Why Do So Many People Think Trump Is Good? The work of the moral philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre helps illuminate some central questions of our time.

Over the past 30 years, people have tried to fill the hole in their soul through their political identities. And when you do that, politics begins to permeate everything and turns into a holy war in which compromise begins to seem like betrayal. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The Myth of the Gen Z Red Wave The best available evidence suggests that the youth-vote shift in 2024 was more a one-off event than an ideological realignment.

As a gerontologist that explores generations and their impact in the workplace, community and culture, I found this article very interesting. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

If you have ever wondered if your calls, emails and town hall engagements matter, here is the proof! That does not mean the crisis is over or that we can stop the pressure, but for now the Older Americans Act programs are safe and that’s the win for the day!

Statement on the Elimination of the Administration for Community Living (ACL) - Justice in Aging The Department of Health and Human Services' plan to dramatically reduce its workforce and shutter critical agencies will lead to worse outcomes for older adults

This is where the funding for the majority of my work comes from. They want to abolish the agencies that support older Americans and people with disabilities, some of the most vulnerable among us. Keep your calls and letters to your elected officials coming.

House GOP pushes 'big' budget resolution to passage, a crucial step toward delivering Trump's agenda The vote is a crucial step toward delivering what Trump called his “big, beautiful bill,” with $4.5 trillion in tax breaks and $2 trillion in spending cuts.

Thankfully next steps are long and cumbersome before anything can become law — weeks of committee hearings to draft the details and send the House version to the Senate apnews.com/article/john...

IRS layoffs could hurt revenue collection and foil efforts to go after rich tax dodgers, experts say Experts say the layoffs of roughly 7,000 IRS probationary workers likely mean the end of the agency’s plans to go after high-wealth tax dodgers and could spell disaster for revenue collections.

Isn’t this the whole point? Wellnmaybe not the whole point but stopping action against the rich is a big part of the agenda isn’t it? apnews.com/article/irs-...
