I have a pair of brown pants that I've had for a few years now, and up until about 20 minutes ago I never realized why I feel powerful and stupid when I pull them on.

We're debating on the government funding package right now and every single Republican voted against a Democratic amendment to pass a clean, one-year extension of the ACA tax credits.

Globalization in the Developing World—Lessons from My Travels in Guatemala
Smart modern aid programs (many of which were once supported by USAID) recognize that small farmers in the developing world can be empowered to join the free market. Guatemala's sugar & coffee industries are good examples:

Yet one more example of an industry impacted by climate change:
England's hottest summer on record produced unusually sweet apples, which bumped up the alcohol content of scrumpy (hard cider). Now, it's classified as “wine”...taxed at a higher rate...and too expensive for producers to sell to pubs.

Based on some of my conversations with veteran groups about the culture of military sexual violence under Hegseth, this feels deeply concerning.
Hegseth: "You should not pay for an earnest mistake for your entire career. That's why today, at my direction, we're making changes to the retention of adverse information on personnel records."
