The U.S. has recorded more measles cases in seven months of 2026 than in all of 2025. The outbreak map traces directly to states that adopted RFK Jr.'s vaccine policies — and the federal apparatus that would normally respond has been restructured by the same ideological network that produced the cri
The State Department's Cuba security report doesn't document a foreign threat — it names American activists, labor organizers, and journalists who criticized U.S. policy. That's not intelligence. It's a blacklist.
A new GAO report finds Amazon workers' use of food assistance nearly tripled as the company's profits grew by $66 billion. This is not a poverty wages story — it is a corporate subsidy story, and taxpayers are the ones writing the check.
The CLARITY Act would curb Trump's crypto self-dealing. The moderate Democrats backing it are also cashing checks from the industry they'd constrain — exposing a donor dependency that makes the party's anti-corruption posture largely ceremonial.
Pete Hegseth proposed $340 billion in Pentagon cuts in February. The plan vanished without explanation. Now he wants a 44% budget increase to WWII-era spending levels — while gutting diversity programs and leaving contractor revenue untouched.
Ulviyya Alovsat worked for a U.S.-funded outlet in one of the world's most press-hostile states. She is now in prison — and Washington has not said her name.
Residential electricity costs have risen 18 percent since January 2025 as the administration's self-imposed 18-month deadline to cut bills in half came and went. The trade war, AI datacenter expansion, and renewable energy cancellations didn't just fail to lower prices — they were structurally guara
The UK's emergency nationalization of its last steel plant is a labor story, a national security story, and a preview of the economic conflict that will define the next decade — all at once.
Initiative 645 has cleared Washington's signature threshold, putting the state's new millionaires tax on the November ballot. The repeal campaign reveals how organized wealth uses direct democracy as a veto on redistributive legislation.
Twelve state attorneys general are suing to block the Warner Bros.-Paramount merger after the Trump administration waved it through. The case is a direct indictment of how federal antitrust enforcement is being selectively applied.
The company suspected in a cyclospora outbreak gave $2.2 million to GOP infrastructure — including $1 million to a Trump-aligned PAC days after the administration delayed the food tracing rule it would have been required to follow. Thousands are now sick.
The EU's proposed relaxation of its emissions trading system follows a two-decade pattern: carbon markets are weakened precisely when they start to work. Corporate lobbying didn't kill European climate policy — it just keeps making it slower.
New Mexico AG Raúl Torrez says the DOJ is withholding unredacted Epstein files from the only active criminal investigation into his network. The federal government says it's following the law. The deadline to explain that position expires July 31.
A 50-46 party-line Senate vote preserved the Trump administration's AI-driven Medicare coverage review program. Every Republican voted to keep algorithms — operated by private contractors — between seniors and their care.
A White House teleprompter operator allegedly used advance knowledge of Trump's speeches to win more than $100,000 on prediction markets. The CFTC is investigating — and the case exposes a structural vulnerability the industry's self-regulatory claims cannot explain away.
A new DHS rule cuts foreign journalist visas to 240 days and imposes stricter limits on Chinese reporters. The policy doesn't ban coverage — it makes sustained accountability journalism operationally impossible for a targeted class of reporters, while giving the government plausible deniability abou
