Censoring the internet does nothing to actually help kids. It only makes them ignorant.

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

China sold 11 million electric vehicles in one year, leaving less room for the oil it used to buy from Venezuela But there is a basic question lurking behind the headlines. Who will actually need that oil in the years ahead? For years, China has been one of Venezuela’s

More than half of the world’s new electric cars are now plugging into Chinese sockets instead of lining up at gas stations. By 2024, it is estimated that China’s EV sales were growing about 40% year on year, even as some Western markets stumbled.

The Mark Kelly Case Is Bigger Than It Seems A decision against the senator could affect all military retirees.

White House Official Doubling as Ethics Czar Sparks Concern Lawmakers and a former head of OGE say an OMB official’s concurrent role leading the Office of Government Ethics will compromise its work.
