Every week across the U.S. more than two newspapers go out of business. In the past two decades more than 3,000 papers have shut down operations. That's left more than 1,500 counties so-called news deserts. Forty-three of West Virginia's 55 counties have just one local news source and that limited access gives the state a ranking of 46th out of all 50 states. Studies show when local news sources vanish, the result is a drop in community participation on many levels. On the next episode of Us & Them, host Trey Kay visits some regional news deserts to talk about the way local news organizations help a community see and define itself. Some say local coverage is the glue that brings a place together and in Putnam County the Hurricane Breeze continues to offer essential local news while in Greenbrier County, a startup is working to bring back that voice.

Bașcana regiunii găgăuze, Evghenia Guțul, a fost condamnată în primă instanță la 7 ani de închisoare într-un dosar privind finanțarea ilegală a fostului partid „Șor”, declarat neconstituțional în iunie 2023. Bașcana a fost arestată. De ce a fost găsită vinovată ne amintește Valeria Vițu. Tot ea ne va face și un rezumat al reacțiilor venite de la Chișinău, dar și de la Moscova.   Ce înseamnă această condamnare? E un semnal clar că în Republica Moldova corupția electorală nu este tolerată, comentează la RFI Ștefan Bejan, istoric și analist politic, reprezentant al comunității Watchdog de la Chișinău. Pe cine mai vizează această condamnare aflăm din interviul realizat de colega mea Lina Grâu.   Viitorul nostru este legat de o piață comună între România și Republica Moldova, o piață integrată de la Nistru până la Tisa.

Sound familiar? That's because it mirrors the far-left's dream of Universal Basic Income—only this time, it's wrapped in a red hat. Here's what you'll hear:Why Trump's plan sounds more like Bernie Sanders than ReaganHow tariff revenue is just another tax on working AmericansThe dangerous precedent of turning tariffs into UBIWhat would happen if AOC or Warren proposed the exact same thingAnd why conservatives need to be honest about what this really is: redistributionIf you think it's conservative just because Trump says it—you're not paying attention.

Philadelphia's Holmesburg prison, before it was officially shut down in 1995, had been a house of horrors for much of its history. In addition to being grossly overcrowded and its prisoners being subjected to sometimes lethal abuse by prison officials... for over two decades - from 1951 to 1974, Dr. Albert Kligman performed wildly unethical medical experiments on its prisoners. Inmates were burned, infected with incurable diseases, exposed to radiation, carcinogens, and more without their informed consent. These atrocities and more earned the prison the nickname of The Terrordome.Merch and more: www.badmagicproductions.com Timesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89vWant to join the Cult of the Curious PrivateFacebook Group?
