Cuts to Data Collection May Erode Reliability of Economic Statistics

I want to remind everyone as we discuss the CPI/inflation numbers today, from July 30: "The Bureau of Labor Statistics is reducing or ending the collection of data that is used to calculate the Consumer Price Index." www.nytimes.com/2025/07/30/b...

Child with stage 4 cancer deported by ICE despite being US citizen, lawsuit says Before his deportation, the 4-year-old was receiving “life-saving” treatment in Louisiana, the lawsuit says.

A 4-year-old boy’s ongoing care for stage 4 kidney cancer was interrupted when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers illegally deported him, his sister and mother “without even a semblance of due process.”

Dean Cain and who else?

CNN says the Epstein story is dead based on google searches dropping, as if people need to continually search for the same information, so in order to keep it as a top story OUR job is to type "Epstein files" into google once a day every day.. do it now!
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I couldn't begin to guess 🤬

Here’s last night’s story about immigration enforcement, who’s actually being targeted and arrested by masked police, and what the vibes would be like on Stephen Miller’s OnlyFans page. youtu.be/DfTBhrkae74

$8 billion-dollar company says what?

GOP: the second amendment protects us from tyranny

Also GOP: YAY! Federal troops are being sent to control DC!

GOP: we support the free market!

Also GOP: it’s fine that NVIDIA and AMD are being illegally forced to pay 15% to the government to sell their products in China.

August is National Immunization Awareness Month – a time to remind Illinoisans about the importance of staying up to date on childhood vaccinations.
 
As our classrooms fill up again and children return to school, we must take this safe and effective step to protect their health.

Want to Represent the 27th Ward on the Chicago City Council? Here’s How to Apply Walter Burnett, who represented parts of the West Side and the West Loop for 30 years on the Chicago City Council, retired July 31.

Last spring, those applying to fill the City Council's 35th Ward vacancy needed 5 years in “government or public service."
Now, 27th Ward applicants need only show "their commitment to their community.”
That could make it possible for Walter "Red" Burnett to replace his dad. @wttw.bsky.social

Genuinely incredible that she's saying this with 2 accused rapists on either side of her

STFU, RFK Jr, you ridiculous idiot. You don't care about the wellbeing of patients. You care about politics. You are actively undermining doctors' ability to protect their patients from measles and COVID. Your party forces women who have miscarried to bleed out in parking lots over your politics.

“…if YOU hear anybody talk against anyone else because of his religion, race or national origin — don’t wait: tell him THAT KIND OF TALK IS UN-AMERICAN.”

To think I was starting to worry about the White Sox winning too many games and reducing their chance at the #1 draft pick.

GOP Utah Senate President Slammed After Changing Law To Help Relative Who Raped 13-Year-Old Absolutely horrendous.

This is absolutely horrendous.

“These people.”

And they’ll certainly have camera crews following him as he physically assaults dangerous moms waiting for their children outside schools.

Why you might not know that 2024 was America's safest year since the 1960s An overwhelming majority of Americans, 64 percent, believe that crime increased across the country in 2024, according to a Gallup survey conducted late last year.

1. This week, the FBI released its comprehensive crime report for 2024, which revealed that both VIOLENT CRIME and PROPERTY CRIME reached their LOWEST LEVELS SINCE THE 1960s

This a massive story. But you might not have heard about it, even if you follow the news closely.

Here's why.

Serve your country! Defend your culture!

Just in case it’s not already clear that ICE is a white supremacist thug army, Homeland Security is recruiting with a “defend your culture” slogan.

NEWS: Chris Cuomo deleted a tweet criticizing Democrats after falling for an obvious AI deepfake of AOC delivering a fake rant on the House floor about Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle ad. The video even included a watermark that read: “parody 100% made with AI.”
