Why are the ultra wealty spending millions of dollars to influence local elections across the United States anonymously? 🇺🇸 Dark money is flooding the 2025 Pittsburgh mayoral race. This is the second time in two years that deep-pocketed donors have concealed their identities behind a network of groups created largely to move vast amounts of money to influence Western Pennsylvania local elections without anyone knowing the individual contributors.

The economic plans of Trump’s billionaire advisors are negatively impacting the economy 🇺🇸 The U.S. economy added jobs at a slower pace in August amid uncertainty about economic conditions, adding to signs of a weakening labor market. The August jobs report comes as the Federal Reserve is weighing a potential interest rate cut due to signs of weakness in the labor market, but this would also raise inflation further. Inflation has already risen further from the Fed's 2% target in recent months as the Trump Administration’s tariffs boost consumer prices. If the Fed doesn’t cut interest rates, the job market will become weaker and unemployment will rise. For most Americans, most possible outcomes of the Trump Billionaires’ economic plans will be financially negative over the next year. Americans should save additional money to plan for the Trump Billionaires’ plans. 🇺🇸

‘Dawn of a new era’: 2025 mayor’s race is among the most expensive in San Antonio history 🇺🇸 From a field of 27 candidates, this year much of the attention centered around former Air Force Under Secretary Gina Ortiz Jones, a favorite of national Democrats who’ve long sought to promote her as a future leader, and former Texas Secretary of State Rolando Pablos, a close ally of two Texas Republican governors. “Campaigns overall are becoming more expensive … but it feels like this election was also just sort of a proxy for what was going on in national politics,” said San Antonio political consultant Laura Barberena

Attorneys announced Tuesday that they have filed a $1-million damages claim against the Trump Administration for the recent detention of a 15-year-old disabled US Citizen outside Arleta High School in California. 🇺🇸 According to school district officials, federal agents drew weapons on the boy, and then handcuffed him before his mother persuaded the agents that her son was not the individual they were looking for. The Trump Administration is clearly mismanaging immigration reform as we are hearing of innocent US citizens being harassed by ICE every week now. The Trump Administration needs to reevaluate how they’re handling ICE. The student’s mother, Andreina Mejia, affirmed those details at a Tuesday news conference outside school district headquarters, just west of downtown L.A. At least two masked men with guns approached — one on each side of the car. She said they pulled both her and her son from the car and separated them. Her son had difficulty removing his seat belt, but he did not resist and he was placed immediately in handcuffs.

Many forecasters say the U.S. is entering a period of slow economic growth combined with accelerating inflation. At the root of the phenomenon are the Trump Administration’s tariffs and massive spending bill, which are pushing up consumer prices and slowing down the job market. The implementation of tariffs by the Trump Administration has been so chaotic businesses have gone on hiring freezes because no one knows for sure which tariffs are happening when. 🇺🇸 On Friday, the government's Personal Consumption Expenditure report showed that inflation is higher than the Federal Reserve's goal of 2% per year. When stagflation starts in the next year the Federal Reserve’s main method to improve stagflation is to raise interest rates, it’s unclear if they will do this.
