How will U.S. soldiers reckon with Trump’s wars of vanity? The answer will shape America for generations For U.S. military members, war can give meaning to their service. But the unpopular, unauthorized one that’s now under way in Iran will wreak mortal and moral damage

The Pentagon’s Lawyers Are Now Under Review A new Hegseth initiative could consolidate the ranks of JAGs, targeting those who act as legal guardrails.

“JAGs serve a vital oversight function on issues such as whether drone strikes are aimed at legally justified targets and whether to prosecute adultery.”

Incredible from Sarah Fitzpatrick and Missy Ryan

The Billion-Dollar AI Startup That Was Founded by Teenagers The team behind Aaru is attracting brands including McDonald’s and EY by betting AI bots can predict human behavior better than humans can.

"Fink and Koh met on the first day of freshman year at Lake Forest Academy in the Chicago suburbs. They bonded over cross-country running and a shared mischievous streak that involved trying to hack their school’s Wi-Fi to avoid submitting homework."

Why? Why must this puffery always read the same?

Also, I’m old too and I have learned that with age does come wisdom. Just b/c someone is older doesn’t mean they don’t care, the same as believing that b/c someone is younger that they care more. That’s absurd. If someone can do the job, is of sound mind and body and they get elected, 🤷🏻‍♀️

You’ve missed the point. A lot of us vote consistently, however, that is only roughly 50 ish percent of all eligible voters. Younger ppl don’t, in fact, vote consistently as a group but they are very loud about how they hate older candidates. If they want to change it, then there’s only one way.

War With Iran Puts Further Strain on America’s Pessimistic Farmers Nearly 75 percent of farmers surveyed before the war said the crop sector was in a recession. They face bigger hurdles this planting season.

Even before the war in Iran raised fertilizer & diesel costs, a majority of American farmers said they were "much worse off" or "somewhat worse off" than one year ago. Their biggest concern was the high cost of the essentials needed to plant their crops.

Opinion | I Went to Florida to See the 31-Year-Old Candidate Thrilling Gen Z. We’re in Trouble.

In December, the conservative Manhattan Institute found that 31 % of Republicans under 50 identify their own views as racist, and 25 % say their views are antisemitic. The same survey showed that a majority of Republican men under 50 think that the Holocaust either didn’t happen or was exaggerated.

Bill targeting ‘terrorist’ groups, ‘sharia’ law heads to DeSantis’ desk Florida could soon designate domestic “terrorist” groups and punish those affiliated with them, a move that critics say is unconstitutional and unfairly targets Muslims.

Legislation that would allow Florida leaders to designate domestic “terrorist” groups is headed to Gov. Ron DeSantis’ desk, even as critics say it unfairly targets Muslims.

Trump Wants to ‘Take Over’ Elections. These States Are Prime Targets.

The FBI’s recent raid into a Georgia elections office isn’t about election integrity; it’s about relitigating the results of an election that was free, fair, and secure.

Fund the Eviction Prevention Program and keep Maine kids at home | Opinion Legislators have a choice in this year's budget: invest in solutions that keep families together or let high rents drive them into crisis.

"For families, evictions mean empty savings, disrupted jobs and education, and sometimes living in shelters, cars or overcrowded living situations. Children lose their schools, routines and communities, the very things that help them feel safe and learn... (1/2)

My Year as a Degenerate Sports Gambler Practically overnight, America made wagering on a game as frictionless as checking the weather. I was determined to understand the consequences—for my country, and for myself.

Something about a sucker and his money parting ways...

<<Since 2018, Americans have wagered more than half a trillion dollars on sports, and roughly half of men ages 18 to 49 have an active account with an online sportsbook.>>

Our obsession with a “quick buck” is destroying us...
