It’s almost as if USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world

A man’s gotta have a code. Trump’s code is that the Saudis are paying him millions to host the golf tournament, so that’s where he is.

I’m proud that my own Cato Institute is among the groups signing a cross-ideological amicus brief in the Perkins Coie case. Our country’s liberty is in dire peril if a would-be strongman can destroy a law firm for having stood up to him personally or the federal government he heads.

The IRS unit that audits ultrawealthy earners has lost 38% of its employees this year.
This will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes — which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163B a year.
