Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) ate crackers and peanut for breakfast on Friday, while Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) solicited ideas for nutritional meals under $1.50. They and at least eight other Democratic congressmen are participating in the Food Stamp Challenge, which requires living for a week on the average food stamp allotment, according...

When you look at the sheer volume of wealth controlled by the top 1 percent in this country, it’s tempting to see our growing inequality as a quintessentially American achievement—we started way behind the pack, but now we’re doing inequality on a world-class level. And it looks as if we’ll be building on this achievement for years to come, because what made it possible is...

Bankers Bite Back At Bank Transfer Day →
Excellent article by Jen A. Miller
“Some 60,000 people signed up on that Bank Transfer Day page,” Keefe says. “Even if all of those people transferred, that wouldn’t have any drag on credit unions at all.”
CUNA went even further and ran the numbers for one million people, then 15 million people.
Only when you get to that 15 million mark – if 15 million people all moved their money around...
We've been seeing this Matt Taibbi piece on Occupy... →
shortformblog:
People don’t want handouts. It’s not a class uprising and they don’t want civil war — they want just the opposite. They want everyone to live in the same country, and live by the same rules. It’s amazing that some people think that that’s asking a lot.

It’s nice to meet you.
There are lots of reasons we’re excited to be launching the Obama 2012 campaign’s new Tumblr today. But mostly it’s because we’re looking at this as an opportunity to create something that’s not just ours, but yours, too.

Investigators had been trying to track down the driver for several days after Mathieu Lefevre was killed at the intersection of Meserole Street and Morgan Avenue, just after midnight on Wednesday. After the accident, the truck was...
