So "Pastor" Locke opportunistically used this obvious lie to get himself a tax-free overseas boondoggle to get some more attention? The money could have gone to the poor, as Jesus instructed "Pastor" Locke, but "Pastor" Locke has other priorities—himself. Glory!

this Pete Hegseth speech is indistinguishable from parody. words fail to describe the absurdity. here he's talking about governors coming to the Pentagon to grovel to him and Trump so they can be rewarded with a new military base

An analysis of University of Minnesota annual payroll data shows the number of employees in the administrative category has grown faster than any other employee group, including faculty, and their share of the total payroll also rose.

Faculty have long alleged ‘administrative bloat’ at the University of Minnesota. We ran the numbers.
The number of administrative employees has grown faster than other groups, though U of M officials say the picture is more nuanced than the numbers suggest.

How did the Democrats lose the messaging war to Trump on the Trump-Russia scandal? I tell that story in a new article for The New Republic that's drawn from my new book, "HOW RUSSIA WON: Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and the Fight for America." Check out the book at HowRussiaWon.com.

How Trump Won the Russia Messaging War—and How the Democrats Lost It
When Robert Mueller found no smoking gun on collusion, Democrats largely turned to other matters. But Trump and his backers never stopped pushing their lies.
