[ad_1] After the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Temporary Protected Status for Haitians can end, Trump administration officials have said it is safe for Haitians to return to their country — despite a State Department warning against travel there because of violence. In April, the State Department issued its highest travel warning, Level 4, which said, “Do not travel to Haiti due to kidnapping, crime, terrorist activity, civil unrest.” The warning said “violent crime is rampant in Haiti,” citing gangs and organized crime and terrorist activity.  On CNN’s “State of the Union” on June 28, host Jake Tapper repeatedly asked…

[ad_1] This week, editors Peter Suderman, Katherine Mangu-Ward, Nick Gillespie, and Matt Welch discuss the growing influence of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and whether socialism is becoming a mainstream force within the Democratic Party. The panel examines what’s driving the DSA’s recent gains, whether President Donald Trump has accelerated the movement’s rise, and what a more openly socialist Democratic Party could mean for American politics. Next, the editors discuss the DSA’s policy agenda, including proposals on housing, labor, and public spending. They then examine Trump’s strategy toward Iran and debate whether the latest round of military escalation has become a recurring cycle…

[ad_1] The opening weekend of the Great American State Fair in Washington, D.C., was, to put it simply, miserable. It was extremely muggy, with rain pouring down seemingly every hour. A child rolled around in the grass, crying and screaming, “I. WANT. TO. GO. HOME!!!” Creed’s “Higher” blared over the loudspeakers, and a sparse crowd milled about the various exhibitions. The bare bones setup—flimsy, fake two-dimensional columns that looked like something Wile E. Coyote would run into while chasing The Road Runner—left much to be desired, as America’s 250th anniversary was celebrated with kitsch and ennui rather than grandeur and…

[ad_1] Tel Aviv has a new Orwellian name for its genocide in Gaza: The Free Movement Plan.  According to Israeli Channel 13, Tel Aviv will force the Palestinians to “voluntarily migrate” from Gaza under the “Free Movement Plan.” An Israeli official explained that Tel Aviv was relaunching the genocide in Gaza under more friendly language.  The Free Movement Plan will allow Israel “to reintroduce the initiative using language deemed more acceptable internationally.” Channel 13 added that Israeli officials “expressed optimism that the change in terminology could help shift those countries’ positions and revive the plan after earlier setbacks.” Israel has…

[ad_1] After two successive women lost the race for president – and with the GOP increasingly claiming the testosterone-fueled "manosphere" – a lot of Democratic insiders are starting to worry the party is a bit too low-T. Even its successful new faces, like Jon Ossoff and James Talarico, might still be too soft. (This might explain why a recent Instagram post from @Democrats showed Talarico gnawing on meat.)

[ad_1] JPMorgan says Bitcoin mining economics have deteriorated as BTC trades about 19% below its estimated $78,000 production cost, forcing public miners into record coin sales and rendering roughly 20% of the industry unprofitable. Bitcoin has traded below the estimated cost to mine it for five straight months, according to JPMorgan analysts, leaving roughly one in five miners unprofitable and pushing publicly listed operators to sell a record volume of coins. In a client note circulated this week, analysts led by managing director Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou said bitcoin mining economics have “worsened” in 2026. JPMorgan places the current all-in production cost of bitcoin…

[ad_1] In May 1995, a supporters group associated with the English football club Stoke City FC launched a campaign demanding wholesale changes to their beloved team. At the time, Stoke City played in Division One, the competition just below the top tier, three-year-old English Premier League (EPL). At the conclusion of every season the best clubs in the First Division get bumped up to the EPL to compete against heavyweights like Manchester United and Liverpool. But Stoke City was languishing, and hope that it would get promoted any time soon was fading. In an advertisement published in a local newspaper,…
