The Trump-Vance admin deleted records showing if and when DOGE accessed sensitive data. We will continue to shed light on their attempts to operate in secrecy.

An "unspeakable tragedy" in Texas. National reporters need to focus and work on getting "the full, horrifying story."
"Yet as we’ve seen again and again, ramping up this level of paramilitary force—and unleashing it to violently extract longtime residents and business owners from deep within local communities—of necessity creates the tinderbox conditions that make deadly shootings a matter of when, not if. The authors of these conditions are Donald Trump and Stephen Miller.

In Texas, this has now resulted in an unspeakable tragedy. What remains to be seen is whether we’ll ever learn the full, horrifying story."

And poorer quality, especially in rural areas. In Texas most rural communities are against vouchers. But they still vote R to have their pockets picked.

The sheer injustice in Houston is sickening. Lorenzo was just going to work to support his family when his life was stolen by ICE. Seeing his father on his knees, consumed by raw, agonizing grief, is a heartbreaking reminder of the human cost of systemic violence. He deserves justice.

Paxton’s sins, both moral and fiscal, far outweigh Platner’s. Republicans show no remorse. Media is uninterested in his massive corruption. Republicans are comfortable with corruption; this a big problem.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the World Cup. I have loved cheering for the US team. Then that fucker intervened. Yes, the red card was excessive, but I would rather lose because of it than win because Imbecile called FIFA. The joy is gone. Now we’re the bad guys. He destroys everything.

The red card against Balogun was a bad call, but given the apparently corrupt circumstances under which it was suspended, the only ethical choice is for Balogun to voluntarily sit the match out. If he plays there will always be an asterisk not only on his performance, but on that of the whole team's

In Minnesota their property tax is progressive using some pretty wonky policies, but it’s net progressive in the end. Most states attempt a flat tax on property. But all the states that do some form of value capping end up having a mostly regressive property tax.
