6+ min ago (409+ words) We've seen all sorts of money-saving tricks go massively viral on social media. After all, every cent counts as grocery prices continue to rise. But some methods leave viewers baffled and may not be fully on board, including the Colorado-based Target shopper who shares her trick to shave a few cents off her total. The video amassed 3 million views and sparked a heated discussion. The overwhelming majority of viewers condemned this for various reasons. "All that for 25," one viewer remarked. "Yeahhh soon enough target will start making cashiers come over to verify the bags," another commented. "Congratulations on making the check out line process take longer." "Now they're gonna get a system update to remove the feature," a third wrote, referring to the phenomenon where companies nip any viral hack in the bud. Even an alleged Target worker was critical…...

7+ min ago (246+ words) President Donald Trump's efforts to criminally prosecute his political adversaries have finally "collapsed," at least according to journalist Jason Easley, who argued the latest court rebuke to the Trump administration to be the final nail in the coffin for the president's "revenge campaign." "His demand to [Attorney General] Pam Bondi that she indict people on his enemies list has so far resulted in zero convictions. Before Trump returned to office, many Americans were concerned that he would be able to abuse his power to crush criticism with political prosecutions successfully" Trump hasn't been able to break the United States. Instead, it seems the U.S. is breaking Trump." Trump's Justice Department has targeted a number of the president's political adversaries, including FBI Director James Comey, New York Attorney General Letitia James, former National Security Adviser John Bolton, and Georgia District Attorney Fani…...

REUTERS/Jonathan Ernst Ten and one-half months into his second presidency, Donald Trump continues to be dogged by the very thing that imperiled former President Joe Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris during the 2024 election: inflation. The United States, as liberal economist Paul Krugman has often noted, enjoyed record-low unemployment during Biden's presidency. But Trump hammered Biden and Harris relentlessly on inflation during the presidential race, and that messaging helped him pull off a narrow victory of roughly 1.5 percent in the popular vote. Now, Trump is the one facing voters who are frustrated over the economy. In an article published by…...

12+ min ago (948+ words) "The elf word? Santa's gonna be so mad!" One Million Moms (OMM) is upset that a new Christmas-themed ad from the retail department store chain Kohl's features "an insinuated f-bomb." OMM has asked its followers to sign a petition and boycott the store until it cancels the ads. The ad features pro-basketball player Giannis Antetokounmpo speaking to "Kohl's Mom," a helpful character played by actress Ellie Kemper. The athlete tells Kemper, "I tried building my kids a dollhouse, and well," Then, extending a bandaged thumb and frowning, he adds, "I might have used "the elf word.'" Holding up a LEGO set, Kemper says, "Leave the building to smaller hands!" After, she remarks, "The elf word? Santa's gonna be so mad!" The rest of the ad features humorous scenes of Kemper suggesting gifts to white female customers. "It is unnecessary to…...

13+ min ago (780+ words) I want to pour you a shot of good news, with a stiff chaser. It won't wipe away all your troubles, but it might make you feel warm and fuzzy for about 30 minutes " maybe longer if you just allow yourself to go with the buzz " (BARTENDER'S TIP: Allow yourself to go with the buzz. It's been a hard damn decade.) All's not well in MAGA land, my friends. It seems there are hardcore members of the most destructive cult in American history, who believe their fearful, orange leader is outdoing himself in the Department of Bulls, as he undoes our democracy. It's actually starting to look like Donald Trump can go too far for at least a few of his ardent supporters, who have been known to see homegrown terrorists stomping on police officers and destroying our Capitol as "tourists,…...

17+ min ago (638+ words) Last year, the Supreme Court's conservative majority ruled that the president of the United States had "absolute" criminal immunity for his "official acts," as well as lesser degrees of immunity for other acts committed while president. This decision in Trump v. United States came under widespread and withering criticism from the dissenting justices and ordinary Americans alike. "The relationship between the president and the people he serves has shifted irrevocably," Justice Sonia Sotomayor warned in her dissenting opinion. "In every use of official power, the president is now a king above the law." No. 70, which was written by Hamilton and focuses on the nature of the presidency, is perhaps the central text for those who advocate for the unitary-executive theory. Their choice is somewhat understandable: Hamilton argues forcefully for creating a presidency with one officeholder instead of a "plural executive," as…...

17+ min ago (1754+ words) Politico seems to think it's the third one: Steyer running a populist gubernatorial campaign means voters don't care about global warming. The piece goes on: "Climate concern has fallen in the state over time. In 2018, when Gov. Gavin Newsom was running for office, polling found that 57 percent of likely California voters considered climate change a very serious threat to the economy and quality of life for the state's future. Now, that figure is 50 percent." This is not a portrait of an electorate that doesn't care about climate change. It's a portrait of an electorate that may actually be very ready to hear a politician convincingly embrace climate populism'championing affordability and better material conditions for working people, in part by protecting them from the predatory industries driving a cost-of-living crisis while poisoning people. One of the troubles with climate change in…...

On Thursday night's edition'of CNN's'The Source with Kaitlan Collins, the anchor opened her show with a blunt summation of the news and a call-out of Trump's feigned indifference to the news: KAITLAN COLLINS: Tonight, Indiana Republicans just handed President Trump one of his biggest defeats yet.

21+ min ago (1156+ words) Truth deserves a community. Become a Rewire Member Today. If SCOTUS sides with the Trump administration and its Republican allies, the damage "will take lifetimes to repair." Conservatives on the Supreme Court seem intent on sending a clear message to the American public this 2025-2026 term: A new age of American authoritarianism is here. Four cases in particular underscore how the Court's six conservative justices are an integral piece in the Republican project to upend the democratic norms that underpin U.S. society. The outcome of these cases in 2026 will determine how successful the GOP and their Supreme Court enablers are in their project to deconstruct basic civil rights and liberties. On Dec. 4, 2025, the Supreme Court handed Republicans a significant victory, ruling Texas' brand-new congressional map can take effect while a case challenging the legality of its partisan redistricting advances in the lower…...
