Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?
It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.
It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

New revelations show that Jeffrey Epstein’s interests extended far beyond money and sex with underage girls. Epstein used his influence to push aggressive solutions to geopolitical problems, particularly against America’s and Israel’s traditional adversaries.

I’m accused of politicizing Pope Leo. But here’s the truth: my newsletter is simply illuminating what the pope has said and done.
He’s the leading moral bulwark against MAGA authoritarianism.
We stand with Leo. We will defeat Trump.

Inside the Trump family’s global crypto cash machine
The U.S. president’s family raked in more than $800 million from sales of crypto assets in the first half of 2025 alone, a Reuters examination found, on top of potentially billions more in unrealized “on paper” gains. Much of that cash came from foreign sources as Donald Trump's sons touted their business on an international investor roadshow.
