The GOP’s “big beautiful bill” includes a clause giving Donald Trump the ability to revoke the tax-exempt status of any group the Treasury Department says is a terrorism supporter. The bill is in the reconciliation process, meaning it only requires a simple majority in the House and Senate to pass.

Before the Trump administration took office, we revealed Russell Vought’s plan to demonize civil servants and “put them in trauma.” Since then, we've doubled down on our coverage of government agencies and federal policy. If you have information you can share, here's how you can get in touch.

Trump's tariff logic: * If the tariffs are to bring manufacturing back to the USA, they must be implemented without change for years. Which Trump said he was doing. * If the tariffs are a negotiation ploy, they will be short-term and drop soon. Can anyone resolve this conflict?

In a $1.6B lawsuit, Meta is accused of helping incite ethnic cleansing in Ethiopia. If the case succeeds, writes @tekendra-parmar.bsky.social, it could open the door to real accountability for platform-enabled violence worldwide. www.compiler.news/kenya-lawsui...

The Budget should include a massive and historic increase in funding for research. Not only is it needed, but we really should be poaching ever medical and scientific researcher from the US we can. Absolutely perfect timing.

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ? They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses. That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue. The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

Trump backed GOP into a big corner with his “balanced budget” point. The ONLY way House GOP could even think about upholding their “no cuts to Medicaid” swing seat promises and their spending cut mandates is deficit spending and bad math. Now they have to gut Medicaid & hand it to Elon in public.
