closures. Medicaid provides healthcare coverage for more than 70 million Americans, including low-income families, seniors, children, and people with disabilities. The proposed cuts could result in millions losing coverage, particularly those earning below $30,000 annually. … Continue reading Trump and the GOP’s Budget Plan: Tax Breaks for the Wealthy, Medicaid Cuts for the Vulnerable
