Billions in Taxpayer Dollars Have Become Virtually Untraceable
The Trump administration’s aggressive approach to overhauling the executive branch has obscured how federal dollars are actually being spent — even for the members of Congress.

Record wildfire smoke kills more people each year than car crashes. It’s about to get worse.
The past six summers have been the smokiest on record. New research shows that smoke could become the costliest consequence of climate change for Americans.

Why? Because someone shot a clerk for the judge who presided over the original trial, and the judge believes the shooter is in a gang that's connected to one of the cops.

If you feel like there’s nothing you can do to stop all of this, start by refusing to participate in fascist demands. And don’t ever justify the behaviors of people who capitulate.
They can’t do any of this without cooperation. The main thing most people need to do is just refuse that cooperation.
