Joe Biden’s Response to Kamala Harris on Busing Is Going to Haunt His Campaign. He did, in fact, oppose busing in America. He argued against the idea forcefully, as an example of liberal overreach, and evidence of the ways in which reformers had “lost our bearings since the 1954 Brown vs. School Board desegregation case,” as he told one interviewer.

Joe Biden has a long history and a lot of Democrats are just learning about it.

“Don’t meddle in the election, please,” Trump said, jokingly wagging his finger at Putin, as the two leaders appeared before reporters in Japan. “Don’t meddle in the election.”

The Netherlands' state-owned train operator NS announced that it will spend "several tens of millions of euros" to compensate Holocaust survivors for its role in the transportation of thousands of people to concentration camps during the Second World War.

HPV vaccine benefits 'exceed expectations,' may lead to elimination of cervical cancer. A new study suggests that the benefits of the vaccine extend to people who aren't vaccinated — meaning the more people who are vaccinated, the better. Get your kids vaccinated, people.

The US hospitals suing the poor over bills they can't afford. Healthcare is a right, not a privilege.

Health officials warn of hacking risk in certain insulin pumps.

Florida's first clean needle exchange proved so successful that a law expanding the program statewide won support from conservative Republicans.
