Over 300,000 Americans demanded that Sen. Crapo investigate DOGE's theft of our data.
He is feeling the pressure — but we need a full Congressional investigation, not just a letter.

Federal Conservatives trade journalists for partisan cheerleaders
When Conservatives gather in Calgary at their convention next weekend, right-wing “content creators” will be welcomed as journalists. This publication, not so much.

Worth a read. There's an animated film version also. Gardner was one to watch for in the good old days.
"Nothing was changed, everything was changed, by my having seen the dragon. It's one thing to listen, full of scorn and doubt to poets' versions of time past and visions of time to come; it's another to know, as coldly and simply as my mother knows her pile of bones, what is."
