"Led by Rep. Matt Gaetz and other far-right members of the House GOP, Republican lawmakers are intensifying their push to establish new work requirements for millions of people who receive Medicaid and federal nutrition assistance, an effort that progressives slammed as a cruel attack on the poor.

The Washington Post reported Tuesday that Republicans, including House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), have rallied around work requirements as a key demand as they use the ongoing debt ceiling standoff as leverage to pursue steep spending cuts and other policy changes."

UNCOVERED: Why Buying A New Car Is SO EXPENSIVE

"America has suffered stock-market bubbles and housing-market bubbles—but a car bubble? Last month, Tesla/Twitter impresario Elon Musk casually called the recent upheaval in the trillion-dollar-plus auto-loan market “potentially, the biggest financial crisis ever.” Musk overstates the case, or rather confuses it. The country doesn’t have a car-loan crisis, but an overall consumer-debt crisis. Crazy levels of auto lending are just an example he knows well. The broader question is: Can a country addicted to cheap debt adjust to normal interest rates?"

"In 2024, billionaires and corporate executives are preparing to go from using shadowy front groups that influence politics and policy to fielding handpicked candidates on their very own ballot line, which is being secretly purchased outside disclosure rules that have long governed election campaigns.

That may sound like a conspiracy theory, but it is happening right now out in the open. Donors and political operatives at the corporate front group No Labels are actively exploiting a campaign finance loophole to buy themselves direct access to ballots nationwide, in an effort that Democrats warn could swing the upcoming presidential election."

"Elon Musk posted and quickly deleted a private text conversation between him and Matt Taibbi, a former ally the Twitter CEO has turned on amid his war with newsletter platform Substack.

Last week, Musk cracked down on Substack after the platform introduced a “Notes” service that is very similar to Twitter. It was a confounding swing at a service where many of Musk’s allies make their money, including those independent reporters that Musk handpicked to report the “Twitter Files” revelations, including Bari Weiss, Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger."

"A damaging batch of documents leaked from the Pentagon appears to have been initially shared on the video game chat platform Discord in an effort to win an argument about the war in Ukraine, according to open-source intelligence analysts.

The bizarre provenance of the leak may seem unusual but it is far from the first time that a dispute between gamers has sparked an intelligence breach, with the overlapping communities causing problems for military and gaming platforms alike.

The existence of the leaked cache was exposed as documents showing estimated casualties in the Bakhmut theatre of battle began circulating on public social networks last week."

The host of Life, Liberty & Levin on Fox News weighed in on relations between the two countries and said China is itching for a war with the U.S. His remarks came on the third day of Chinese military drills taking place near Taiwan, which is self-governing but belongs to China as far as its communist government is concerned.

“Brazil now is with China,” he told Sean Hannity, alluding to the countries’ economic relationship. “That’s in our own hemisphere. We used to have something called the Monroe Doctrine.”

The vote was met with outcry over its cruelty, as one Senate Republican asked, “Is [children going hungry] the problem of the state of North Dakota?”

This week, 13 of the Republicans who voted to kill the school meals bill voted to increase their own meal reimbursements by nearly 30 percent, as first reported by Inforum."

Evidently the controversial Supreme Court justice has spent the last 20+ years being wined and dined and jetted around the world by two GOP mega-donors. That’s not exactly great on its face, but Thomas had kept these luxury vacations a secret, disobeying a law that requires him to report any “gifts” he receives. To make matters even worse, one of those donors is really into Hitler and Nazi memorabilia."
