So are we just teaching our kids they have to obey anyone with a mask and an unmarked car and an oddly-fitting vest and zip ties now and go with them? Is this where we’re at?

At Juno Beach I realized that the democratic values that I had taken for granted didn't just happen. They were paid for at an immense cost of lives and sacrifice. Would we be willing to pay the same sacrifice if the darkness descended again? My reflection on June 6. substack.com/home/post/p-...

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) isn’t just a measure of inflation, it directly impacts Social Security checks, mortgage, federal aid, business contracts, and worker pay. It’s foundational to understanding how the economy is working for everyday Americans. But now? It’s becoming far less accurate.

Note how the legacy media just walks past Musk's reveal that Trump's all over the Epstein files and is only interested in the "spat" between them where Musk said that. This is everything that's wrong with our media here. The same media that spend YEARS on Monica Lewinsky. Hmm what was different?

While Elon Musk and Donald Trump continue their public break up and tear down, the real story is the man replacing Musk at DOGE: Russell Vought. Democracy Docket dug into Vought and his plans to wreak havoc on millions of Americans. Fund reporting that focuses on facts and cuts through the noise.
