Worth reminding everyone that the current highest ranking Democrat in America openly admits he bases his decisions on what he thinks an imaginary person would want and today he and most of his allies are struggling to understand how somebody like Mamdani won by talking to voters who actually exist

I think Democratic politicians will have to accept that Big Money's fanaticism means it's impossible to work with them on anything. Your only choice is between serving their interests without deviation or being their enemy

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

LA28 announces an official air taxi sponsor for 2028 which it's proposing as a way to avoid traffic — during the games they claimed would champion public transit. Keep in mind as you see stories about this "innovation" that this technology *does not exist* and does not have full approval to fly

kids cheat at school because it's sold to them as a credentialing exercise necessary to get a job, and because most of the role models and adults in their life do not value education except in those terms
