From a book I’m reading “nation on the take”: “when the wealthy support a policy idea, it has a 45 percent chance of becoming law. When the wealthy oppose a given measure, even if it has majority support among the general public, its probability of becoming a law is 18 percent.”

The average monthly cost of child care or tuition reached $917.92 per month in July 2026. That’s up from $879.59 in January 2025. Trump reversed his campaign promise earlier this year when he said, “We can’t take care of day care,” citing the cost of waging wars.

Trump took credit but a Biden-era policy that requires Medicare to negotiate prices for some popular prescription drugs is more likely to be driving down costs.

The only trait that consistently predicted objections to remote work was narcissism — the tendency to be self-centered and entitled. The higher the opinions of themselves leaders expressed, the more they coveted power and status — and the more they favored return-to-office mandates.

Trump's vague Iran deal text omits missile and proxy limits, relying on early concessions. Despite past criticisms of Obama, Trump backs a $300B fund that dwarf past relief. This occurs as a militarily weakened Iran holds advanced nuclear knowledge, bypassing inspectors for years.

The Trump administration's exit from global anti-tax-dodging efforts has saved US firms over $40B since 2025. A NYT review shows nearly 500 companies shifted billions in profits to tax havens like Bermuda and the Cayman Islands, often through shell subsidiaries lacking offices, staff, or sales.

Every single worker in the European Union is guaranteed four weeks of paid vacation. No matter how long they’ve been at a company. No matter how low paying the job is. Vacation is a right. In fact, all but one of the richest countries in the world guarantees paid vacation, except: the U.S. 1/2

The Supreme Court does it again. Race-based criteria that benefits whites, a-okay; but using race-based criteria for any other purpose or to benefit any other community, that’s unconstitutional. Jim Crow and pre-Civil War rises again.

Justice Thomas’ statement should be shocking: the Court should never have interpreted §2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to effectively give racial groups “an entitlement to roughly proportional representation.” The Roberts court is systemically burying the Civil War Amendments by raw judicial fiat

One study from Benjamin Couillard, a doctoral candidate in economics at the University of Toronto, found that since the 1990s, rising housing costs have played a major role in the drop in birthrates.

Economic growth is overwhelmingly driven by data centers. In the first half of this year, 92% of the increase in demand in our economy originated from just two relatively small components that are huge parts of data centers: information processing systems and software.
