As we’ve written previously, Democrats have a habit of defending massive systemic fraud by opposing and demagoguing commonsense reforms as harmful “cuts” to programs. One would think government expansionists would have a powerful political incentive to combat waste and fraud within the programs they cherish because such abuses undermine public confidence in said programs — and […]
Kathy Hochul (D-NY) is now trying to walk back the state’s climate policies, proving once again that Democrats pursued a reckless climate policy transition with no clue of what they were actually doing. Hochul wants to use the state budget to alter a 2019 New York climate law that Politico describes as a “nation-leading climate law” that “mandates […]

A legislative staffer or policy analyst in their late 20s earns roughly $58,000 a year, yet median rents in the district routinely exceed $2,300 per month — nearly half their income.

The efficiency and destructiveness of the United States’s military so far in the Iran campaign have been historic, and the bravery and professionalism of the people at the tip of the spear are awe-inspiring.
