The House Ethics Committee found that Matt Gaetz did all of the horrible things previously claimed—sex trafficking minors, prostitution (including of minors), drugs, drunk driving, obstruction, the works. The Florida Bulldog has secured and published the House report this evening.

We took a Minsky-style approach to understanding the refinancing risks across the sector and how they all interact. In other words, we made a TON of T-Charts to show exactly how capital flows. Balance sheets gotta balance!

Eight months after the Department of Government Efficiency effort to shrink the federal workforce began, some agencies are hiring workers back – and spending more money than before.

Cause Burnham can't do anything about it, but Reeves can.

Volgens VVD, BBB en Wilders is solidariteit met Palestijnen ‘onversneden Jodenhaat’, maar over de neonazi’s met hun Hitlergroeten en NSB-vlaggen in Den Haag zwijgen ze. Daarmee maken alle maatregelen van deze regering tegen antisemitisme niet alleen ongeloofwaardig, maar ook fundamenteel racistisch.

Extreemrechtse knokploegen wegzetten als ‘hooligans’ of ‘tuig’, zoals politiek en media doen, betekent de depolitisering van een ideologisch en gevaarlijk fenomeen. Die depolitisering dient één doel: het beschermen van macht, terwijl het gevaar van extreemrechts bewust wordt gebagatelliseerd.
