Washington Post blogger Jennifer Rubin was taken to the woodshed online after labeling the Walter Reed medical center a “public health hazard” and calling to slash its budget following President Donald Trump’s brief stay there. The self-ordained “NeverTrump, pro-democracy” opinionator took calls to ‘defund’ public institutions to another level on Monday, urging Congress to slash Walter Reed’s budget for reasons left unstated – presumably something to do with the president, who was discharged from the medical center later on Monday after spending the weekend there to be treated for Covid-19. “Congress might want to defund Walter Reed. It is a public […]
Illustration by Elizabeth Brockway/The Daily Beast On the one hand, Donald Trump isn’t saying anything he didn’t say in 2016—I’ll respect the results if I win, and so on. On the other, though, there is one thing that’s very different: He’s president now. He wasn’t then. And when a sitting president refuses to commit to the peaceful transfer of power, that’s a flag that’s as red as red gets (and he gets a kick out of it, as the Beast reported). But this column isn’t aimed at Trump. It’s aimed at everyone else, especially this country’s elites, from politics to the […]
The Seattle City Council has voted to overturn Mayor Jenny Durkan’s veto on legislation that would slash millions of dollars from the local police budget, a move cheered by activist groups and reviled by some residents. The council overturned Durkan’s veto by a vote of 7-2, securing exactly the number of votes needed to put the legislation into effect. “In the wake of a racial reckoning, a $300 million budget shortfall, a pandemic, a climate crisis, a homelessness crisis… and a lack of federal leadership, our fundamental duty remains: to balance the City’s budget and meet the needs of Seattle’s most […]
Republican Senator Ben Sasse is at the center of a national online discussion after his ideas to reform the US Senate according to the Founding Fathers’ supposed wishes were critiqued as both undemocratic and simply “weird.” Sasse’s Wall Street Journal opinion piece, published on Tuesday and titled “Make the Senate Great Again,” most notably made the case for repealing the 17th amendment of the constitution. This change would put an end to US senators being elected by statewide popular vote. The Nebraska legislator would like the country to go back to the pre-1912 amendment rule, where state legislatures voted on the […]

Senator Rand Paul’s (R-Kentucky) speech at the Republican National Convention has been butchered by major cable networks, with CNN cutting it altogether and Fox replacing the anti-war part with an interview. Paul, who frequently crossed swords with Donald Trump when both were vying to become a Republican presidential candidate in the 2016 race, admitted during his speech that he did not always agree with the president, but said that Trump’s desire to put an end to “endless wars” far outweighs their differences. “I’m supporting President Trump because he believes as I do, that a strong America cannot fight endless wars, we […]
Over the past few weeks, at least seven members of the Seattle City Council have revealed a commitment to cut police funding by 50% in the wake of anti-police violence and anti-racism protests in the US, calling to defund police departments across the country. The Seattle City Council on Monday passed a spending plan that would reduce funding for the city police department as part of a revised 2020 budget. The plan, approved by a 7-1 vote, included a 14-percent cut in police funding or about $3 million of the department’s earlier approved budget of $400 million, which is far below […]
The number of US forces stationed in Afghanistan will be reduced to less than 5,000 in the coming months, US Defense Secretary Mark Esper said in an interview with Fox News.

LA Mayor Eric Garcetti has warned that residents hosting large home gatherings can expect their water and power utilities to be cut, a sharp escalation of the city’s strict Covid-19 measures amid a series of recent house parties. Starting on Friday, Garcetti said that the city’s Department of Water and Power (DWP) would shut off service to properties where there are “egregious” violations of local health orders, pointing to house parties in the Hollywood Hills and Calabasas in recent weeks, which he said were held in “flagrant” defiance of the law. “While we have already closed all bars and nightclubs, these […]
