Trump keeps saying that a 1929-style Great Depression is likely during the second half of his term. Quite the midterm message.

It has been 118 years since the Supreme Court ruled the federal government owes tribes water, but Native American communities in northern Arizona are still fighting for their rights to the Colorado River. (Published June)

Native American Tribes Came Together to Secure Their Rights to Colorado River Water. Four States Are Stalling the Deal.
Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming are resisting the deal because it would allow the Navajo and Hopi to lease water to cities downstream, likely the growing towns around Phoenix.

With this monopolized media empire comes not just size but unprecedented power. The power to throw workers under the bus. The power to price-gouge because consumers have few alternatives. The power to decide which stories get told, but more importantly, which stories DON'T get told.

Trump’s tomato tariffs could be coming for your free chips and salsa. A 17% tariff on Mexican tomatoes has sent tomato prices soaring. Restaurants say the added costs are getting harder to absorb, and some are considering charging for salsa instead of putting it on the table for free.

I’m disgusted by today’s press coverage, which mostly just regurgitates the DOJ press release. The story should be that a) they indicted the guy who got shot, not the guy who shot him and b) previous attempts by ICE to blame shooting victims have all been lies, so no reason to believe this. Shame.
