Which US States Are Seeing Incomes Rise The Fastest (And Slowest)
Since 2019, U.S. household incomes have surged - rising from $68,700 to $83,730 nationally, a 21.9% increase in just five years.
But where you live matters a lot.
While some states tracked close to the national average, others saw incomes climb at nearly double the pace, driven by booming local industries and major investment.
States like Colorado posted outsized gains, while Georgia's expanding EV industry brought billions in investment and rising paychecks.
The map, via Visual Capitalist's Dorothy Neufeld, shows which states saw the fastest growth in median household income from 2019 to 2024, using data from the U.S. Census Bureau.

Lavrov Soberly Acknowledged The Challenges Posed By Trump 2.0
Authored by Andrew Korybko,
He calmly acknowledged that it's now more difficult for Russia to advance its foreign policy goals due to the US' renewed attempt to dominate the global economy through coercion and force, but he still believes that BRICS will play a pivotal role in furthering the global systemic transition to multipolarity.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov recently gave an interview to TV BRICS about their namesake organization and its role in the global systemic transition.
He began by contextualizing the present moment in history as the interim period between the decline of US-led Western hegemony and the rise of multiple centers of power and influence.
These inverse trends have led to friction because “the West is losing its hegemony but keeps on clinging to the institutions set up to secure that hegemony”.
The US can no longer fairly compete within the 'rules-based order' shaped by none other than ...

Trump Promises Voter ID "Whether Congress Approves Or Not"
The SAVE America Act squeaked through the House this week by five votes.
The final tally was 218-213, with Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas standing as the lone Democrat to cross party lines.
On Friday, Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) gave Republicans their 50th vote late Friday afternoon, telling Maine Wire the revised bill strikes an appropriate balance between election security and voter access.
“The law is clear that in this country only American citizens are eligible to vote in federal elections. In addition, having people provide an ID at the polls, just as they have to do before boarding an airplane, checking into a hotel, or buying an alcoholic beverage, is a simple reform that will improve the security of our federal elections and will help give people more confidence in the results,” she told Maine Wire.
“Requiring voters to produce passports or birth certificates on Election Day — as opposed to just a state-i...

Rubio Says US & Europe "Belong Together", Urges Alignment With Trump's Vision For Western Revival
Authored by Tom Ozimek via The Epoch Times,
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio told European leaders on Feb. 14 that Washington is not walking away from the transatlantic alliance—but called for a renewed partnership that aligns with President Donald Trump's push for national revival, tougher border control, and a return to industrial and military strength.
Addressing the annual Munich Security Conference, Rubio sought to reassure governments unsettled by a year of tensions over trade, defense spending, and at times critical U.S. rhetoric toward NATO.
At the same time, he made clear that Washington's commitment would be tied to what he called a broader civilizational renewal—one that calls on Europe to strengthen its own defenses and reassess policies on migration, climate, and economic globalization.
“Under President Trump, the United States of America will once again ...

Iran Regime Change Would Be 'Best Thing', Trump Signals
President Donald Trump continues to signal that he wants to see government overthrow in Iran, having told reporters Friday that regime change in Iran "would be the best thing that could happen" - at a moment he's also confirmed a second carrier group has been dispatched to the region.
Speaking to reporters after visiting troops at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, Trump doubled down just hours after confirming he is sending the second carrier strike group from where it was operating in the Caribbean.
"It seems like that would be the best thing that could happen," Trump said when asked about pushing for the removal of the Ayatollah and the Islamic Republic. "For 47 years, they've been talking and talking and talking."
All of this also comes days after Trump hinted that another round of nuclear talks with Iran could be imminent. Those discussions have so far failed to materialize, and there are reports saying more...
