Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

The CDC is gutting a program that monitors foodborne illnesses. The program will now only track infections caused by two pathogens, rather than eight. Hello? How does this “Make America Healthy Again”?

The CDC quietly scaled back a surveillance program for foodborne illnesses

As of July 1, a critical surveillance program is monitoring for only two pathogens instead of the usual eight.

70 years ago today, Emmett Till was lynched by white supremacists. Here in Illinois, we promise to never hide from our history — no matter how painful the chapter. We honor his memory and his brave mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, by continuing the fight for civil rights and justice.

We’re going to go on a rant for a minute, and yes we’re bringing some history with us. Back in 1755, Benjamin Franklin wrote words that still echo today: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

If you have time to read just one longer piece today, make it this. Graff is right that the country really is different as of today. We can see serious resistance starting to form—Gov. Pritzker’s speech today was huge—but we have crossed a boundary.

This morning, ICE rolled into a Home Depot parking lot using a moving truck loaded w/agents, like a Trojan horse, to snatch up Latino workers. Whoever they could find. No idea if they were undocumented or not. That’s not enforcement. That’s racial profiling, and violates a standing court order.

Grocery stores that have been eating the cost of tariffs are about to pump the brakes. Some are looking to be more transparent about the coming price hikes. Starting tomorrow, new tariffs of 15% to 50% hit a wide range of food items. If you’ve got a household food budget, this is a must-watch.

They took away abortion and criminalized miscarriages, so people stopped trying to have children. The pregnancy rate dropped. There are now not enough new births to replace the workforce in the United States. And it’s still dropping as more people are choosing abstinence. /

I think people are misinterpreting this wonky headline. The bombshell story CBS is reporting is that the Epstein jail tape the public got IS missing time and the FULL video exists. The FBI and DOJ have it. So when Bondi said the missing minute is normal, she lied. www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey...

There was no "missing minute" in the original Epstein jail video, government source says

FBI officials promised raw, unaltered video to quell speculation about Epstein's suicide.

I don't think most Americans realize how hard tariffs are about to hit them. The combination of 1) escalating tariffs, 2) companies slowly passing the cost to consumers, and 3) the repeal of the de minimis exemption in the Big Beautiful Bill, a lot stuff will be more expensive in 2027.
