also! in Washington Monthly, wrote abt Sam Moyn's *Gerontocracy in America* which argues that the major problem we face right now is that the edlerly have too much power.
I think this is...a really bad argument. washingtonmonthly.com/2026/06/12/g...
Samuel Moynโs Gerontocracy in America treats old age as the central crisis of modern politics. The framing obscures more than it explains.
When Congress wants to know how a government program is doing, they ask GAO to analyze it.
The Trump admin has been ignoring auditors & refusing to turn over records โ especially if Dems requested the study.
It's yet another example of presidential intransigence.

In a meeting last month, the Government Accountability Office said it was encountering โsignificant access issuesโ with a number of key agencies.

The Lighthouse
They have no shops, no fields, no streets,
No whispering sound of trees,
But always shouting at their feet,
The great voice of the seas.

The UFCโs White House card will be tacky, partisan and probably insufferable. But donโt judge mixed martial arts by the Trump pageantry.

Yay Texas. They are always getting what they voted for. Thanks for screwing everyone. That was so thoughtful.

New data reveals that New World Screwworm, a severely dangerous flesh-eating maggot, is spreading throughout Texas.
This comes months after Ken Paxton supported cutting Screwworm monitoring programs.
Strange things frequently happen in the sport of mixed martial arts. But when the Ultimate Fighting Championshipโs cage door closes this weekend, it will be stranger than most.

YES. WOW!! Thank you, @petebuttigieg.bsky.social advocating for ADDING SEATS to the Supreme Court because term limits don't go far enough. THIS is what will get my vote in 2028. No good law passed will survive this rogue Supreme Court.

Buttigieg: Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that there have to be nine Supreme Court justices. That one doesn't even take a constitutional amendment. It just takes a readiness to set up a court that fits this country.
