There is something deeply broken about an economy that creates trillionaires while people get buried under the cost of living and 42 million go hungry. The ultra-rich should realize that my Billionaires Income Tax, aimed at ensuring they pay their fair share, represents the moderate path forward.

Another L for retaliatory prosecution “The federal government has chosen to bring a criminal case over conduct so minor it would be comical — were it not for the unmistakable retaliatory motive behind it and the resulting risk to Mr. Dunn,” the defense motion read.

We must note that all the condemnation of Tucker Carlson platforming Nick Fuentes has been about anti-Semitism and there has been an alarming and revealing silence around his anti-Black racism and white supremacy. When the head of the Heritage Foundation apologized, he only cited anti-Semitism.

The long-running ideological war on libraries, education, and government workers is not separate from AI boosterism. It is the same ideological war on human knowledge and expertise. In some cases AI is being used to directly supercharge this effort:

This is a super important point (raised repeatedly by politics commentators) that a political party can't thrive on just "policy" & "vote for us". Rather, it has to provide an emotional, social, cultural outlet for ppl.

Whether the budget is the same or not is a major factor, obviously, but it's not clear to me that the MYF policy will continue by default in FY26. Do we know anything about that? If there is a CR (very likely), they can do whatever Vought wants them to do, presumably?
