From $1 buying 30 Hershey bars in 1913 to barely covering a pack of gummy worms today, the purchasing power collapse is undeniable, and compounding inflation keeps silently stripping wealth from every household.

2+ min ago (393+ words) The Trump administration wants America to lead the world on transportation technology, and it wants to remove burdensome federal regulations holding back technological progress. Why, then, is it allowing regulations to block American-made automation technology from being adopted? Freight railroads own their tracks and are responsible for maintaining them but must do so in line with federal regulations. The current track inspection rules were first issued in 1971. They involve manual inspection by workers riding in special locomotives or walking along the tracks. U.S. railroads have been developing automated track inspection (ATI) for years. These systems get mounted on the bottom of an ordinary locomotive or railcar. They use lasers to precisely measure tracks without special trips by workers to inspect them. They flag any defects in real time and dispatch maintenance workers can arrive exactly where they are needed. Allowing full…...

6+ min ago (635+ words) Critics often argue that accountability "criminalizes homelessness." This is a distraction. The real crisis isn't accountability " it's a system built on the belief that the chronically homeless are too fragile for expectations. The current approach fails for two main reasons: We've convinced ourselves that accountability is harmful for people in deep crisis " so we strip away the very social feedback that helps every other human being grow, change and stay grounded. The system is built on specialists who do their part, bill for services and then step back as people slip through the cracks and fall right back to the streets the moment the service window closes. The Other Side Village rejects that assumption. We believe that even the most marginalized among us have enormous potential. After an average of living nine years on the streets, 80% of the people who…...

7+ min ago (270+ words) Washington Post conservative columnist George Will slammed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday, arguing in a new columnthat reports of Hegseth's order to kill survivors of one of the Trump administration's boat strikes is something that should "nauseate Americans." The Post recently reported, citing two sources familiar with the situation, that Hegseth gave the order to "kill everybody"involved in one of the strikes. Hegseth has attacked the report, but has not explicitly denied the claims, Will noted in the column. "Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth seems to be a war criminal," Will wrote. "Without a war. An interesting achievement." "The killing of the survivors by this moral slum of an administration should nauseate Americans," Will added. "A nation incapable of shame is dangerous, not least to itself." The Trump administration has bombed nearly two dozen drug boats in the Caribbean…...

10+ min ago (458+ words) U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem claimed that no American citizens had been detained or arrested during Operation Midway Blitz in the Chicago area during a news conference at a National Guard facility in Gary, Indiana, on Oct. 30, 2025. Sen. Dick Durbin on Tuesday sent a scathing letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem asking for information about U.S. citizens who have wrongfully been caught in the Trump administration's immigration enforcement "dragnet." Durbin, an Illinois Democrat and the ranking member of the powerful Senate Judiciary Committee, disputed Noem's claim in late October that no American citizens were arrested or detained during the recent deportation "blitz" of the Chicago area, citing the Chicago Sun-Times reporting. He argued that Noem's assertion was "patently false." "The disturbing reality is that many American citizens have been caught in the Trump Administration's indiscriminate and violent enforcement…...
