Two-thirds of National Park Service employees have been furloughed during the ongoing government shutdown, worsening an already severe staffing shortage. With limited personnel remaining, essential maintenance, law enforcement, and visitor services are significantly reduced.

Why your health insurance may soon cost a lot more Millions will be paying substantially more for health insurance next year, according to multiple surveys. Insurers cited tariffs and demand for obesity drugs.

β€œHealth insurance costs in the United States are on track for their biggest jump in at least five years…

β€œFor the 24 million enrollees of Affordable Care Act insurance plans, costs are expected to rise by more than 75 percent next year…”

BARKIN: β€œ.. we’re not walking into a 2022 situation where consumers are flush with cash and bound to spend. .. I think we’re in a 2025 situation where consumers are feeling somewhat stretched and therefore, you know, are making choices.”

Inside the US Government's Unpublished Report on AI Safety The National Institute of Standards and Technology conducted a groundbreaking study on frontier models just before Donald Trump's second term as presidentβ€”and never published the results.

Something tells me that a U.S. Government that is shooting down its own Climate Change satellites is pretty unlikely to let this Report on AI see the light of day! 🀨

They’ll just work with big tech to shove AI down our throats, come what may!

Quick question. There are still almost as many troops in LA right now as there were at the end of Afghanistan.

Why exactly?

Also where are the mass deportations of white illegals, like from Russia?

Start Budgeting Now Households will pay an average of $2,400 more for goods this year, thanks to Trump’s policies.

Businesses will run out of stockpiled inventory by the end of summer, after which consumers will be hit with the tariff-impacted new inventory and prices will rise. #MomSky

EVERYBODY WATCH.

ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL.

West Coast port officials: Not a single cargo vessel has left China with goods for the two major West Coast ports in the past 12 hours. That hasn’t happened since the pandemic.

Six days ago, 41 vessels were scheduled to depart China for the San Pedro Bay Complex. On Friday, it was zero.

This is going to raise prices at the grocery store. There’s no question about it. Arizona businesses and shoppers will be harmed because this administration cares more about the profit margins of billionaires instead of lowering costs.
