When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

Real wages are falling, and have been falling for months.
Line chart titled "Inflation adjusted hourly wages are falling" shows real hourly wages for private sector workers in January 2025 dollars from March 2024 to September 2026. Real wages climbed from $35.38 in March 2024 to a peak of $36.30 in November 2025, then fell to $35.86 by September 2026, eroding most of the inflation-adjusted gains workers had achieved over the prior 20 months.

7 shots fired into an SUV with a 5-year-old child in the back seat as the vehicle was moving away. Markwayne Mullin claims the driver “weaponized” his vehicle. Bullshit! “Weaponized vehicle” has become ICE’s go-to excuse for shooting folks. Where’s the evidence? It’s not in this new footage.
