Iowa farmers are desperately trying to tell leaders how difficult the economy has become for small business owners. Instead of listening, Trump blames Democrats for high prices and calls polls showing competitive Congressional races "fake."

Trump says the polls are “fake.” Iowa farmers say they’re “bleeding money.”
As Republicans face competitive midterm races, Iowa farmers sound the alarm over soaring costs.

Heatwaves, wildfires expose a third of world to extreme ozone pollution
Heatwaves and wildfires helped expose 34 percent of the world’s population to “extremely poor” ozone air quality in the first eight months of 2026, according to a European Union report published Wednesday. Asia recorded the highest exposure, while ozone pollution remained difficult to curb despite decades of progress in reducing other harmful emissions.

"Evil" Maybe if the media spent some energy researching articles grounded in fact, not CEO hype, educating about what AI, ML, & LLMs actually are, what they're actually capable of, & their reporters were required to read said factual articles, we'd get way less of this type of dogshit "reporting."
