http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/15001-making-a-new-economy-getting-cooperative

Ethan Bronner, The New York Times News Service: Fifty years ago, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that those accused of a crime have a constitutional right to a lawyer whether or not they can afford one, but a new study calculates that 80 percent of the legal needs of the poor go unmet.

What Is Modern Monetary Theory, or "MMT"?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/15150-what-is-modern-monetary-theory-or-mmt

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/15124-home-is-where-the-fight-is

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/15148-on-the-news-with-thom-hartmann-detroit-will-now-be-ruled-by-an-unelected-dictator-and-more
In today's On the News segment: Detroit is the only major city in the United States that will now be ruled by an unelected dictator; Obama wants to make a $2 billion investment in our green energy future; people 40 and younger face more financial insecurity than seniors today; and more.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/15151-inside-game-creating-pacs-and-then-spending-their-money
Kim Barker, ProPublica: While many watchdog organizations track how political committees raise money, few look at how the money is ultimately disbursed. While PACs often devote some money to fundraising, most spend the bulk of contributions on efforts clearly aimed at electing specific candidates.
Ted Cruz Was Too Busy Playing With His "Gun" in Sixth Grade to Pay Attention
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/15154-ted-cruz-was-too-busy-playing-with-his-gun-in-sixth-grade-to-pay-attention
The Daily Take, The Thom Hartmann Program: Freshman Tea Party Sen. Ted Cruz had the stupidity - and audacity - to lecture Senior California Sen. Diane Feinstein about the Constitution. We all learned in sixth grade civics, which Ted Cruz apparently missed, that our "rights" come with certain "responsibilities."

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/15152-nafta-at-20-the-new-spin
Manuel Perez-Rocha and Javier Rojo, Foreign Policy in Focus: NAFTA failed to spur meaningful and inclusive economic growth in Mexico, pull Mexicans out of unemployment and underemployment, or reduce poverty. By all accounts, it has done just the opposite.
