We definitely weren’t designed to cope with all this—our bodies, our nervous systems, our brains. Among all the other dangers these developments represent, they’re simply wearing us out.A lot of us would like politicians to offer, alongside their promises of affordability, even a glimpse of serenity

Trump Administration Prepares to Ask Tax Filers if They Are U.S. Citizens (Gift Article)

The new question, included on a draft version of the primary tax form, comes as part of an anti-immigrant turn at an agency that long prioritized tax administration.

I honestly don't understand how chuckleheads like Comer, Jordan, Schmidt and all the rest fail to consider the downside of holding hearings like this. Why wouldn't they look at the track record over the past two years and ask themselves "Why will this time be different?"

This doesn't surprise me. The lawsuit doesn't challenge the legality of the tax, just the clumsy, haphazard way it has been rolled out. There are several other lawsuits that do challenge the taxes legality. The city filed an appeal in this case almost immediately.

Mister Trump, I served with Jeffrey Dahmer. I knew Jeffrey Dahmer. Jeffrey Dahmer was a friend of mine. Mister Trump, you're no Jeffrey Dahmer. (With apologies to the late Senator Lloyd Bentsen,)

You pay taxes to cover welfare for people who just choose not to work. That's why I launched a welfare-to-work requirement.

If you're young, healthy, and get government assistance, you should work, go to school, or volunteer.

Young right-wing Christian American gamers are some of the most patriotic people in society.

This is tonedeaf and the only reason you did this was because they're the easiest demographic to put down.

The rial has collapsed by around 68% since the resumption of the Hormuz blockade on July 14, to now about 2.5 million rials per US dollar. Iran's oil exports via the Strait of Hormuz have also collapsed. The question to my mind is how much pain is the govern⁴ment willing to inflict on its people,

Congress presses Oracle for answers on VA’s $17 billion EHR increase

WOW!!!! I've never seen a company with revenue in the billions with an 1100% increase in revenue year over year.

Here is the headline: the S-1 shows a business investing for growth, with the first signs of green shoots. Beyond the astonishing headline numbers- an $8bn operating loss for 2025 and a net loss of $42bn (bumped up by an accounting charge)- what do we see?

It is a business whose revenues are growing far faster than its costs. This trend will continue into 2026, when the company will likely turn a profit. We dig into this more here.

Anthropic revenue grew 1,089% as costs rose 276%

INVESTMENTBRIEF.AI

The company is nothing if not ambitious. It has $518bn in compute commitments over 7-10 years. About 80% of these, c $410bn, cannot be cancelled. Assuming Anthropic wants a decent margin, that means a trillion bucks give or take in sales over that period. Big numbers, but Anthropic's annualised revenues will exceed $100bn by the end of 2026.

The rumour mill suggests Anthropic will go public in November.

And yet they're trying to get rid of those international migrants, without whom their counties would dry up and blow away.

According to analysis by The Economist, deaths have begun to outnumber births in reliably Republican U.S. counties for the first time since at least 1982.

Key Findings
• Natural Population Change: Natural change (births minus deaths) in reliably Republican counties has dipped below zero, meaning more people are dying in these areas than are being born.
• Role of Migration: According to The Economist's reporting, overall population growth in these areas is now sustained entirely by domestic and international migration rather than natural increase.
• Broader Trends: The data highlights shifting demographic patterns across politically aligned regions, contrasting with more competitive or Democratic-leaning counties where natural population change has remained positive longer.

How MAGA Inc. raised so much money

Crypto.com donated $35M to Trump, then Trump intervened in a lawsuit on their behalf. A medical supply company donated $5M, then Trump let Medicare cover their products. A tobacco company donated $5M, then Trump green lit their vapes. And the very long list goes on. These are bribes.

popular.info

Since returning to the White House, President Donald Trump, who is constitutionally prohibited from running for president again, has raised over $400 million through his super PAC, MAGA Inc.

$500 and a bottle of McCallan 18 if you can be over by noon. 😂

This seems like a reasonable idea with precedent from Obama’s education department. Every lender everywhere throughout time has considered ability to repay when granting a loan. The government shouldn’t be in the business of encouraging people to take loans they won’t be able to repay.

Trump 'grand conspiracy' case in crisis amid mass exit

This is what happens when the DOJ sets off on a quixotic quest to find a conspiracy that doesn't exist but which the top guy desperately needs to keep his boss happy. Lawyers start quitting to protect their licenses to practice. Kurt Olsen was a Trump 45 election denier and yet he too has now quit.

JVL went to Springfield, Ohio. Here's part of what he saw.

I was only on the ground for a short period of time and it was obvious that there are plenty of people who are happy to see Haitians being criminalized, arrested, and deported.

I picked this up from conversations with people who were polite about it, and from remarks made by people who were less polite about it, including people who were unhappy with us doing a show to benefit the Haitian community.

And in general, the level of support for the Haitian community has been nothing like the mobilization in Minnesota. There are brave and generous volunteers working to help, but they seem to be the minority.

The governor of Ohio has refused to step in-at all-even though his sympathies are obviously with the Haitians. He knows better, but has been cuckolded by his cowardice.

On Saturday, the day after our benefit, Nazis marched through Springfield.

Really. That happened.

Just a reminder that at its narrowest, the distance from the river to the sea is only eight miles. There are 9 million people living in Israel, 6 million Jews and 2 million Arabs. These people treat this chant like they’re at a basketball game.

At AOC's standing-room-only "Students vs. Billionaires" rally in Ithaca, attended by more than 2,000 people, the Cornell Young Democratic Socialists who helped welcome her led the crowd in "From the river to the sea" - and "Long live the student intifada."

AOC did not distance herself from those chants. Instead, when she spoke, she defended students' right to protest over "Palestine."

A reminder: the river is the Jordan. The sea is the Mediterranean. Israel is between them.

A Palestine "from the river to the sea" means no Israel.

The erosion of America's fiscal space has been largely bipartisan. Reforms for greater responsibility will have to be bipartisan too.
