Musk says he’s leaving DOGE. Trump says “not really.” What a trainwreck.

200K+ federal jobs slashed. Agencies gutted. Services cut for veterans, seniors & working families.

It’s time to make government work for the people again—not for Musk and Trump.

That's my top priority.

Your WTF of the hour
Trump attorneys’ call into question U.S. citizenship for Native people. They state because Indians “owe ‘immediate allegiance’ to their tribes, they are not ‘subject to the jurisdiction’ of the United States and are not constitutionally entitled to Citizenship.” www.msn.com/en-us/news/o...

In his opening speech, Speaker Mike Johnson just recited a long prayer attributed to Thomas Jefferson.

As @jackjenkins.me and others have pointed out, Jefferson never said any of this: www.monticello.org/research-edu...

A big problem is that Republicans, starting with Trump, already lied about our statistical agencies, with virtually zero push back from the media. Most people think they are already political so won't realize the change when Trump corrupts them.
Former BLS commissioner Erica Groshen on how the policy change to Schedule F that Trump & #Project2025 advocate would destroy the credibility of the federal statistical system.

On Tuesday, the GOP-controlled House and Senate refused to issue me a media credential to report the 2025 session after quietly revising their media policy just weeks earlier.

always bothers me when people say things like “why do we have to act civilized while our opponents break all the rules” — as if building a healthy culture is a punishment and not the goal

3 years on Layton City Planning Commission. This chart is accurate.

This is not a 55% tax hike. It is a fraction of 1% increase in the county’s portion of overall property tax in Davis county. Sensationalist and misleading headline. Still good to debate the merits, just keep in mind that no one is going to see a 55% tax rate increase.

I live in Virginia now and Verizon FIOS really is the only option for decent internet. You’re absolutely right. I still miss Utopia though.

Another example of red states waging economic and administrative war on their own blue cities
Missouri adopted a statewide measure earlier this year that forces Kansas City, and only Kansas City, to spend a large chunk of its budget on policing.

“That takes money away from infrastructure investments, that takes money away from just basic services,” says one local critic.
“A Vote Against Democracy”: Missouri Forces One City to Lock In More Money for Police
Voters approved a statewide measure requiring Kansas City to spend at least 25 percent of its general revenue on police. It’s the only city in the state with no control over how it’s policed.
