| There is good news about inflation – and bad. The good news is that inflation will soon peak and come down to more acceptable levels. |
 | | The Labor Department announced today that consumer inflation rose to an 8.6% annual rate in May, the highest level in more than four decades with increasing energy and food prices pushing prices higher. | | Michael M. Santiago/Getty Images | |
| The bad news is that inflation will slow because the Federal Reserve is slamming the brakes on monetary policy. This is likely to produce an economic recession and further stock market losses. |
| The Biden administration and the Fed have allowed the inflation genie out of the bottle for the first time since the 1980s. (READ MORE) |

| Hundreds of people have marched to the White House to protest the Supreme Court's recent decision to erase a woman's right to make health care decisions for themselves. While I agree that a bunch of unelected right-wing extremists' decision to fundamentally alter women's rights in America is cause for protest, I couldn't for the life of me understand why these activists were protesting in front of the White House. |
| Let's be perfectly clear here: The reason why this happened was because of the Republican Party. Period. Full stop. (READ MORE) |

| After 11 years, students at George Washington University Law School will register for courses this fall with one notable difference: They will no longer be able to take a seminar with Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. |

| The removal of Justice Thomas from the list of lecturers followed a cancel campaign that demanded the university ban him from classrooms.

| The right to control our own bodies has been wrestled away from us by the Supreme Court, along with a clear road map of where it intends to go. In his concurrence, Justice Clarence Thomas called for the court to reconsider other rights that protect our freedom to make personal, private decisions, including the right to gay marriage and access to contraception. |
| The fight for reproductive rights and gender-affirming care is one and the same. As a transgender man, I'm speaking out about the necessity of these services. (READ MORE) |
