Rep. Beatty to Bessent after he refuses to answer a question about affordable housing: "No no. We're not gonna to do that with me. You get to hear my wrath that you refuse to answer a question under your authority, and yet you've talked about the value of housing and you're not releasing the funds."

Movies, TV, and comic books lied to us by making us believe that megalomaniacal billionaires bent on world domination would be at least a little bit cool.

1 in 30 NIH grants were terminated — tossing out years of research for a cure and leaving more than 74,000 patients in limbo. But this is apparently all part of "restoring public trust" in science.

Enough is enough. We need to take back our science, health, and democracy!

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Like Trump with America, he needs to be certain it’s nearly impossible to fix first.
Jeff Bezos doesn’t care about the Washington Post anymore. He should sell it to someone who does.

FOSTER: You agree it's a historic fact that during Republican presidencies without exception manufacturing employment dropped and the dollar got weaker?

BESSENT: I haven't seen the data

FOSTER: I presented it to you in a graph

BESSENT: I can't snap my fingers and create factories

HIMES: You said there were 'bad actors' among credit card companies. Who are they?

BESSENT: I'm not going to name them

HIMES: So you'll tell us they exist but you won't tell us who they are so we can undertake oversight?

BESSENT: I think you have very large investigative committees

"ICE guys are pretty miserable. I don’t think morale is particularly high for them. They’re freezing, they’re getting shouted at. They can’t go anywhere without being tailed by 5 cars. They get out and immediately there's a crowd of 100 people shouting at them, blowing whistles as loud as they can."

Correct.

Re the final line: Whole governments shouldn't be at one man's whim, either.
this whole thing is on Bezos, a perfect example of why billionaires will not save us

for years he supported the Post and then he decided destroying it utterly at the altar of a wannabe dictator better served his personal ambitions, so he did

institutions shouldn’t live or did at one man’s whim
WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington Post says one-third of its staff across all departments, not just the newsroom, is being laid off.

Many Murdoch narratives focus on the story of Fox News and Donald Trump, where the dumpster fire really begins to light up the modern sky. But to understand the family’s empire, we might examine the Britain that Rupert Murdoch ravaged in earlier days. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/G0v4sa
How the Murdoch Family Built an Empire—and Remade the News
Today, the name represents a story of profit and power unlike any other. But tracing the genealogy of Murdoch sleaze requires a long memory.
