  Hi there, It’s Wednesday. The UK government is in turmoil after last week’s disastrous election results for the Labour party, with many demanding Prime Minister Kier Starmer to set a timeline for resigning or resign outright. South Carolina Republicans reject map that would have eliminated Rep. Jim Clyburn’s, the sole Democrat representing the state, seat. And FBI Director Kash Patel loses it under Senate questioning about his reported drinking on the job. Patel’s conduct as FBI Director has raised growing concerns about both his qualifications and his ability to responsibly lead one of the country’s most powerful law enforcement agencies. The FBI is not a partisan platform—it is an institution entrusted with national security and the rule of law. When questions about preparedness, temperament, and qualifications are downplayed in favor of spectacle or partisan framing, the public is left without a clear understanding of the risks involved in placing unqualified leadership at the...

             URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Tell U.S. pension fund TIAA to DIVEST from planet-destroying fossil fuels! >>   Take immediate action! Big Oil billionaires are lighting our planet on fire.  Greedy polluters are poisoning the air we breathe and the water we drink to stuff their own wallets – and Trump and his MAGA allies are letting them get away with it. We can’t rely on the federal government to address climate change –  at least not while Trump is in charge  – and that’s why  a brave group of educators is demanding their pension fund TIAA end its investments in fossil fuels.  But they need public support from concerned environmentalists like you to make it happen.  Please don’t delay – tell TIAA to listen to its customers and STOP investing in fossil fuels! SIGN THE PETITION TIAA manages nearly  $1.5 TRILLION  in assets for millions of teachers, professors, and healthcare employees. If it chose to...

Just ask the Goodmans. By Brian Goldstone   The inspiration for Brian Goldstone’s 2026 Pulitzer Prize–winning book,  There Is No Place for Us,  can be traced in part to this 2019 TNR feature about an Atlanta woman, Cokethia Goodman, whose family became homeless even as she worked full-time.   In the story of the Goodman family, the intimate, novelistic attention that distinguishes Goldstone’s work is on full display—as is an ...
