A Texas Congressman Is Quietly Helping Elon Musk Pitch a $760M Plan to Build Tunnels Under Houston to Ease Flooding
For years, experts in Houston have been studying the idea of building massive tunnels to divert floodwaters and save lives and property. Now Elon Musk’s tunneling company wants a piece of the project.

This Stephen Colbert monologue from Monday night, followed by a bit about the MAGA contingent calling for Trump to release the Epstein files, is the reason why Paramount fired Colbert and canceled his show.
That, and the Midterm elections are coming up, and he would continue to go after Trump.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

Closing rural post offices will do the same thing that closing rural schools has done: Empty out rural towns.
Why? To sell off farmland for rock bottom prices to the oligarchs. Water and mineral rights and CAFOs polluting with impunity.

Sometimes I wonder if people take me literally when I refer to Trump—the main subject of my professional research as a journalist and historian for ten years—as a lunatic.
Please take me literally. This is an unwell man who—without $410+ million his dad gave him—would have ended up living in a box.
