Why is Seattle keeping her from cleaning up trash? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Many major American cities struggle with homelessness, and with no single clear or obvious solution, it's unlikely the problem will be solved anytime soon. The issue also has spillover costs. Take, for example, the Evergreen State. "Washington state is experiencing the fifth-highest per-capita rate of unsheltered homelessness in the nation," the Washington Department of Ecology warned in 2020. "On any given night, 10,000 Washington residents are living outside or in places unfit for human habita
As police misuse flock cameras, 2 senators from opposite parties demand more oversight (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It seems that automated license plate readers (ALPRs) are constantly in the news. The roadside cameras—often called "Flock cameras" after Flock Safety, the company that manufactures most of them—capture images of license plates and store them in a database that can then be searched by police. While the technology is not new, it has come under intense scrutiny as numerous police officers across the country have been caught misusing the cameras. Two U.S. senators from opposite sides of the aisle a
Trump reportedly rejected building codes for his White House ballroom (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last year, President Donald Trump bulldozed the East Wing of the White House. In its place, he planned to build a giant formal ballroom that would dwarf the rest of the building.

It turns out that Trump's attitude extends all the way down to the building codes. "In the weeks leading up to his resignation last year

Read excerpt
This week, the House passed the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026, named for the late senator. The Senate passed its own version of the bill in August, and it now heads to President Donald Trump's desk to be signed into law. In a fitting tribute to Graham, the bill would expand the powers of the presidency at the expense of the legislature. The bill imposes sanctions on Russia and Iran, a longtime priority of Graham's. It also directs the president to impose tariffs "of u
Jimmy Kimmel didn't air Talarico interview over fear of FCC 'equal time' threats (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For the second time this year, James Talarico, the Texas Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate, appeared on a late-night talk show only to get bumped from the nightly broadcast. In each case, both the hosts and the network seemingly buckled to pressure from President Donald Trump and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). And just like in that earlier case, it provides a perfect example of why we should abolish the equal time rule. "I'll be interviewing James Talarico tomorrow night und
