Our openly racist government
This week, the Trump administration released the public-facing version of the long-awaited National Security Strategy document.
The document is a far-right fever dream - and every bit as radical as Zeteo reported it would be.
Our political team explains the NSS: zeteo.com/p/trump-nati...

We're now making the climate problem worse three times faster than at the start of the measurements, around when I was born: between 1959 and 1962, the increase was 2.47 ppm.
These years, we achieve that within one year.

Why is it that some medicre white dude like the Nazi tattoo bearing Graham Platner who has NEVER held public office or done anything to show he knows how to govern, a man with a history of sexist & bigoted comments in contention for a Senate seat?
Why does the press give him a pass?
Makes me sad.

There are so many holes in DHS’s story it’s nuts. They say this woman was driving her boyfriend’s car, who they claim is undocumented.
ICE pulls her over, see she’s alone, know they are looking for a man, and still handcuff her while she screams “I am a US citizen,”.

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.
She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

What did minimum wage get you each decade? In 2025, it buys you nothing but exhaustion.
There’s not a single place in America where a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford even a modest 2-bedroom. Not one. That’s the economy we’re living in. #TrumpAffordabilityCrisis

We've got 2 great stories today in our series about drivers of the affordability crisis.
First up by James Baratta: Electricity rates are set by public utility commissions. But that process has become captured, with corporate utilities pushing through rate hikes and extracting profits.
