Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.

It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.

It corrupts our political system every day.

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year.

In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

Trump has made an estimated $3.4 billion in profit from his presidency.

As he rakes in cash, he’s also picking Americans’ pockets by pushing chaotic tariffs, gutting Medicaid, and giving tax cuts to billionaires and corporations that rip off consumers.

What an abomination.

The gap between teacher pay and other college graduates’ pay is the highest it’s been in over four decades.

Is there a β€œteacher shortage,” or a shortage of jobs that treat educators with the pay, dignity, and support they deserve?

Job growth is slowing to levels not seen since the pandemic.

Inflation is up as more tariffs hit.

Meanwhile, Trump is opening new golf courses, planning for a $200M White House ballroom, and diverting taxpayer dollars to renovate his "free" jet from Qatar.

Corporation For Public Broadcasting To Shut Down Operations After Loss Of Federal Funding The CPB will lay off staffers at the end of September following the loss of federal funding.

As corporate media bows to Trump, public broadcasting has never been more important.

A free press exists to question authority and help the public question it as well.

But authoritarians insist that they must never be questioned.

This is the cost of tyranny. deadline.com/2025/08/corp...

On July 5, as floodwaters were starting to recede, FEMA received 3,027 calls from disaster survivors and answered 3,018, or roughly 99.7 percent, the documents show. Contractors with four call center companies answered the vast majority of the calls.

That evening, however, Ms. Noem did not renew the contracts with the four companies and hundreds of contractors were fired, according to the documents and the person briefed on the matter.

The next day, July 6, FEMA received 2,363 calls and answered 846, or roughly 35.8 percent, according to the documents. And on Monday, July 7, the agency fielded 16,419 calls and answered 2,613, or around 15.9 percent, the documents sho

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

Hurricane Science Was Great While It Lasted The U.S. is hacking away at support for state-of-the-art forecasting.

Just a year ago, the U.S. was better at predicting storms’ tracks than it had ever been. But now, @zoeschlanger.bsky.social reports, the country is rapidly losing state-of-the-art forecasting, just in time for hurricane season’s busiest months:
