  This Meta/Newsmax deal is so humiliating for Meta. You'd have to subpoena me to get me to admit I used a data source like that, and even then I'd file at least one motion to quash. I assume this is actually a performance of pro-fascism fealty for Trump, aka "viewpoint diversity."

  The wealthy pay little in taxes via avoidance schemes because our tax code must be modified via legislation, and Congress can’t move fast enough to keep up. I suspect the solution is to move a subset of the tax code into rules that the IRS can modify with 60 days’ notice.

  95% of my communications from the Democratic Party look like this. I have never in my life signed up to be texted by a campaign or the party, and I spent fruitless months attempting to unsubscribe from these. These are functionally identical to scam texts.

  After being sworn in, anybody testifying before Congress should be asked who won the 2020 election. If they won't say "Biden," then they're dismissed. Why would we want testimony (or the confirmation of) somebody who is unwilling to state this basic fact? RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:njhuquor23vkkeamltaxdsnz/post/3mkd7hism2c22

  Democrats allocated $2 billion to overhaul the nation’s UI infrastructure to steel it for a repeat of 2020. Then, in 2023, Republicans clawed it all back, destroying DOL’s Office of UI Modernization. Our UI infrastructure remains underfunded and underpowered.
