The consensus seems to be that many people, from everyday citizens to those in the media and even those closest to him, are observing the same thing. The comment highlights a general agreement on this observation, as if Pritzker is simply voicing a common sentiment.

Trump administration scraps $8 billion for climate-related projects, and it’s hard not to feel a sense of disbelief, mixed with frustration. The news is clear: $8 billion, specifically designated for climate-related projects, is being pulled. What’s particularly striking, and frankly, infuriating, is that this cancellation appears to be targeted squarely at projects in blue states – California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington.
Now, it’s tempting to think, “Well, maybe those states just got all the funding in the first place.” But the reality is more complex.… Continue reading
Amidst pressure from Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey, Hamas is considering US President Trump’s proposed ceasefire deal, though reports suggest the group views it as unjust. The deal, endorsed by Israel, includes a three-phase withdrawal, hostage release, and prisoner exchange, as well as the demilitarization of Gaza. While the proposal enjoys widespread international support, including from Russia and the Vatican, Hamas is reportedly hesitant due to concerns about its terms and potential for “foreign control,” with the group possibly seeking adjustments. Anti-Israel groups in the US have strongly denounced the plan, viewing it as a blueprint for surrender and occupation, while Hamas has been given approximately two days to respond.

This recent action appears to be a retaliatory measure, targeting states that voted against President Trump in the 2024 election, particularly those with Democratic senators, and which also contribute significantly to the U.S. GDP. Simultaneously, the Trump administration has frozen $18 billion in infrastructure funding for New York City, citing the use of “unconstitutional DEI principles” as the reason. The Department of Energy has not provided any further comments on these decisions.

The American Prospect has obtained thousands of pages of documents related to the New Mexico attorney general’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, including interviews with accusers, land records, and flight logs. These documents reveal allegations of improper land deals and assaults at Epstein’s Zorro Ranch, raising questions about the state’s oversight. Although the investigation was ultimately shut down, the documents also detail state investigators traveling to other states and communicating with federal prosecutors. The documents are heavily redacted, but calls for further investigation and transparency from both state and federal lawmakers have begun.

Garry Chapman, son of “Dog the Bounty Hunter” Duane Chapman, was fired from the Priceville Police Department in Alabama after a high-speed chase ended in a fatal collision. The chase, initiated on September 6th, involved a suspected DUI driver and resulted in a crash with a minivan carrying teenage boys, one of whom, 17-year-old Tristian Hollis, died from his injuries. Chapman’s firing was upheld by the mayor, who cited the officer’s failure to end the pursuit, despite his attorney’s claims that Chapman was an excellent officer. The suspect driver, Archie Hale, faces multiple charges including murder, while Chapman plans to appeal his firing.

The Trump administration is withholding approximately $18 billion in federal funds earmarked for major infrastructure projects in New York City, citing concerns over diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) confirmed the pause on the Second Avenue Subway extension and the Hudson Tunnel project while it reviews whether the projects have implemented “race- and sex-based contracting requirements”. The department stated that funding would be held back pending these administrative reviews, which they say are unconstitutional. The federal government attributes these delays to the federal government shutdown, placing blame on Democratic officials and thus causing these delays.

In September, Russia’s territorial gains in Ukraine dramatically decreased, with forces capturing 44% less land compared to August, totaling approximately 259 square kilometers. This gain, which represents only 0.04% of Ukraine’s total area, is the smallest monthly advance since May. Key losses for Ukraine were concentrated near Novopavlivka in Donetsk Oblast, a challenging front line, and heavy fighting persisted around Kupiansk in Kharkiv Oblast. However, Ukrainian forces have been pushing back Russian troops in the Pokrovsk direction, reclaiming villages and slowing the enemy’s advance.
