America Is Living on Borrowed Money: Government borrowing and spending are necessary to stimulate the economy during recessions. The United States, however, now borrows heavily during periods of economic growth to meet basic and ongoing obligations. It’s increasingly unsustainable. Over the next decade, the Congressional Budget Office projects that annual federal budget deficits will average around $2 trillion per year, adding to the $25.4 trillion in debt the government already owes to investors

Employers and Trade Associations Are Resisting Heat Protections for Workers: Few states have rules mandating that all outdoor workers have access to water, rest and shade. On Sept. 7, OSHA will begin meetings with small-business owners to discuss its proposals, including actions that employers would take when temperatures rise to 90 degrees.

The demands for a more combative United Auto Workers union has pressed on General Motors, Stellantis and Ford demands that even the UAW’s own president calls “audacious,” are edging it closer to a strike when its contract ends next week. A potential strike could send already-inflated vehicle prices even higher.

# Environment / Climate / Interior / Infrastructure Carbon credit speculators could lose billions as offsets deemed ‘worthless’: Carbon credit speculators could lose billions as scientific evidence shows many offsets they have bought have no environmental worth and have become stranded assets. Amid growing evidence that huge numbers of carbon credits do nothing to mitigate global heating and can sometimes be linked to alleged human rights concerns, there is a growing pile of carbon credits … that are unused in the unregulated voluntary market, according to market analysis.

The Real Threat From China: They’re Better at Capitalism Than We Are: Following Antony Blinken’s fruitless visit in mid–June, we have paid Janet Yellen’s airfare for another fruitless visit, and following Yellen it was the same for John Kerry. This week it is Gina Raimondo’s turn.

It’s Time for Biden to Start Naming Names: As Republicans run against corporate ‘wokeness,’ he should run against corporate (CEOs’, big-time investors’) greed. Since Joe Biden can’t catch a break, as the latest in a seemingly unending series of alarming polls makes clear, he’d better start making some himself.

Grassroots Organizing in Red States Is at the Heart of Abolitionist Struggle: Here’s what we can learn from abolitionists who are organizing in some of the most conservative parts of the country. Woodard Henderson says that if abolitionists really believe the most impacted and marginalized people are at the heart of the struggle, then red states and counties must be centered in organizing efforts instead of treated as lost causes.

McCarthy Says No Biden Impeachment Without Full House Vote: The move will likely upset several Republicans in the House, who had called on Rep. Kevin McCarthy to open the inquiry on his own. Late last week, Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-California) told a right-wing news outlet that he would only open an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden after a full vote of the House of Representatives, despite calls from other Republican lawmakers to fast-track the process

# Law Enforcment
Donald Trump turned himself in to police in Fulton County, Georgia. The process took just minutes, but most other defendants are not so lucky: Hundreds of people were held at Fulton County Jail for more than 90 days because they had not been formally charged or could not afford the bail bond required for their release, according to a September 2022 report from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). The report also found 117 people had waited in jail for more than a year because they had not been indicted; 12 had been held for two years for the same reason.

Ken Paxton Begins His Impeachment Trial With a Loss: The Republican-majority Senate refused to throw out any articles of impeachment ahead of trial. The impeachment trial of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton began Tuesday and hurtled Republicans into a reckoning over whether to oust a prominent member of their party after years of alleged corruption or stand with one of former President Donald Trump’s biggest defenders.

Texas Goes After Out-of-State Abortions, Forces Prosecutions of Abortions: Texas is doubling down on its draconian abortion laws — both locally and at the state level. The law forbids prosecutorial discretion, a prosecutor’s ability to choose whether and how to pursue cases. Under the new law, prosecutors can be removed from office if they adopt a “policy” of refusing to prosecute particular types of crimes, including abortion-related offenses.
