The Democrat Counterfeit Resolution: A $1.5 Trillion Ransom Note to Taxpayers
Washington, D.C. – Democrats are gambling with a shutdown and misleading the public by calling their $1.5 trillion spending spree a “clean” counter proposal. It is nothing more than a dirty, Counterfeit Resolution that crams in partisan policy and extraneous provisions, while pushing the nation closer to crisis and risking FY26 appropriations progress. The American people deserve to know what is in this partisan grab bag.

Just so I'm clear:
TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal
TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft.
TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism.
Free speech, everyone.

This feels existential for US science:
To get any future medical research funding, an entire university would need to certify that it won't have programs doing DEIA work
(e.g. note-takers for blind students, veteran's support, women's resource groups, etc.)
No institution could *ever* comply.

The Trump administration is assessing ways to persuade women in the U.S. to have more children, as a movement grows on the right to reverse declining birthrates and push conservative family values. Some pitched ideas include cash baby bonuses and menstrual cycle classes. nyti.ms/4jh3UAR

President Donald Trump attended the annual Easter Egg Roll at the White House on Monday. Corporate sponsors, including Amazon and Meta, were solicited for this year’s event with promises of branding opportunities — an arrangement that breaks with precedent.

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

A judge blocked Musk staffers from accessing Social Security data, but of course, they’ve ignored those orders. We warned this was happening: Musk operatives have been marking individuals in the Social Security system as dead in an effort to pressure immigrants to self-deport.

The staffers include Adam Hoffman, Payton Rehling, Jon Koval, and Marko Elez. The question is simple: why does a billionaire’s handpicked team need access to the private records of millions of immigrants? This isn’t about government efficiency. It’s about surveillance, control, and intimidation.

Good time to subscribe to Wired. I used to think of it as a guilty pleasure at the newsstand, a holdover from nerdy youth. But they are doing an excellent job covering key elements of our political reality.
ICYMI, DOGE is knitting together data from the Department of Homeland Security, Social Security Administration, and IRS that could create a surveillance tool of unprecedented scope.
