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.

The Supreme Court long relied on careful, time-tested procedures to issue decisions. But secret memos by the justices, obtained by The New York Times, show how the court decided to bypass those procedures and create its modern “shadow docket.” See key takeaways: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

Every once in a while, I like to watch this video clip of Joe Biden comforting a grieving Parkland family to remind myself what compassionate leadership looks like.
This is the stuff I truly miss.

Trump is calling for a record $1.5T defense budget.
Roughly half of this spending will go to private contractors, many of whom routinely price-gouge the government.
Reminder that Don Jr. and Eric Trump are big investors in drone companies looking to obtain defense contracts.
See the problem?

We’re just weeks into Trump’s war and already his family has found a way to cash in.

Jeff Bezos is worth $220 billion.
After building that fortune from overworking and exploiting his own workers, Bezos is now developing a fund to acquire manufacturing companies and automate them.
Why do we always hear about immigrants taking jobs when the oligarchs are actually to blame?

The national debt just hit a record $39 trillion.
Rich Americans used to finance the government by paying taxes.
Now, they finance the government by lending it money and collecting interest payments — profiting as the rest of us pay them back.
It's a big switcheroo you need to understand.
