U.S. Sen. Jon Husted took gifts from Ohio's economic development entity. He and the entity won't say what they were or how much they cost.

Sherrod Brown: Data centers really show whose side you’re on. Are you going to do the bidding of those companies from out of state that don’t give a damn about local communities? Or are you going to stand with the public?

Most experts agree: diesel export ban MAY initially lower prices in SOME areas of the US, the south and midwest. But long term would backfire both in our national security (including alliances) and in price. Global Diesel prices would eventually skyrocket as a result and those prices would hit us

ICE was never necessary and is now an extrajudicial vigilante posse who serves at the leisure of an individual who serves not the Constitution but money and entertains (but does not serve) people who sign loyalty oaths. Also, support local journalism.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

From 16,000 to 185 to Zero. The Trump admin claimed as many as 16,000 noncitizens had been registered to vote in Nevada. Then DHS came back and said the number was actually 185. This week, Nevada told the admin every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.

Will Newsom sign the bill? Lawmakers are joining immigrant rights groups in urging Governor Newsom to sign a bill that, if implemented, would ban California police, sheriffs and other law enforcement from taking on second jobs that involve “arresting, detaining, transporting, or deporting” people.

This is an absolute disaster from a national security perspective. Obviously, a lot on F-35s is classified, but a weapons-bay door and a canopy with radar-absorbing material are some of the most sensitive. Hard to describe how bad this is.

Four officers kneeled on someone they pulled out of a vehicle in WA state. One officer without a body cam shot someone in the back in TX. One human in MI is dead because their car hit a tree while being chased. "La migra" is shorthand for immigration authorities, which is longhand for terrorists.

As an American political historian, I can confirm that this Congress has been "almost unmatched in history" in several categories -- sad abdication of its war powers, craven surrender of the power of the purse, weird refusal to conduct meaningful oversight, and an utter failure to pass actual laws.
