Trump officially rolled back fuel efficiency standards today. The new target for 2031 is about 34.5 miles per gallon, down from 50.4. That means more gas burned, more pollution, and more money out of drivers’ pockets. So much for making things affordable.

In March, Washington State passed a tax on millionaires to fund public education, childcare, and expand its earned income tax credit. Now, special interest groups backed by the rich are trying to trick voters into repealing the tax by claiming it will apply to non-millionaires. Don't fall for it.

Washington Taxed Its Millionaires. Now the Rich Want It Repealed.

Washington State voters will get a chance to accept or reject the 9.9 percent income tax on millionaires approved by the Legislature, which broke the state’s taboo against levying income taxes.

Rather quite worried for what I'm hearing coming out of Brazil. They have an upcoming election and - just as with Colombia - there are a lot of reports of potential election interference along with Trump-linked support for the son of the former president and now current rightwing candidate.

Trump's bid to rename "artificial intelligence" to "super intelligence" is a strange thing to platform given everything else his administration has to answer for. Perhaps we the people can lobby for a suggestion of our own; turning the "Epstein files" into "Epstein Trials"?

POLITICO exposed Vice President JD Vance as the leaker behind one of the stories the White House later cited to justify banning the outlet from White House grounds. So either they planted these stories and then used them as an excuse to ban the outlets reporting them, or it’s MAGA targeting MAGA.
