SCOOP: Trump admin is paying millions to quickly cover four enormous bronze horses with extra-thick 23.75 karat gold leaf.

I find it strange the things that backbench members of Congress do to humiliate themselves in order to win re-election when it seems that former members are having a much better time.

Ferrari executives knew there would be haters of their first-ever electric car. They might not have expected the critics to come at them so hard.

New from @SenateBudget: as of the end of April, ICE and CBP still have $100 billion left over and completely unused from the “Big Beautiful Bill.”
Congressional Republicans are in the midst of trying to provide another $69 billion to ICE and CBP despite this.

I feel like someone once got a lot of heat for saying "Well, when the President does it, that means that it is not illegal," but I suppose that train has sailed. nytimes.com/2026/05/19/us/tr…

🚨🚨HUGE UPDATE: Senate Democrats forced Republicans to rewrite parts of their ICE and Border Patrol funding bill to add critical protections for children in DHS custody. It’s a win for the rule of law as Democrats continue fighting every provision in this harmful legislation.

Step 1) Create a streetcar on H St. without right-of-way
Step 2) Watch the streetcar fail miserably, as it was often faster to walk
Step 3) Give up on the streetcar
Step 4) Replace the streetcar with what could have been there all along
I'm going to scream

It sucks how this stuff will long outlast him.
“Hains Point, the tip of the peninsula popular with early-morning birdwatchers and weekend barbecuers, would be incorporated into the new course and seemingly inaccessible to anyone not playing golf.” washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/…

The feeling when your cell phone carrier sneakily changes its pricing structure, raises your rates, hopes you don't notice, and then forces you to argue with a chatbot to switch plans just to get back to what you already had but at the old rate. Enshittification personified.
