My parents were free-wheeling Boomers convinced things were only ever going to get better, financially. They had good reason, then. They could afford a house, car, and weekly nights out on two full time assistant manager jobs at a fast food chain. But they also got caught up in emulating wealth trap

Trump pardoned a Honduran drug lord who helped move TONS of cocaine into the U.S.

Trump does not care about being tough on crime, stopping drug trafficking, or keeping Americans safe.

This is corrupt beyond belief, and EVERYONE should call it out.

Pope Leo XIV just did what almost no one in power will do: he told tech giants that AI built for profit alone is a threat to human dignity.

This isn’t anti-technology.

It’s a demand that the most powerful machines on earth answer to something higher than the market.
Pope Leo: AI Must Serve Humanity — Not Just the Powerful Few
In a message to tech leaders, Leo insists that artificial intelligence be guided by ethics and serve the common good. It’s one of his major theme — one that’s earned him ridicule from Silicon Valley.

Trump said last year that he would focus on deporting immigrants who were violent criminals. But a study of arrests in major operations in DC, LA, Illinois and Massachusetts shows that the vast majority of those swept up by ICE have no criminal record.

Jerry is the best. This is lovely. They did such an excellent job filling out his character as the seasons progressed. Jerry really fucking ruled and was a real ass kind and insightful guy and it never felt out of place that he was married to Christie Brinkley
Jerry/Gary Gergich is a Stoic sage and this is the most positive model of masculinity I can think of

As a daughter of immigrants, witnessing Father Gary’s pilgrimage reach its end was truly inspiring. His walk honors the sacrifices, and echoes the hopes and fears of so many immigrant families.

Thank you, Father Gary, for carrying our voices, and for reminding the country that immigrants belong.
Father Gary Graf’s 800-mile walk from Dolton, Illinois to the Statue of Liberty ended this week, but the mission he carried with him is far from over.

His message to all of us: "It is time to step up. It is time to speak out."

Great reporting and a knockout final line:

“Not long after, as the sun was going down, an SUV with tinted windows and an out-of-state license plate was seen barreling down a nearby street. It was followed closely by three cars, with drivers laying on their horns and whistling.”

1: Trump slaps tariffs on Australia, despite U.S. having a trade surplus with the country.
2: Countries get scared away from US assets, buy gold.
3: Australia is one of the top gold exporters.
4: U.S. trade surplus with Australia sinks to lowest level in 20 years because gold sales to U.S. grow 10x

China’s epochal rise was the driver of Australia’s first resource boom, in 2025 President Trump has engineered something almost as astounding.

i mean they’re dismantling rural economies. i don’t actually think you can argue with a straight face that flyover country would be more willing to get out and vote against a candidate who says they want to crush flyover country because it’s deplorable than anyone else.
coming around on the idea that the easiest voters to peel off GOP coalition are just the ones that crave the boot. promise to step on them just as much as the GOP will and they'll gladly take it, because then they get to pretend to hate it cuz its Ds doing it

they hate freedom! we can exploit that.
the meaner I am to people on the right, the more they kinda like me

Yup. The only way to understand them is they've been pickled in Fox News.
My theory, fwiw, is that Supreme Court Justices are not immune to Twitter brain poisoning. I suspect all six have horrific information environments and have therefore lost the ability to understand the people who don't agree with them.
The part that I can't figure out is what John Roberts thinks he is doing. He used to seem to be a judge who was very attentive to appearances, I think on a theory that you can't draw too much attention to yourself without undermining your ability to continue to shape the law.
