BREAKING: USCP is arresting Enrique Tarrio for swiping his hand at a counterprotester who got in his face.

In addition to Congress being the place that makes the laws, pretty key thing, the constitution explicitly says Congress gets to create the postal system. It’s not left implied that that comes under law making generally. The President has no power to unilaterally abolish it and move it to commerce.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

JUST IN: HNL Lab Medicine will begin subtyping all positive influenza A samples from hospitalized patients to detect H5N1 bird flu.

This is like opposing a joint resolution declaring that the Sun sets in the West America doesn’t just look like an idiot here, we look like goddamn Flat Earthers

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: "Inspectors general are a headache for everyone. You know why? Because they're investigating every agency and they find stuff! Including waste and fraud and abuse! They wouldn't be firing them if they cared about waste, fraud, and abuse."

I have no idea why Weigel & Darcy are making this blatantly false claim about @cbseveningnews.bsky.social. Here’s four in-depth stories on it just from recent days alone.

Senate Republicans adopted a narrower budget proposal focused on defense, border security and energy priorities after a marathon series of votes that stretched into the early hours of Friday.

Reminder: Zelenskyy refused to leave Kyiv as bombs fell. Donold hid in a bunker from protesters with cardboard signs.

Elon Musk is trying to access your personal bank and tax data. The world’s richest man should not and cannot be able to snoop around your personal finances. Period. End of story.

REP. RICH McCORMICK: When you talk about presidential power, I remember having the same discussion with Republicans when Biden was elected TOWN HALL CROWD: *Noooooooooooo!*

Among the many, many hypocrisies of Shapiro as a free speech hero is that he went to Hungary to celebrate a government that bills itself explicitly as "illiberal" and has shut down entire areas of studies and universities.

🚨Texas measles outbreak nears 100 cases, w/16 hospitalizations. Officials suspect it's spilled just across the border to New Mexico. Low vax rates+undetected infections mean it will grow. “This is going to get a lot worse before it gets better” My latest kffhealthnews.org/news/article...
