9/11 was traumatic for all Americans. But the U.S. and other governments panicked, and took their eyes off a lot of other threats for a while. We’re still living with the consequences of that panic. My look back at that day and what it brought: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

A Quarter Century of Panic

After 9/11, the U.S. government was over-focused on fighting terrorism, losing sight of other threats. Americans are still living with the consequences.

That I will go out with my family, my friends, I'll do it any way - I don't care if I'm registered or not, I'm going to try to cheat like hell..."

Before you say Donald is "asleep at the wheel," remember that Trump is too bored and incompetent to ever have his hands on the wheel—they are usually on the cash register.

Yes, this is deplorable behavior, but it is typical of Trump. He is a rude, deranged idiot. What I find more disturbing is the woman's colleagues not defending her. They don't have the excuse of being a sociopath with dementia to explain away their inability to do the right thing.

It’s not “raising the payroll tax,” it’s raising the cap. This irresponsible WaPo headline makes it sound like they are talking about raising the payroll tax rate. Which they are not. It also makes it sound like Social Security is about to run out of money. Which It is not.

As Social Security fund runs dry, some Republicans say it's time to raise taxes
Raising the payroll tax is gaining traction as a fix — even in the anti-tax GOP — to fend off deep cuts in retirement benefits.

Lewandowski soliciting bribes from foreign governments comes on top of reports than he solicited bribes from DHS contractors open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

Noem's alleged boyfriend/aide Corey Lewandowski was also aggressively shaking down DHS contractors while nominally serving in government as an unpaid appointee. Contractors offered him a retainer, but he declined, wanting a bigger taste. Then he told DHS officials to stop providing them contracts, and their contract success did indeed decline in the following months. Marketing firms were told they were guaranteed a contract, but they just needed to hire a consulting firm who could serve as a pass-through to paying Lewandowski. The consulting firm would get half or more of the contract.
