Elon Musk’s DOGE cut the federal government’s screwworm monitoring program, which cost $15 million. Now, the Trump administration is preparing to spend $1 billion to combat the screwworm outbreak. Never forget how destructive and downright stupid DOGE was.

Update on where things stand on FISA: this deal is a win. We got the House to back down from an 18 month extension, buying us time to negotiate on real reforms. I'll be fighting like hell for reforms that put your privacy first, and will have more to share soon.

I like how every study that tries to prove AI is being adopted at scale is like “jobs that AI might be able to do a small amount of are sort of affected” and every other study on AI use is “adoption is low” and “it doesn’t really work reliably or in a way with measurable outcomes”

Under guise of their so-called SAVE America Act, Trump & Republicans are trying to rig the midterm elections. If this was really about ensuring all Americans can vote, they would agree to guarantee that all citizens get a free ID. But that’s not their plan.

The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February. A record number of Americans are withdrawing from their 401ks to cover expenses. Americans owe $18.5 trillion in debt — an historic high. Meanwhile, the wealth of America's 935 billionaires soared by $1.5 trillion in 2025. “Golden Age” for whom?

If a member of Congress thinks war with Iran is so great, they should introduce an AUMF, vote for it, and own that decision. But simply allowing the executive to usurp Congress's war powers is a complete abdication of constitutional responsibility. (War with Iran is a bad idea even if authorized.)

We need to pass a House rule or law that requires them to work a certain number of days to get paid. Since Mike Johnson took over these people hardly ever work. When they finally come back after weeks off they work 2 days and he sends them home for 2 more weeks. It’s ridiculous.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept." Astonishing thing for a judge to do.
Philadelphia, September 17, 1787: "Well, Dr. Franklin, what do we have?" "A republic, if you

It is so ORDERED.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
