This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t
RICH GUYS: we are looking HARD and doing RESEARCH on how to END INEQUALITY. but one thing we are SURE of -- that solution is not taxing us. We're sure that is the worst thing.
I think one of the most staggering industry shifts in my 16 years as a tech reporter is that it’s not become a question of “should our product help the government kill and/or surveil people?” but “to what extent?”

GOP: it's not a war. How dare you call it a war! Calling it a war is an insult to the brave troops.
TRUMP: so this war I'm doing, a lotta people are gonna die in a war. You might call it the greatest war in history

Hmmmm
The U.S. spends $100 million PER HOUR on its military budget, and it's running out of bombs so fast that they are about to ask for billions more.
Next time they tell you there's no money for programs that help people instead of kill them, remember that.
$100 million PER HOUR.
I wrote about how Democratic leadership has abandoned the moral high ground on Iran, and how it has left them toothless when opposing Trump.

We've been tracking nearly 200 lawsuits against the Trump administration over its attempts to leverage federal funding to impose the president's agenda.
The most startling pattern: The administration seems entirely undeterred when it loses in court.

As Governor Sherrill prepares to deliver her first budget address, the NJPP research team laid out the benchmarks for how they'll evaluate the FY 2027 budget.

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.
A disturbing and hypocritical ruling on so many levels. Especially the due process holding.
The court JUST said there’s no deeply rooted right for women to control their own bodies. But there is a deeply rooted right for parents to know if their kids question their gender at school? Come on.
Whatever the right mix of policies in which case, the bottom-line is clear. With ambitious yet thoughtful revenue choices, states hold real potential to do a lot of good: to mitigate harm for millions & help lay the foundation for a more prosperous future. www.cbpp.org/research/sta...
New report: States & localities in '26 are facing a one-two punch—fallout from harmful federal actions on one hand & regressive state policies on the other. The path forward? Protecting & raising revenues to mitigate harm & build forward. Here’s how: www.cbpp.org/research/sta...
It's genuinely insane that many of the newspaper columnists who cheered us into the war in Iraq are still employed at big legacy outlets cheering us into a new war with Iran.
the war is unpopular but it's also illegal but it also doesn't serve any purpose but it also undermines diplomacy but it also is set to produce the opposite outcome as intended but it also already has hundreds dead and threatens more but it also will not make anything better for anyone but it also
They don't even bother to manufacturer the consent at this point
The idea of a legislative body representing the population having the ability to check the ultimate power of a country’s leader sounds really neat. Someone should write that down.
The President has launched an unlawful regime change war with Iran, putting American troops at risk.
Congress must return now to vote on the bipartisan War Powers Resolution.
Every member of Congress and candidate must take action to uphold the Constitution.
"why didn't the leader give us a briefing on his illegal war that no one wants????"
In any healthy constitutional order, Congress would impeach and remove the president for an illegal unconstitutional war that usurps their own authority to make war.
Instead we'll be lucky if they don't order him a parade instead
Instead of focusing on expenditures, lawmakers should look at the revenue side of the ledger to balance New Jersey's budget and help fix the structural deficit.
"There are more revenues that can and should be raised,” said NJPP's @ptrchn1.bsky.social.

The Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit are effective programs proven to lift families out of poverty and help them make ends meet.
New Jersey can build on this success and expand these programs to help make the state more affordable.

H.R. 1’s SNAP cuts have already resulted in hundreds of thousands of low-income people losing the food assistance they need to afford groceries. This farm bill proposal would make further misguided policy changes while ignoring the urgent need to address this harm.
