"The U.S. dollar will weaken steadily over the coming months on mounting concerns over the Federal Reserve's independence, the credibility of official statistics, ballooning fiscal debt and rising bets on interest rate cuts, a Reuters survey of foreign exchange analysts showed on Tuesday." - Reuters

Stop scrolling.

If you didn't see @maddow.msnbc.com last night, please go find it & watch it.

We are living under authoritarianism.

We must face that fact & resolve to do everything we can to mobilize everyone we know to oppose this evil.

Speak out, Volunteer, Register Voters!
If not you, who?

The VISIBLE Act would ban
ICE agents from hiding their faces and require them to wear visible identification.
Congress must pass it.

We are already an authoritarian country. Weโ€™re not working to prevent it; weโ€™re now workingโ€ฆto get out of it.

ILLINOIS GOV. J.B. PRITZKER (D): "If they're gonna cheat, then all of us have to take a hard look at what the effect of that cheating is on democracy . And that means we've all got to stand up and do the right thing. So as far as I'm concerned, everything is on the table."

The President of the United States went on CNBC today and said: He won the 2020 election (he didnโ€™t). He has a 71% approval rating (he doesnโ€™t). The jobs numbers were rigged (they werenโ€™t).

I could say something funny here, but I wonโ€™t. Itโ€™s just so damn dangerous to have him in the White House.

Top medical organizations kicked out of CDC vaccine recommendations process call decision "dangerous" The nation's top medical organizations are speaking out after U.S. health officials told them they will no longer help establish vaccination recommendations.

For decades, trusted experts from organizations like the American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics have played a vital role in helping the CDC set vaccine recommendations.

Iโ€™m Not panicking. Iโ€™m Outraged. Read more here.

I have been the subject of many spurious accusations and politically motivated attacks, but this one is in a class by itself. According to Tulsi Gabbard โ€” the nationโ€™s top intelligence official โ€” my refusal to post on Twitter is being reviewed by the Department of Justice as evidence of wrongdoing.

Virtually zero legacy media coverage of this statement. A couple of stories, thatโ€™s about it. The lies and insane statements have become completely normalized and are largely ignored now by Big Media.

Trump fires commissioner of labor statistics after weaker-than-expected jobs figures slam markets Trump accused BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer of being a political appointee who was manipulating jobs data.

Donald Trump just fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because she stated the facts. And the facts show his policies are a disaster for the American economy.

Trump said heโ€™d be a dictator on day one and thatโ€™s just what heโ€™s acting like. www.cnbc.com/2025/08/01/t...

We are losing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which has helped educate, inform, and entertain millions of Americans.

Instead, weโ€™re getting a vulgar new gold ballroom, which none of us will ever see.
