I sat down with Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, presiding over the city's lowest homicide numbers in 60 years—a story corporate media has largely ignored. The throughline of Johnson's tenure: safety comes from investment, not intimidation, and moral clarity doesn't wait for permission. Tune in now.

This is the coverage of Arday **just in the Telegraph** in the UK. This is only the first four pages of results, just in one outlet.

Apple: ~$2.2 billion Nike: $986 million FedEx: ~$800 million Amazon: $640 million General Motors: $500 million Giant corporations are raking in millions in tariff refunds and getting even richer. But remember: corporations passed tariff costs on to you. Where's YOUR refund?

Put a sociopath in the White House and he’ll not think twice about using his own staff and other humans as decoys/potential collateral damage when he learns that HIS safety could be at risk if he flies on the ill-equipped Qatari bribe/lux AIr Force One. Not surprising, but utterly disgusting.

Mark your calendars: August 13 at 1 p.m. ET. The public can call in and listen as a federal court holds a hearing over the Justice Department’s compliance with court orders involving the Epstein files.

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

By supporting Republican Mike Rogers, AIPAC is supporting ICE atrocities, the end of birthright citizenship, explosive diarrhea, anti-trans attacks, criminalizing abortion, white supremacy, and every single other evil Trump policy. That's who they are and what they support.

AIPAC is the biggest source of Republican money in Democratic elections, and now they are making clear they will spend even more to defeat Democrats in November. They advocate for policies the vast majority of Democrats viscerally disagree with. No Democrat should be taking money from AIPAC.

A historically corrupt and incompetent government - White House, Senate and Congress - was elected under the watch of centrist Dems. And they’re lecturing us about electability?

A 60 Minutes probe into Epstein's banking, with Wyden already interviewed, vanished right after Sharyn Alfonsi got pushed out under Bari Weiss. Wyden released a sweeping Senate report alleging several of the largest banks of having “been willing to turn a blind eye” to Epstein’s financial activity.

FYI there is no "real" reason why Rome "fell." Its power waned for the usual, mundane reasons: widening gap between rich and poor, inability to maintain infrastructure, incompetent leadership, pointless wars, endless persecution of marginalized groups who performed vital labor, etc.

After these six House Democrats betrayed their constituents by voting with Republicans, we now need to turn up the pressure on the Senate. Email your senators and demand they reject right-wing plans to hand over our military decisions and data to Netanyahu: act.indivisible.org/sign/tell-yo...

Eldercare is hard work, severely underpaid that was already understaffed. Since Medicaid is "the primary payer" of this work, it's unlikely there will be a huge increase in wages to attract non-immigrant workers. Are Americans prepared to quit their jobs to take care of their elders? Many have.

I took a hard look at the financial donors to ICE’s biggest supporters in Congress. These are people who want to significantly expand ICE’s power and have sponsored or co-sponsored legislation to do so. Here are the top 25 consumer brands bankrolling the biggest ICE supporters in Congress:

Pathetic and shameful move by the third-rate president of my grad school alma mater. I appreciate this reporter pointing out that the same institution awarded the third-rate president tenure despite never having taught a class or done any research.
