The Inspector General report found that Hegseth put our troops at risk.

He thinks it “exonerates” him and makes him look good.

This man’s failure and stupidity puts Americans at risk and he would never have gotten near a job this important in any competent administration.

The last time we had a balanced budget was in the 1990s under a Democratic President.

Republicans have no room to talk about wanting to “balance the budget” after they passed the Big Bad Betrayal — selling us out for a tax break for the rich.

This article is 1000% correct. We can’t actually achieve any of these goals without more staff. Friendly reminder that the last time we had this few staff it was 1967. We served 480 claimants per staff then. Now we have to serve 1800 per staff. This is not sustainable or even achievable. Period.

Commentary: Future laws in Illinois could require AI providers not only to warn that outputs may be inaccurate (which some currently do), but also to display concise notices about the risks of excessive use and overreliance on AI and publish environmental labels that estimate energy use.

There is a lack of federal AI regulation to build more safeguards, so states such as Illinois must pass their own bills.

Flexible/remote-first work is effective (and enables diverse teams) if leadership does the work to make it so — build strong team cultures, establish containers for mentorship, and be thoughtful about using IRL team wisely.

Not doing that is a choice.

This is a must read. The most in depth understanding of how corrupt our foreign policy has become. Trump and Witkoff (Rubio totally sidelined) are proposing to sell out Ukraine in exchange for Russian deals for their billionaire crowd.

Not about peace. Just about profit.

My bipartisan IRS MATH Act with Senator Bill Cassidy is now law.

Now, if you mess up your taxes, the IRS has to tell you where you made a mistake and how to fix it.

No more spending a fortune on lawyers or hours to find errors.

That means fewer headaches and more money in your pocket.
