Public servants should face the public. So why are federal agents wearing masks to hide their faces?
Check out our mobile billboard driving around Washington, D.C. right now demanding federal agents take their masks off!

How is it that AI companies can be worth billions of dollars and fight over employees by offering 8 and 9 figure salaries, but say they can’t afford to pay for copyrighted content that they continue to steal? Why do we stand for this?

Personally I think it's totally defensible for the head of a meteorology department to say, "you can't work here unless you believe in climate change." That department is going to end up with zero conservatives in it but it's not the department that needs to change!

Finally, the Dems are exercising some of the powers of the minority. Slow it all down!
Sen. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland just took the floor to give Corey a bit of a break. He's asking a 10 minute long question. This is going to last well into the afternoon. I have to say I'm impressed.

Interim AUSA Ed Martin is making DC unsafe. He is misusing the resources of his office by depriving it of the skill and knowledge of experienced prosecutors in fighting crime and corruption.
