(The Center Square) – Giving Americans $1,000 per month in taxpayer-funded guaranteed income makes them worse off, says a new three-year, 3000-participant study. The National Bureau of Economic Research’s massive study found recipients and their partners work and earn less, with the negative effect on wages and earnings getting worse over time.

Former high school classmates of Barron Trump are shedding light on the 18-year-old’s personality. According to the Daily Mail’s reporting, fellow students thought highly of Barron, but noted that there were some oddities around his time at Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Over the last three years, the Biden administration has made a great deal of progress toward replacing the nation’s lead pipes, which are known to cause brain damage to young children. By any measure, getting this job done—which will take at least until 2037, in the best-case scenario—will be a monumental achievement in public health. But replacing those pipes is an expensive proposition, and the amount the federal government has set aside so far, $15 billion (to be distributed over five years), will not be enough to cover it. Complicating matters further, a big chunk of this money—more than $1...

Conservatives have done the United States a huge favor by explaining in detail what they’ll try to do if Donald Trump is reelected. Project 2025 , a “presidential transition project” of the Heritage Foundation, helpfully lays out how a group of former Trump officials would like to transform the country into a right-wing dystopia where the rich thrive and the rest of us die aspiring to be rich.
