They didn't just see this coming. They planned for it. That is the only conclusion a reasonable person can reach once they look at the full timeline. The same men who are building artificial intelligence tools designed to replace your job, have simultaneously been designing and funding the system that will pay you after you no longer have one. Universal basic income did not arrive in Silicon Valley because tech executives suddenly developed a social conscience. It arrived because they needed a solution for the problem they were already creating.
China ships roughly 78 million pounds of a Parkinson's-linked herbicide to American ports every year, a chemical Beijing has banned within its own borders. Now Congress is moving to shut that pipeline down for good.
The State Department announced that Secretary of State Marco Rubio will travel to the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Bahrain this week to discuss the memorandum of understanding with Iran.
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) filed a revised congressional financial disclosure this year showing assets that have collapsed from as much as $30 million to at most $125,000, a staggering reversal that has drawn renewed scrutiny from Republican lawmakers and raised fresh questions about the accuracy of her earlier filings.
Acting Director of National Intelligence Bill Pulte arrived at ODNI headquarters in suburban Virginia a day ahead of schedule last week and immediately asked staff for a list of every employee in the office so he could assess who to fire, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
Nearly 200,000 Americans flooded the National Mall this weekend. Justin Gaethje bloodied a Georgian champion and ripped the lightweight belt away in front of the most powerful address on earth. Twelve jets screamed overhead. The Zac Brown Band played the anthem. The crowd went absolutely insane. And to no one's surprise... the left is furious.
Starting this fall, Swedish law will ban mobile phones from schools for the entire academic year. This isn't a pilot program. It isn't a suggestion. The country that gave the world Spotify and Ericsson looked at its classrooms, looked at its children, and admitted the obvious: the screens aren't working. Swedish parliament's own education committee chair put it plainly: reading and writing ability has declined significantly, especially among younger students. The solution? Books. Traditional learning. Less screen time.
Medicaid was not built for able-bodied adults in their 30s and 40s who are simply not working. It was built for people who genuinely cannot take care of themselves; the elderly in nursing homes, children from low-income families, pregnant women, the severely disabled. That was the program. Then Obamacare blew the doors open. The Affordable Care Act created a brand new eligibility category: working-age, able-bodied adults earning up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level. Twenty million people were added to Medicaid under that expansion. The program that once protected the most vulnerable in America was converted, in part, into a no-questions-asked entitlement for people who could, in many cases, work their way out of it.
A federal prosecutor went public this weekend with something California does not want you to read. Bill Essayli, First Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, announced that the state is actively blocking a federal audit of its voter rolls. The Department of Justice, led by Harmeet Dhillon, has been trying to obtain California's voter registration records for over a year. The legal authority is clear: the National Voter Registration Act, the Help America Vote Act, and the Civil Rights Act of 1960 all grant the federal government the right to review these records. California sued the DOJ back. A district court dismissed the federal case. The DOJ appealed. It now sits before the Ninth Circuit.
A federal judge on Friday blocked the release of audio recordings tied to Special Counsel Robert Hur's classified documents investigation into former President Joe Biden, granting a temporary three-week injunction while a federal appeals court reviews Biden's legal challenge.
