Teen models, powerful men and private dinners: when Trump hosted Look of the Year
In the early 90s, Donald Trump judged contestants at the world’s biggest modelling competition - since hit by allegations of abuse. This is how the people who were there remember it

When the expanded child tax credit expired, poverty went up. This was not about the economy, but about the safety net.... These are the facts.
A new Census Bureau report establishes that poverty increased over the course of the Biden administration.
The data is yet another rebuke to the politicians and commentators who insisted economic conditions under Joe Biden were great.

Check out Justice Eddins’ complete repudiation of the Roberts Court here. It’s worth reading in full. It’s quite brave—and exceedingly rare—for a sitting judge to speak so candidly and scathingly about SCOTUS’ partisan contortions of law, history, and fact.

Excellent analysis of the differing approaches by Newsom and Pritzker, reaching different audiences in different ways:
“This is about confronting Trump in a way that undercuts his basis of power, even while embarrassing the press of all stripes to stop normalizing Trump’s authoritarianism”

We won’t notice it at first
Maybe an outbreak of cholera in southwest Kansas goes undetected
Perhaps the number of flu related deaths ticks up just a bit each year
But-ultimately, inexorably-the destruction of the CDC will lead to countless deaths

Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the ‘tough on crime’ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison ‘or else’?

How about we raise the minimum wage to $25/hour @mcuban.bsky.social . Corporate taxes are already so low that companies have no incentive to invest.
