Human waste backing up in basements is a gut-churning sign of US infrastructure problems A major sewer pipe collapse has dumped hundreds of millions of gallons of sewage into the Potomac River, highlighting a nationwide problem involving failing infrastructure.

At least 18.7 million people are served by one of roughly 1,000 utilities that are in serious violation of pollution limits. At least 2.7 million live with a system that violated federal clean water rules over the last three years, according to an Associated Press analysis of federal data.

Identity theft. I experienced it last year and it was traumatizing. I caught so they only stole $1k from me but I'm one for whom $1k is a big deal.

Why a Trump endorsement for my re-election matters more than democracy.

Oil prices soar past $100 while Dow futures sink 900 points as Iran war spirals into worst-case fears and U.S. eyes special forces mission Prices at the pump are likely to top $4 a gallon now that oil has surged past $100 a barrel for the first time since 2022.

Investors thought they could keep their gains separate from the destruction of democracy and our role in the world order. For a while, it almost seemed possible. Dow futures plummeting.

With billionaires investing so much into politics, I worry that people worth, say, $800-$900 million are getting priced out of the market.

At ~$1 billion/day, the US has spent as much on the war in Iran in ten days as the entire FY25 budget for the National Science Foundation ($10 billion).

Trump's FY26 budget request for the agency declined to $3.9 billion, due to a "realignment of resources in a constrained fiscal environment."

I think Trump is cookedβ€”and it’s helpful for us to say so, repeatedly and often.

Authoritarians use fear to compel obedience. Once people start thinking about what they’ll do once he’s gone, they’re much less likely to obey his commands.

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

Trump is now lying about bombing the girls school because …

Justice Department posts FBI interviews related to Trump sex abuse allegation | CNN Politics The Justice Department has posted online three FBI interviews related to sexual assault allegations against President Donald Trump that had been missing from the massive trove of Epstein files release...

On March 5th, the DOJ released another set of Epstein files - this time with at least some of the accusations against Trump.
Should’ve been front page news.

This is why people are dying in Iran, Lebanon and Israel. To distract from the realization that POTUS is a pedo.
