How did the dems manage to lose an election in which they outraised their opponents three to one? In part, ground game. Trump will be rolling back student debt relief. Musk calls to abolish the CFPB. EPA scientists faced retaliation for finding harm from chemicals. The President of Mexico has strong words for Trump. And a Whole Foods in Philadelphia is unionizing.

Pokemon Go–good or bad? Who knows. Gaetz is out, Bondi is in. The ICC issues an arrest warrant for Netanyahu. Conditions at a Virginia prison are so bad that inmates are setting themselves on fire. And little gophers made a big difference at Mount St. Helens.

Trump cabinet picks are a veritable who’s who of unstable warmongers and knuckleheads. AI slop of Elon Musk has Facebook users thinking he’s gonna save the world. News reporting on the Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer hooligans is pure disinformation. Senate Dems have a chance to strengthen the NLRB–will they take it? And Colombia outlaws child marriage.

The election is almost here and campaigns have been bilking the elderly for everything they’re worth. A DuPont factory in Louisiana gets a slap on the wrist for emitting benzene.
