Before Argentina’s 2001 financial collapse, its provinces embraced a dangerous habit: spending locally and sending the bill to the national government. The U.S. Medicaid program turbocharged similar fiscal free-riding during the Biden administration. Using provider taxes and state-directed payments, states maximized their draw from the national treasury while federal taxpayers bore the burden. States first […]

Smith ripped the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) after he received the "Thumbs Down" award from the organization over the weekend, calling the move "highly offensive." “I'm calling them out for it, because it makes no sense whatsoever," he told NewsNation's Chris Cuomo on Monday.

But I think there's a better question: If you're injured inside one, whom do you hold accountable? That question stopped being hypothetical when federal regulators approved Zoox's steering-wheel-free robotaxi for commercial deployment late last month.
