This will fly under the radar but is important. The GAO helps enforce Congress's power of the purse, which Trump's OMB is defying. Trump wants to install one of his OMB loyalists to run it. Once confirmed, the GAO head serves 15 years and Congress can only remove him for cause.

SCOOP: White House wants to install Russ Vought's OMB Deputy Eric Ueland as the head of GAO — the watchdog agency with the power to sue the admin for OMB's actions. You may have heard as Ueland: he's also acting head of OGE and USAID. @EricM_Katz washingtonsun.com/whitehouse…

I'll tell you one thing they won't discover: Noah's wife's name. Because it's never mentioned in the Bible. Because of course it's not. But for the record, it was Tiffany.

Noah’s Ark resting place is reportedly “100% confirmed” after 4,300 years, following the discovery of an astonishing “man-made” structure buried deep underground, per Daily Mail.

Oklahoma City having a Christian mayor 31 years after the bombing is an absolute disgrace and a spit in the face to every victim. Every single Oklahoma City resident should be ashamed.

$4 BILLION. That’s how much the Trump Administration has now spent paying companies to cancel offshore wind projects that would have lowered your electric bill. Yes, you heard that right: they are PAYING to keep more energy off the grid and your bills higher. The latest deal hands a foreign energy company $1.2 billion to abandon offshore wind projects off New York, California, and Louisiana. And we've seen them pull this scam before. They paid a company nearly $1 billion to invest in gas projects, and it turned out the company was already planning to make those investments anyway. Trump got nothing for you in return. He hates wind power so much that he has now spent nearly $4 billion of your money making it disappear. Twelve leases canceled, billions of taxpayer dollars gone, and power for millions of homes wiped away just like that. You’re paying for this twice: once when the government spends your tax dollars to block the cheapest energy available, and again on your electric bill when utilities have no choice but to keep running expensive coal instead. nytimes.com/2026/08/06/clima…

Trump Administration to Pay German Firm $1.2 Billion to Cancel Wind Leases

It was the fifth such deal struck by the administration to get companies to drop offshore wind projects.

Muslims make up 1% of Americans, but 5% of American doctors. If you're going to stereotype us, 'doctor' is five times more accurate than the tropes on TV. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Your stereotypical American Muslim.

If you steal a hotdog, the cops drag you out in handcuffs. When Leo's Coney Island franchise owners stole $515K from workers, they got a nice little court order to eventually pay it back. Wage theft dwarfs all other forms of theft combined while penalties are a slap on the wrist.

He doesn't care anymore. It's just non-stop, in-your-face corruption. The latest? If you pay Trump $100,000 a month, he will give you advance White House announcements on economic and trade policy. An insider trading subscription service. People will go to jail for this.

Republican-dominated Texas is by far the US leader in wind power generation (eia.gov/states/TX/analysis). China, which Trump has repeatedly described as a smart country that doesn't use wind at all, is by far the world leader in wind power generation (globalenergymonitor.org/rese…). xitter.cf/Acyn/status/2082548793…
