Anyone firing up the grill this summer already knows hamburgers and steaks are expensive, but the latest numbers show prices have climbed to record highs.
Beef prices have soared in the US — and not just during grilling season

Probably the very last person to post this, but holy shit.

This is unheard of. I don't think I've ever seen an election where youth turnout exceeded middle-aged, much less elderly people.

Trump and Republicans are about to jack up energy costs on families across the country if they pass their big bill, which will also devastate the clean energy industry that has created thousands of jobs in Arizona. That only helps China and hurts American families and workers.

We’ve truly lost our way in this country.

An 80-year-old vet who fought for this country just got arrested protesting Trump‘s parade. He deserves respect, not handcuffs.

🔥“Vouchers are benefitting white families in the suburbs who were already in private school or home school." A new national report, using data from AZ, shows voucher programs across the US are largely being used toward tuition for students from wealthier families who were already in private school.
School vouchers promise better education—This report raises doubts
The report says students from lower-income households face numerous barriers when it comes to voucher programs that direct public money toward private schools.

Two ESA charts:

1) ESA populations are mostly evenly distributed between zip codes earning $50k to $150k anually.

2) Controlling for student population size, ESA rates are much higher in wealthier zip codes. With 86 ESA students for every 1,000 minors in zip codes earning above $150k.

Trump wants to "get rid of the CHIPS Act"?!

This is a direct attack on Arizona’s semiconductor industry and tens of thousands of Arizona workers. TSMC's $100 billion investment announced yesterday would not have happened without this bipartisan bill, period.
