Matt Stoller warns of Watergate-level corruption in DOJ’s antitrust division
Matt Stoller of the American Economic Liberties Project says a growing Trump-era antitrust scandal is part of a broader corruption crisis. With state attorneys general forcing corporate officials to sit through depositions, Stoller argues these are just the tip of the iceberg. He adds that if Congress investigates, they’re likely to uncover Watergate-level corruption. “There are dozens of depositions just sitting there waiting for any member of Congress to pick up, read and say, hey, let's, let's look into this… let's look at insider trading. Let's look at this potential bribery, etc."

Two historic verdicts may signal a shift in holding social media companies accountable.

The Tech Reckoning: Are social media giants finally facing accountability?
Two landmark verdicts are challenging Big Tech’s long-standing claim that social media is safe for kids. A California jury found YouTube and Meta liable for designing addictive features that harm young users. Meanwhile, a New Mexico jury ruled Meta failed to protect children from predators. President of the Cyber Civil Rights Initiative, Dr. Mary Anne Frank's weighs in, “It’s not just about these verdicts, it’s about the public perception of these companies and it’s about potential regulation by the government."

What do 18th century colonists, an eight-year-old girl with cerebral palsy, and a 15-year-old schoolgirl from Alabama have in common? Separated by centuries and circumstance, each made a choice to challenge injustice. Their stories remind us that America’s history is shaped not by grand moments alone, but by ordinary people standing up for something greater than themselves.

A housing crisis for an entire generation
Urban economist Jenny Schuetz says America’s housing crisis is the result of years of underbuilding—especially in the places where opportunity is greatest—and it won’t be solved by federal talking points alone. Real change, she argues, has to happen at the local level through reforms like zoning changes that make it easier to build more affordable housing. “This is about 24-year-olds not being able to move out of their parents' house and live independently, people not being able to buy their first home, essential workers not being able to live in the communities where they work,” she says.

The freedom to move, rebuild, and strive is in America’s DNA. But, housing affordability will require local solutions – starting with reforming zoning rules that lock working families out of the American Dream. Otherwise, expect deeper economic and racial divides.

Zoning laws are locking working families out of the American Dream
America’s housing crisis isn’t just about rising prices, it’s about shrinking mobility. Local zoning ordinances have made it difficult to build affordable homes in high-opportunity areas, effectively locking working families out. The result is a more divided country segregated by income, and often by race. Real solutions have to start at the local level: reforming zoning, and democratizing who gets a say in shaping the communities Americans live in.

The Trump administration’s purported reset on mass deportation appears aimed at managing optics, not changing policy. Even as it moves out of public view, enforcement is expanding in scale, according to analysis by The New York Times. As ICE operations shift out of the spotlight, critics warn the effort is reaching deeper into vulnerable communities and raising new concerns about civil liberties.

Republican Congressman Andy Ogles recently proclaimed, "Pluralism is a lie," in an Islamophobic post online. But pluralism, the belief in a society constituted by its many parts, is the foundational value of the United States that he chooses not to grasp.

Ali Velshi: pluralism is a foundational American value
In the course of an Islamophobic post online, Republican Congressman Andy Ogles wrote, "Pluralism is a lie." But pluralism, the belief in a society constituted by its many parts, is the foundational value of the United States. He fails to understand that America’s struggle for civil rights, as well as racial and religious equality, over the years, is about fulfilling this nation's founding promise.

The race to fill Marjorie Taylor Greene’s vacated seat in Congress heads for a runoff vote. None of the 17 candidates running got more than 50% of the vote. Georgia’s minimum threshold rule for elections has segregationist roots that were designed to keep Black candidates from public office.
