What Kids Told Us About How to Get Them Off Their Phones Children who were raised on screens need more freedom out in the real world.

This is crazy and kind of heartbreaking. In a huge survey of young kids about phones and technology, they all say they want to be out playing in the real world. But parents don't let them out unsupervised. So they're stuck on their phones. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

U.S. job growth turns cold as Trump’s agenda takes its toll on the economy The question for the White House is simple: “If Trump has created a ‘hot’ economy, why has American job growth slowed to a 16-year low?”

Over the first seven months of 2025, the economy has added 597,000 jobs.

Over the first seven months of 2024 — when Trump said the economy was terrible — the total was over 1 million jobs.

Behind the Headlines: How Trump Hijacked Justice From judges to lawyers to media, Trump’s war on justice escalates.

While we’re rightly distracted by Epstein headlines, Trump is torching the rule of law. He’s packed the DOJ with cronies, bullied judges, ignored rulings—and now he’s punishing the press. This isn’t just corruption. It’s authoritarianism in real time.

Ghislaine Maxwell convicted of federal sex trafficking charges for role in Jeffrey Epstein’s abuses The jury weighed evidence from about 30 witnesses over 3 weeks who alleged the British socialite played a pivotal part in recruiting teenage girls for sex with Epstein.

Trump is laying the groundwork for a pardon of Ghislaine Maxwell, pretending that she's a reliable informant on Epstein and not his literal partner-in-crime, so it's probably worth recirculating the facts:

“There is no moral difference between telling people they can have a shower so you can gas them in gas chambers and telling people they can have food so you can shoot them at aid sites. A holocaust is happening right before our eyes and the world is silent.”

The Atlantic Daily: The Administration Wants Military Women to Know Their Place

MSNBC: 300,000 Black women have left the labor force in 3 months. It's not a coincidence.

The Trump administration has a pattern of erasing women from public service. Ask yourself why.

Ivana Trump Recruited Under Age Girls For Epstein

The Fascists Are Trying to Break You, Good People. Don't Let Them. Hey, good human, I wanted to remind you of some things that you might have lost sight of lately:

Good human, remember:
The exhaustion you feel right now?

The scalding rage bubbling just beneath the surface?
This is all by design.
This is intentional.
This is the fascists’ master plan.

Gaza Health Ministry Says Israeli Military Killed 32 Near Aid Site The latest deaths add to U.N. figures showing that more than 670 Palestinians have been killed since May near sites built under a new Israel-backed aid system.

Israeli soldiers opened fire near a food distribution site in southern Gaza on Saturday, killing at least 32 people, Gazan health authorities said. The UN said this past week that more than 670 Palestinians had been killed in similar episodes near aid sites.

These Coldplay concerts are getting out of hand.

Hundreds of powerful men were involved in Epstein’s horrific abuse of underage girls. Years later, the only person in prison is… a woman. Not one wealthy man. Not one politician. Just her. If this is justice, it must be some kind of joke.
