Ditch tariffs, tax the ultrawealthy above 80% after their first $10M. It worked in the 50s and 60s and gave us the biggest economic boom in world history.

Trump is now eyeing a loyalist to fill the role, because nothing says “trust the data” like hand-picking someone who already agrees with you. Starting next month, expect to see “tons of new jobs” magically appear… and then another… and another. At this rate, we’ll all be employed twice.

Since 1992, the median turnout decline for Georgia's statewide runoffs has been 44%.
Georgians deserve better than high-cost, low-turnout runoffs.
#RankedChoiceVoting is a better, faster, cheaper alternative to runoffs.

Our hearts go out to the incredible folks at NIOSH. On Friday night, most remaining staff were laid off—gutting programs that protect workers, like PPE approvals and firefighter health research.
RFKJ’s HHS tried to downplay it on X, brushing it off as just a “required notice.”
Total BS.

A bad idea:
“If far more civil servants can be summarily dismissed, they’re less likely to risk frank conversations with senior administration officials. The quality of their advice will suffer, and their chief interest will be in preserving their jobs by pleasing their political masters.”
