The Social Security trustees moved up the program's insolvency date by one quarter — and the report names the policies responsible. The same coalition now proposing to 'fix' the program caused the damage it is citing.
The Trump administration refused to publish a multi-year international alcohol study. The findings — showing cancer risk at light-to-moderate drinking levels — would have triggered mandatory updates to federal dietary guidelines. The alcohol industry has been lobbying against exactly that outcome fo
A liability shield for Uber and Lyft was tucked into must-pass transportation legislation — bypassing public debate while thousands of sexual assault survivors are still pursuing civil claims against both companies.
The DOJ's Office of Legal Counsel declared EEOC disparate impact guidelines unconstitutional — a non-binding memo that could still gut the enforcement tool workers have used to challenge discriminatory hiring for fifty years.
Seattle's City Council voted 9-0 to freeze large-scale AI data center construction — a unanimous rebuke from the city that built the tech industry, driven by 98,000 residents and a coalition with plans far beyond a one-year pause.
A former David Cameron strategist turned Fox News host is now the Republican nominee for California governor. His career is not a series of contradictions — it's a map of how the transatlantic right radicalized.
Somali referee Omar Artan was denied entry to the United States. He is an accredited FIFA official. The 2026 World Cup starts in a year, and FIFA has said nothing.
When the U.S. embassy in London formally objected to Britain's proposed under-16 social media ban, it was not acting as a neutral diplomatic observer. It was protecting the revenue models of American tech companies — using diplomatic infrastructure to do what lobbyists do.
A proposal to permanently integrate U.S. and Israeli AI and autonomous weapons development isn't just a policy choice — it's institutional architecture designed to make future course-correction nearly impossible, embedded in defense budget language where it can pass without a public debate about whe
Forward Majority is spending $30 million on two dozen state legislative races this cycle — betting that eight obscure statehouse contests will determine who draws the congressional maps that shape House control through 2032. The real 2026 election is the one most voters aren't watching.
The White House is floating a government equity stake in AI giants like OpenAI and Anthropic. The companies lobbying for it are the same ones the government is supposed to regulate — and a shareholder has reasons a regulator should not have.
Families of Delaney Hall detainees describe a facility designed for invisibility — where injuries go unacknowledged, phone calls go dead, and a hunger strike is the only signal that reaches the outside world.
New York's legislature just passed the first state-level moratorium on hyperscale datacenter construction. Governor Hochul will decide if it becomes law — and whether democratic governments still have the power to say no to Big Tech's energy demands.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau deleted at least 2,200 webpages last month — consumer advisories, enforcement records, and congressional testimony dating to 2010. The deletion is not digital housekeeping. It is the erasure of an institutional record that the financial industry spent fifteen
Sen. Bill Cassidy, a physician, publicly blamed RFK Jr. for the resurgence of measles and whooping cough. It is the clearest Republican accountability for a public health failure that was entirely predictable — and one senator's X post is not the same thing as a consequence.
Eighty-six percent of voters in Monterey Park, California approved an outright ban on data centers — the first voter-passed prohibition in U.S. history. The AI infrastructure industry built its expansion on the assumption that communities had no real power to refuse. That assumption just failed its
