This illustrates how Ds are allowing Rs to control the narrative, and you simply can’t win that way. It’s Don Draper 101 by both sides — if you don’t like what’s being said, change the conversation.

Republicans may lie about what's in their budget bill but the numbers sure don't.

A bar graph. On the left side is a bar showing that Republicans are cutting $930 billion from Medicaid. On the right side is a bar showing that Republicans are giving $910 billion in tax breaks to corporations under their budget bill, paid for by gutting Medicaid.

Republicans expressing concerns about Medicaid cuts in the spending bill is akin to Tony Soprano expressing concerns to Dr. Melfi. No matter what they say, by the end of every episode, they are going to kill somebody.

JD Vance on a peace deal for the war in Ukraine: “The Russians are asking for a certain set of requirements, a certain set of concessions in order to end the conflict. We think they’re asking for too much." Uh. Maybe you and Donald shouldn't have repeatedly done Putin's bidding then.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow

As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy
