Rise

Last week brought major developments across global conflict, corporate accountability, public health, and the future of our democracy.

From Donald Trump announcing a temporary ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon to states redrawing House maps ahead of the 2026 midterms, the decisions being made right now will shape both global stability and political power here at home.

We also saw growing scrutiny of corporate influence, including a major ruling against Live Nation and Ticketmaster, alongside debates over public health funding led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. At the same time, rising energy costs and new AI regulations are forcing states to rethink how they balance innovation, climate goals, and community impact.

We broke it all down so you can stay informed on what is happening and why it matters.

Because understanding the moment is how we build power in it.
