The GOP has finally defunded two things they've talked about defunding for a long time: Planned Parenthood and public broadcasting. It won't balance the budget. But when the doomsday predictions don't come true, hopefully it will embolden leaders to cut more. Baby steps.
Keep it going.
While you were sleeping…the Rescissions Act PASSED the Senate! ✅
It seems that when traffic cameras and similar measures are framed primarily as revenue generators rather than tools for public safety, they lose credibility. As a result, compliance suffers on both fronts.
If you get a ticket from a D.C. traffic camera soon, you may notice a new insert advertising a possible 50% discount for low-income drivers who get food benefits. It's part of a newly launched pilot program to see if repayment rates increase and driving habits change.
The One Big Beautiful Bill changes the fiscal landscape over the next 10 years.
Ed Feulner was an incredible person who meant a lot to me and my professional life. He was always generous with me and perpetually optimistic. He will be missed by many. Add and multiply! Onward, Ed.
The Heritage Foundation released the following statement today from Heritage President Dr. Kevin Roberts and Board of Trustees Chairman Barb Van Andel-Gaby, lauding the legacy and mourning the loss of Heritage Founder Edwin J. Feulner: It is with great sorrow that we announce…
Tariffs are not a new inflation trend. With expectations anchored, good central banks look through them, and when you remove the noise, core inflation is at target. Meanwhile, real GDP is below potential and private sector payroll growth is slowing. Altogether, the data…
The economy is poised to grow. The job now falls to the Fed and Treasury to cut, sell, and coordinate before the window of opportunity closes. | @paulwinfree trib.al/fz7czT9
President Trump's rescissions are a milestone for both fiscal discipline and conservative policy. They deliver long‑sought reforms that have been on the conservative agenda for decades. And already more funds have been rolled back this year than any year since 1981... and a…
At a minimum, the current data supports a neutral policy rate that is 1 or more percentage points lower than the current rate. Meanwhile, technological changes are happening within the economy (e.g., AI) that will increase productivity and supply. This suggests that Fed should…

Waller removes any doubt: He'll vote for a July cut. The opening line of the speech gets to the point: My purpose this evening is to explain why I believe that the FOMC should reduce our policy rate by 25 basis points at our next meeting. federalreserve.gov/newsevents/spe…
This is good govt, using tech to identify a problem 1.2m ppl enrolled in multiple state Medicaid programs simultaneously 1.6m ppl enrolled in Medicaid and a subsidized exchange plan simultaneously Another result of Biden’s enroll-at-any cost strategy - which enriched insurers
CMS found 2.8 million Americans enrolled in two or more Medicaid or ACA plans - wasting over $14 Billion in taxpayer funding! This is exactly why we fought for stronger tools in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. cms.gov/newsroom/press…
States are becoming more reliant on federal transfer payments. A huge portion of this is Medicaid. However, during every economic crisis, more programs are created to send money to state governments.
.@POTUS Trump is right. Lower interest rates don't just support economic growth. They also cut the cost of financing our $37 trillion national debt. Here is why a modest Fed rate cut would yield big savings. A 🧵...
