Despite voters’ dissatisfaction with it, the economy Trump inherited from Biden was actually pretty good: Unemployment was low, and inflation was under control. Now, jobs reports show tariff-driven inflation and a downturn in hiring. trib.al/noba4Hr

I’m kind of speechless with this one. I can’t imagine the kind of person who continues to make the argument that it doesn’t count as real starvation if the kids were already sick.

This is what comes from SCOTUS protecting partisan gerrymandering. Our so-called "representatives" do not respond to their voters, only to their big money donors. Until we have laws or an amendment prohibiting partisan gerrymandering, we will continue to have representation without representation.

Every report I hear about Iran allegedly trying to get nuclear weapons seems to assume that, once obtained, said weapons would be deployed against Israel. But would they? Would they risk a nuclear counter strike? I think it's very likely they would not.

The anti-abortion movement is rallying around new laws that establish fetal 'personhood.' Doctors are scrambling to adjust, but even conservatives don't always agree on how they should be applied.
