Trump has long viewed legacy media as adversarial, and his ‘Meet the Press’ interview helps illustrate why, whether one agrees with him or not. Source link
Yesterday’s promises: Just a day ago, the Iranian military warned that if Israel strikes southern Lebanon again, “much harsher and more crushing actions than before will be on the way” to its adversary. The Reason Roundup Newsletter by Liz Wolfe Liz and Reason help you make sense of the day’s news every morning. So Israel struck southern Lebanon again, directly testing Iran. Yesterday, at least nine people were killed in a strike near Tyre, in the south. The Israeli army has ordered people to evacuate Tyre, including those who live in the Christian quarter, which had formerly been somewhat more insulated from…
Instead of being boycotted, Israel, in the midst of genocide, sold more weapons to Arabs in 2025 than to the U.S. Europe was the biggest purchaser, per Israel’s MoD, and India bought more Israeli arms than any single nation.

This means Israel rakes…
Photo by Hennie Stander Last year the major anomaly in the labor market seemed to be that we were seeing very weak job growth and only a limited rise in the unemployment rate. The most plausible explanation was that the Trump administration’s immigration policies had sharply curtailed the pace of labor force growth, with the number of jobs needed to keep the unemployment rate stable now in the range of 20K to 60K. In the last three months we seem to be seeing the opposite story. The economy added 172,000 jobs in May, after adding 214,000 jobs in March and…
The turmoil engulfing CBS News and "60 Minutes" has left me wondering what my grandfather Andy Rooney would make of it all. Source link
A couple of weeks ago, the litigants in the Social Media Adolescent Addiction/Personal Injury Products Liability Litigation multi-district case tried to seal a court filing that had apparently been inadequately redacted when it had been filed. That is sometimes allowed, but what was striking is that they proposed an order (ECF 3048) that would have provided that, Any party, counsel, or member of the public who may have obtained copies of ECF 3009-1 during the time that it was publicly available, including through ECF Court alerts that automatically generate PDF copies filed in the case, shall immediately delete and destroy…
By Henry A. Giroux This article was originally published by Truthout Universities risk becoming agents of militarized socialization rather than sites of democratic education. What happens to higher education when institutions dedicated to critical thought increasingly align themselves with the logics of war, surveillance, and national security? Unless we mount an organized resistance, we may viscerally experience the answer to this question all too soon. We are already watching this transformation play out in both the U.S. and Canada as universities face growing pressure to align their missions, research agendas, and pedagogical practices with the values, priorities, and imperatives…
Our economy is being transformed at a faster pace than we have ever experienced before. Thanks to giant leaps in the field of artificial intelligence, human labor is not as valuable as it once was. All over the world, millions of human workers are being replaced and that trend is only going to accelerate. For those that have already retired or are on the verge of retirement, this isn’t that big of a deal. But for younger workers, this is absolutely terrifying. There is no loyalty in corporate America today. The moment that AI can do your job more efficiently…

For Spencer Pratt’s supporters, the last four days of the Los Angeles mayoral primary vote-counting and conclusion were like a gut punch delivered in slow motion. On election night, their candidate held a lead of roughly 40,000 votes over Democratic Socialist City Councilwoman Nithya Raman, a margin that seemed to validate Pratt’s social media insurgency – and set up a November runoff against incumbent Mayor Karen Bass. By Sunday evening, six days later, that lead had evaporated entirely. Raman had pulled ahead by more than 3,100 votes, crushing Pratt’s long-shot dream of flipping Los Angeles City Hall red. “A net…
