We texted 1,000 Americans about U.S. strikes in Iran. Here’s what they said. Fifty-two percent of Americans oppose the strikes, and two-thirds say the Trump administration hasn’t clearly explained the goals of the military action.

In Texas, Trump revels in playing kingmaker but has yet to crown a candidate All three leading Republican candidates attended Trump’s rally, β€œApprentice”-style, in a staging befitting of the former reality-television host.

Anthropic is somehow both too dangerous to allow and essential to national security The White House finally found an AI regulation it likes: requiring AI companies to sell it killer robots

"It’s hard for me to think of a single constituency that would be happy about this fiasco, and indeed, DOD’s demands are deeply underwater with every single group polled, including Trump voters." www.theargumentmag.com/p/anthropic-...

Remember, john roberts' logic for weakening the medicaid expansion was that it was "too coercive" to give the states money to pay for medicaid. bsky.app/profile/apne...

Inside Epstein's very own "Oval Office": Power, peacocking, and printer toner. Epstein and his coterie had a self-aggrandizing nickname for a private office inside his Manhattan lair.

Incredible reporting by @jamespwest.bsky.social: tracking mention of Epstein’s operations center, which he and staff called β€œthe Oval Office” through decades of depravity www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Police drug tests are notoriously unreliable. They got this man wrongly charged with trafficking fentanyl. Roughly 30,000 people every year may be getting wrongfully arrested because of unreliable field drug tests, according to one estimate.

ICYMI: I got body cam footage of a guy being wrongly arrested for trafficking fentanyl based on unreliable roadside test kits that police used.

And because of a 20,000-case backlog at the South Carolina state drug lab, it took him a year and a half to clear his name reason.com/2026/02/23/h...
