So the Epstein vote isn't the only reason Mike Johnson should fear Rep. Yassamin Ansari. More of this, please.

Protest at Tesla dealership in Matthews attracted more than 80 people Thursday. Lots of honks and thumbs up

The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.

This is absolutely chilling. A glimpse of the totalitarian state to come.

I have a new novel coming out this summer, and I may be a little biased but I think the cover is an absolute knockout. The design is by the singular Keith Hayes and the beautiful art is by José David Morales. (ARCS are available if any reviewers or book people would like an early read 😊)

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

After Kristen Welker let National Security Adviser Michael Waltz lie and evade on NBC's "Meet the Press," she wound up her interview by asking him for his Super Bowl pick.
That's how you normalize fascists and tell them you're friendly enough that they can come back later and lie some more.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

A new audit finds the University of North Carolina system failed to monitor Project Kitty Hawk, the nonprofit it created with $97 million in taxpayer money. The result? Lots of unallowable expenses, including the ex-CEO's stay at a Ritz-Carlton. www.theassemblync.com/education/hi...
