My Budget reform proposal got rid of the debt ceiling, and instead required regular reporting of Debt-to-GDP ratios. The information is more useful, and it’s not a dangerous “bear trap in the bedroom” ready to go off and cause harm. time.com/article/2026...

Trump now says the Kennedy Center could be deadly. Months ago, it was ‘great.’
The president’s assessment of the Kennedy Center’s physical condition grew increasingly dire after his name went up on the building and revenue began to plunge.

Another fossil fuel con job. Any savings on the front end get eaten up and spat out by excess costs of fuel, which go to — oh, right — Trump’s big corrupt fossil fuel donors. Fuel economy standards have saved drivers hundreds of billions of dollars. www.washingtonpost.com/transportati...

Trump says new fuel economy rules will cut car prices. Analysts are doubtful.
In rolling back fuel efficiency standards, the administration said the average new vehicle price in 2031 should be reduced by $1,300.

Trump’s new AI “accord” has no actual government regulator enforcing it, no penalties for violations, no disclosure requirement and no implementation deadline. The companies choose their own auditors. This isn’t regulation. It’s the consolidation of an unaccountable tech mafia.
