Americans are losing confidence in two main pillars of society: capitalism and democracy.

Just under half of Americans say capitalism is working very well or even somewhat well, down from 60% who said so about a decade ago, according to a new Wall Street Journal-NORC survey. Only 35% are even fairly sure that the nation offers people the ability to get good jobs and achieve the American dream.

Confidence in the nation’s system of government is even lower. Only 12% say democracy is working very well or extremely well, and a mere 16% say average citizens have considerable influence on politics.

The findings come as Americans this year celebrate the nation’s 250th birthday, a moment that has surfaced sharp political divisions over many elements of national identity that unified the U.S. for decades. On July 4, President Trump delivered an address that focused on American greatness and honored the nation’s war heroes and figures from history, including Davy Crockett, Theodore Roosevelt and Civil War hero William Carney, considered the first Black person to perform an act honored with the Congressional Medal of Honor.

But the survey found that fewer than 40% of Americans said they were very proud of American history, and that faith is low in many of the traditional features of the country’s national identity, including patriotism, the promise of the American dream and the country’s self-image as a leader among nations.

Do you remember when the US government destabilized Guatemala over bananas?

"Fearing Árbenz's progressive policies—which the company and US officials framed as "communist"—President Dwight D. Eisenhower authorized the CIA to orchestrate Operation PBSuccess in 1953. This covert operation supplied, funded, and trained a proxy army led by Carlos Castillo Armas, which invaded Guatemala from Honduras. The resulting destabilization forced Árbenz to resign in June 1954, abruptly ending Guatemala's democratic revolution and sparking decades of oppressive military rule and a civil war that claimed an estimated 200,000 lives."

We need to realize that many of the wonderful people fleeing to our country aren't doing so by choice. They are leaving because major global powers, including the U.S., have historically destabilized smaller nations and exploited their resources, rendering their homelands unlivable. If you were facing a life-threatening situation, waiting 3 to 20 years for an artificially prolonged legal process simply isn't an option.

No rational person objects to removing truly dangerous individuals from the country. However, the inhumane tactics used by the Trump administration are unacceptable. Unless immigration enforcement is conducted legally, safely, and in strict alignment with constitutional rights, it should not be tolerated.

Immigration advocates thought Salina Supervisor Raul Huerta would be sympathetic to the cause.

AI can certainly serve as a supplementary tool for reviewing building blueprints and permits, but it should never become the primary or sole reviewer. It is a well-established fact that AI models can and do hallucinate errors. Knowing this, relying on automation to handle the bulk of the approval process will inevitably introduce critical, avoidable risks into public infrastructure.

City lawmakers heard a proposal on Tuesday to apply for a $1.5 million federal grant toward an "automated building permit system." It's an effort from the Department of Housing and Urban Development to test out the effectiveness of an AI tool.

Companies gouging customers at the pump is nothing new. However, the more critical issue is that President Trump handed them the perfect vehicle to do so by waging an unconstitutional war with Iran—one that was never approved by Congress.

Do you agree with President Trump that oil companies are gouging customers at the pump?

The actions of the ultra-wealthy make one thing undeniably clear: our health, our happiness, and our livelihoods will always take a backseat to their profits. Consider the facts: this dangerous bacteria was discovered back in February, yet it was deliberately kept under wraps until July.

How is it legally permissible for a corporation to sit on a public health hazard for five months? Why are we allowing these companies to grade their own papers instead of mandating independent government inspectors to regularly test the wastewater? Furthermore, should this data center even be allowed to continue construction unimpeded when we know there are far greater risks to the surrounding community?

We cannot afford to leave our safety to chance. We deserve elected officials who actually represent all of us—not just corporate interest groups.

If government agents have time to harass a U.S. citizen over a social media post demanding ICE accountability, their jobs clearly aren't as time-sensitive as they claim.

Americans don’t just need jobs—they need jobs that pay a living wage. No one in a nation this wealthy should have to grind through two or three jobs just to survive paycheck to paycheck. Worker cooperatives offer a direct, proven solution to this crisis, ensuring that people are finally paid fairly for the wealth they create
