Anew poll indicates the U.S. Supreme Court, once at the top of the nation’s most respected national institutions, is plummeting in public approval, with neither Republicans nor Democrats satisfied with the nine justices or their legal opinions. Only slightly more than a third of Americans trust the court. Americans also strongly disagree with justices’ lifetime tenure. Although the court shouldn’t rule by public opinion, nor will public disapproval determine its future, the judiciary branch’s behavior has justified the scrutiny it is receiving.

US regulators appear to be on a collision course with crypto. Sometime soon, many issuers and intermediaries could be forced out of business or at least out of the country.

On its way to oblivion is another relic from an increasingly distant era. The Ford Motor Co. plans to discontinue AM radios in most of its 2024 vehicles, according to the Detroit Free Press.

Donald Trump’s argument that he couldn’t have raped E. Jean Carroll because “she’s not my type” is meaningless.

House Republicans narrowly passed a bill this week that would increase the federal government’s debt ceiling in exchange for $4.8 trillion in spending cuts over 10 years that show what the GOP cares about.

President Joe Biden formally announced his re-election bid last week. The nation reacted with a collective yawn.

Speaker Kevin McCarthy scored a big win with the passage of a Republican debt-limit proposal stocked with spending cuts and other rollbacks to Democratic priorities.

The firings of Tucker Carlson at Fox and CNN’s Don Lemon are sending shock waves through the news landscape and could be a sign that both cable behemoths are realigning for 2024.

Amid a stunning 168 mass shootings in 2023, including a school shooting in Nashville that left six people dead (including three children) and seven mass shooting incidents in one April weekend alone, U.S. gun violence, and the politics surrounding it, have led to widespread public uproar. Yet a recent major gun lawsuit brought by the Mexican government against U.S. gun manufacturers has gone largely unnoticed.

For decades, Fox News thrived because the people behind it understood what their audience wanted and were more than willing to deliver: television news – or what Fox called news – from a populist perspective.

There’s an old cliché in America’s gun debate that is so anathema to common sense — Guns don’t kill, people kill — that politically serious defenders of gun culture seldom even invoke it anymore. Like “thoughts and prayers,” it has become a dark and self-defeating punchline. Yet former President Donald Trump and his former vice president, Mike Pence, both went there last week, while speaking separately to the National Rifle Association’s annual gathering in Indiana.

Afew years ago, I found out that I was one of the growing number of people with food sensitivities including wheat intolerance. I learned that industrial-milled mass-produced wheat had been linked to chronic digestive and inflammatory illnesses in many people like me.
