“My own personal path to understanding America in 2025”
Most Americans do not understand what is happening here. A slight majority of voters elected a man who has authorized others to destroy much of the Federal apparatus. I believe that his purpose is to establish a fascist dictatorship. He is far from alone in this project. This article is the...

“What the meat industry knew about its environmental impact — and how it spent decades blocking climate action”
Gosh! Amazing! A Big Business sector misled the public, in order to make more money! But let's not try to regulate these things. Let's trust them to behave... There are links in the seed.

“Of drunkards, lampposts and economic doctrines”
I wonder if we'll see any of our MAGA members actually reply to the content of the seed. So far, over these last couple weeks I've been seeding Krugman, there have been very few such. Personal attacks on the man? Tons. I've often requested, specifically, to Comment on the content... but hey!...

“Why Elon Musk wants to make seniors suffer”

“Maybe it's a different John Roberts?" one American wondered"”
Chief Justice Roberts has nothing to fear. History books must be approved by the Ministry of Truth. Roger B. Taney was a great Justice. Right?

“Or, how Scott Bessent (sort of) became spiritual”

“Pages about Native Americans who helped US send messages in world wars removed in Pentagon 'DEI' purge”
I know this topic has appeared in Comments, but I'm not sure there's been a seed. If this is an unnecessary double, I'll take it down. There are links in the seed.
Do Americans really want urban sprawl?

“Many people are hungry for denser, more walkable communities, they believe; there just aren’t enough of them to go around.”
IMNAAHO, "walkable cities" is a topic about which most Americans know little to nothing, simply because the idea is non-existant in many American urban areas. Yuma Arizona is a very nice place... but not at all walkable, and the new developments going up are strictly car-centric. It doesn't...

“A journey through the front lines of global poverty shows that when the world's richest men slash aid for the world's poorest children, the result...”
Only a fool or a psychopath could imagine that people who have been surviving - barely - on USAid supply food and medicine, won't be harmed when that ais stops. President Musk is not a fool, so I conclude that he is a psychopath. There are links in the seed.
