Pete Buttigieg (@petebuttigieg) Today we learned that in June the US economy lost jobs for the first time since 2020. We haven’t seen this kind of net job loss since - well, since the last time Trump was in charge.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.

For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

"WE'VE ARRANGED A society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces. Who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don't know anything about it?" "Science is more than a body of knowledge, it's a way of thinking. A way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along."

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

She tried to expose Russia’s brutal detention system — and ended up dead A consortium of international journalists continued the work of Viktoriia Roshchyna, who was investigating reports of torture and detention of Ukrainian civilians in occupied Ukraine.

Remember Vicktoriia Roshchyna, Ukrainian journalist.

Huh?

Your Home Without China (Gift Article) We analyzed import data to show where Americans may see product shortages, fewer choices and price increases.

While some products like cars and mattresses are still made in the US, China basically makes most consumer goods we buy in the US, including kitchen appliances, electronics, and personal care items. Things are gonna suck because of Trump's stupid tariffs.

She’s articulate, speaks clearly, to the point and perseveres. Too challenging for many….oh well.

Democrat strategist brutally compares AOC's popularity to ONLYFANS Julian Epstein, former House Judiciary Committee Democratic chief counsel, unleashed the scathing remarks about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez 's popularity.

You could be right.

Unbelievable.
So much for the separation of church and state.

Class credit for serving an LDS mission? The University of Utah will now offer just that. The University of Utah's new credit offer will apply to proselytizing missions for those of all faiths, as well as students who do humanitarian work.

Trump-aligned club for the ultra rich launches in Washington The launch of “Executive Branch” comes as Trump world looks to remake Washington.

Trump sets up a DC club for business people who pay .5M to join and access to his administration. Geez.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.

If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.

Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Wow!
