I'll say again: we are oddly selective about the government services about which we will say, they operate at a loss.
We say Amtrak and the post office "lose money" but we never say highways, the court system, the Pentagon, etc lose money

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.
Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

I am begging one, JUST ONE, congressional reporter to follow up with Mike Johnson by asking, "What are the American people to make of a Speaker of the House who tells us daily that he's not aware of what's happening on Capitol Hill and the White House?"

There is no insurrection or sedition without the use of force (ie, Jan 6). Disobeying a lawful order is insubordination, not insurrection of sedition. Disobeying an unlawful order is required under the constitution, particularly for officers.

He summoned Boebert to the Situation Room to pressure her to withdraw her name. Called Mace. Threatened Massie and Greene. Now he knows it will pass and he’s trying to save face. But he also knows it may die in the senate and DOJ intends to cite a new “pending investigation” to block it.

Even the day after a historic wave of victories, some Democrats can't help but act like they've got something to be ashamed of.
Asked about Republican attacks on Mamdani, Dem congresswoman Debbie Dingell replies: "I'm going to focus on the election of Abigail Spanberger, who is clearly a moderate, as is Mikie Sherrill. Both women that had strong military and national intelligence background..."

At this point, anyone—a university, a law firm, a corporation, a Democrat—bending the knee to Trump is doing it because they want to, not because of any political reality.

Please, PLEASE, I am begging you as both a parent and someone who is sick of all this THIS, go vote for your school boards. Even if you don't have kids, that's how these reactionary dipshits got their feet in, that's where the book bans and library cuts start.

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.
