    Now Republicans want to pay down the deficit by cutting Social Security & Medicare! Democrats are never going to let that happen. I’ve got a better idea: rescind the tax cuts for the wealthy and don’t take away benefits that the middle class has earned.

    (Bloomberg) -- Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says the U.S. budget deficit is "disturbing" and spending on entitlement programs must be addressed by both Republicans and Democrats.

    The scale of the opioid epidemic is staggering but numbers don’t tell the whole story. Families like the Zanfagnas who have lost loved ones and are bravely sharing their stories are increasing awareness and helping to destigmatize substance use disorders.
