My kids' daycare is closing (with a month's notice) because of a reduction in federal, DC & private funding. They're closing 4 sites, 3 of them east of the river. Most of their clients are families with great financial needs. A massive blow to affordable, high-quality childcare.

SCOOP: Josh Nass, a lobbyist who worked to secure a pardon from Trump for a client, was arrested Friday & charged with attempted extortion, apparently for trying to collect an additional $500k he was owed by the pardoned client, Joseph Schwartz. nytimes.com/2026/03/14/us/…

The amazing thing about this story is how Bezos seems to think he's the first guy to try using data to fix a newspaper. He clearly missed the 2010's when newspapers discovered that cat videos will always drive more traffic than reporting that serves the civic good.

It shouldn't have taken a court case, public pressure & 4 years to release a report that—whatever your political position—provides data to inform decision-making. We're reviewing it. What we know is that we can't keep designing everything around cars. ggwash.org/view/102681/we…

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

Tillis to Noem: "A 14 month old dog is basically a teenager in dog years. You decided to kill that dog because you hadn't invested the appropriate time and training, and then you have the audacity to go into a book and say it's a leadership lesson about tough choices! ... Those are bad decisions made in the heat of the moment, not unlike what happened in Minneapolis."

After a cancer center insisted my elderly father needed a full body PET scan for which it charged $65,000, I suspect that cancer centers treating people with extremely expensive procedures even though they have a very short life expectancy are responsible for a big chunk of this.

One of my favorite @KFF charts: The 5% of the population who are sickest/most costly account for nearly half of the nation's overall health care spending: #Share%20of%20total%20population%20and%20total%20health%20spending,%20by%20age%20group,%202023" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">healthsystemtracker.org/chart-collecti…

And for all of the talk about tax cuts and growth, the past decade of corporate tax cuts, countless business tax incentives, personal income tax cuts, not to mention right to work, have led to zero net job growth.

This ended so badly for Republicans. Criticize Hillary for a ton of things, but she had no direct connection herself to Jeffrey Epstein and she absolutely steamrolled Nancy Mace here.
POLITICO@politico

Hillary Clinton's deposition grew tense when GOP Rep. Nancy Mace confronted her with an email Howard Lutnick sent inviting Epstein to a fundraiser for Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign. Watch the heated exchange👇

Q: "Do you think that Donald Trump should be deposed by this committee?" Hillary Clinton: "Absolutely…Donald Trump has been held civilly liable for sexual assault by a jury of his peers…That is behavior that fits a pattern if one were looking for a pattern."
