NEW @npr.org: When DOGE updated its savings tracker this week with new “receipts,” it quietly deleted errors worth billions, added new errors and still has little verified savings from cancelling contracts — about $2.3 billion (up from ~$2 billion)

More digging:

A GIFFORDS Gun Owner for Safety from Maine shares how confirming Kash Patel to head the FBI will make us all less safe.

An unqualified and unserious candidate like him won’t stop the gun violence crisis. He will only enable it.

Under the veil of supporting people seeking fertility care, the Trump administration is trying to dictate who is able to start a family and how they do it, another step in controlling our bodies, our freedoms, and our way of life.

Corporate greed. Come on folks. We must fix it
Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?
