The only reason Republicans have a reputation as "fiscal hawks" is that the press refuses to tell the public basic facts about what they do when they are in office.

this is a sith lightsaber, from the war. I keep it on a shelf right next to my stormtrooper armor and imperial officer’s uniform. I’ve even got a verified chunk of the death star from yavin. I’m just a collector. I just think the history is interesting. no, I don’t have any rebel stuff

So the suspected republican assassin in the murder of a state legislator here in Minnesota and the attempted murder of another ran his own private security firm, and multiple members of his family were police. Someday people will accept that what those of us on the academic side are saying is true

I think journalists, policymakers and good govt types are struggling to understand DOGE because their mental model is that it is a government reform commission, operating like previous ones. Maybe. But it might be better to start thinking about it as a hostile takeover of the govt by oligarchs.

If we stop calling these “grants” and start calling them “contracts,” it’s clearer to people why this is such an abuse of power. This wasn’t a bunch of gifts. This was a bunch of binding contracts between researchers and the US govt for specific agreed upon projects.

Trump held up a printed picture of people lifting body bags and said, "These are all white farmers that are being buried.” The image actually shows humanitarian workers burying bodies in the city of Goma in Democratic Republic of Congo. They are not white, not farmers, and not South African.

Cannot be said loudly or often enough: the bill House Rs are considering passing tomorrow would rip health insurance and food assistance from millions, leaving the poorest households worse off - to partially pay for tax cuts that most help the richest - while increasing the deficit by trillions.

Am I the last to know? The Qatar jet offered to Trump turns out to be an item unsuccessfully for sale since 2020. The "gift" is not only a Trump grift, but also an attempted scam on the US taxpayer, who will assume costs the owners no longer wish to pay. onemileatatime.com/qatari-royal...
