ICE spent $38 billion expanding detention capacity for a mass deportation campaign, then pulled back from the enforcement strategy that would have filled it. Daily detainee numbers have dropped to 58,000, leaving roughly 42,000 beds empty. The money is gone. The oversight isn't coming.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Chris Rabb, backed by the Squad, just won Pennsylvania's bluest House seat despite AIPAC's primary spending. The progressive wing is no longer the insurgency — it's the institution.
Brad Raffensperger's primary defeat completes a five-year project to remove every Georgia Republican who certified the 2020 election — replacing legal obligation with loyalty as the job requirement for election officials.
Trump's move dismayed Senate Republicans, many of whom have served with the Texan for decades.
The Office of Personnel Management wants every federal worker to sign an NDA. The proposal wouldn't stop espionage — it would silence the 2.2 million employees who are the public's last line of sight into how government power is actually used.
Bill Pulte ran a housing agency and gave away money on Twitter. He has no intelligence background. He's been nominated to lead all 18 U.S. intelligence agencies — and even GOP senators are struggling to defend it.
