Reporter: "What do you believe about the use of chemical weapons by Russia in Ukraine?" Trump to Hegseth: "Do you know about this one?" Hegseth: "John [Ratcliffe] might know." Ratcliffe: "You're not going to stand for any violations of international law." Trump: "Right."

I don't mean to sound hysterical but there are some pretty clear historical examples of "force the urban-dwellers to the farms," and none of them are great.

The minutes of the Kerr County Texas Republicans deciding to not install weather warning sirens because the money came from the Biden administration, and to spite blue states, also voted to sit on the money and not send it back to stop Democrats from using it. legacy.co.kerr.tx.us/commcrt/minu...

This is a cover-up. Five Florida lawmakers were blocked from entering Alligator Alcatraz—told it was “unsafe.” But Trump, DeSantis, and Noem toured it last week just fine. So why can’t lawmakers do their legal oversight? And if it’s too dangerous for them, what about the migrants trapped inside?

As someone who employed RNs, majority females, the high cost of childcare was a major cause of staff leaving the field or going part time. Until the US prioritizes families or lowers the cost of living, the birth rate will continue to fall. This is a bipartisan problem. apnews.com/article/pron...

US adults want the government to focus on child care costs, not birth rates, AP-NORC poll finds
A new AP-NORC poll finds most Americans do not want the government to focus on increasing birth rates, despite efforts by the Trump administration to make this a priority.

#ICYMI: I wrote about the AG’s assertion of power to “irrevocably relinquish” claims against tech companies for violating the TikTok ban—and how such “dispensing” of liability was not only repudiated by the Constitution’s drafters, but would doom the separation of powers if it’s more than a one-off:

U.S. inflation rose slightly last month as grocery prices ticked higher
The figures suggest inflation remains stubbornly above the Federal Reserve's 2% target, which makes it less likely that the central bank will cut its key short-term interest rate.
