President Joe Biden will not be attaching his signature to the $1,400 relief checks that are expected to be mailed soon - a break with his predecessor who last year had "President Donald J. Trump" printed on the economic impact payments approved by Congress.

Usually, lung cancer is diagnosed too late for a good chance at survival. But some Americans who are at especially high risk get an annual low-dose CT scan, a type of X-ray, to...
WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden wants America to know that he's from the government and he's here to help.

Democrat Bill Clinton declared the era of big government over in the 1990s, Barack Obama largely kept his party in the same lane and Republican Donald Trump campaigned on the premise that Washington was full of morons, outplayed by the Chinese and others. But Biden is...

Another egregious betrayal of Indigenous people's rights and a cynical betrayal of the U.S. legal process are currently taking place in northern Minnesota over Enbridge Energy's Line 3 oil pipeline out of Alberta, Canada. The line will carry what's known as tar sands oil - the dirtiest, most polluting and most expensive-to-extract oil anywhere on the planet. It also is nearly impossible to clean up because it sinks to the bottom of waterways. Already, nearly 150 people (aka "Water Protectors")...
