The way to solve the problem of USPS waste Senator Ernst is privatization, which the leader of your party has been bold enough to suggest.
Biden’s multi-billion-dollar EV fleet for @USPS is lost in the mail and yet, they’ve postmarked over $1 billion for more orders. The rescissions package is a great start, but I am fighting to make DOGE a lifestyle in Washington and stamp out waste like this on a regular basis.

Now that PBS, NPR and USAID are defunded, what are we defunding next?.

The great majority of state/local corruption is prosecuted by federal authorities. But why? I argue that it's time for the states to step up to the plate and crack down on their own bribery and government theft problems.

New Hampshire is not only the freest of the 50 states, according to Cato, but it is also the lowest-corruption place in America, according to new calculations.

We look at public corruption rates across federal judicial districts. The most corrupt place in America is rather obvious, but some of the other places in the top 10 were surprises.

If you search "US population" in google, the results present a variety of information. The second most important fact about our great nation after the name of the capital city? The level of CO2 emissions.

I love stories about outsiders making a breakthrough, the Establishment rejecting it, but then outsiders vindicated in the end. One hundred years ago, Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin discovered what stars are made of.

This says Germany retail is 40 cents/kwh and the US is 18 cents/kwh. Germany is the highest in the table.
While America was busy dismantling its most important clean energy policies last month, Germany reached a big milestone: . The country now has one million balcony rooftop solar systems.

The SC allows federal job cuts. The federal civilian non-postal workforce is only down 57,000 (Jan to June) under Trump, after it rose 131,000 under Biden. The federal workforce has trended up for 25 years: 1,887,000 Jan 2000 to 2,353,000 June 2025.

Congress mandates inefficient and anti-green six-day-a-week postal delivery, despite the huge rise in electronic communications. Meanwhile, the Dutch moved from six- to five-day delivery, and may now move to every second day.

"Cost for Repairs to U.S. Transit Assets Estimated at $140.2 Billion." City politicians say they want say $10b for a new light rail system. It ends up costing say $20b. It's not maintained, breaks down, and taxpayers are hit another $10b for repairs.

The Big Bill passed, which trimmed Medicaid and food stamps. What should we cut next? The Trump admin has targeted HUD rental subsidies and public housing. A new study by Howard Husock examines these programs and makes the case for reform.

Are there any New York City workers you can’t bribe? It's extraordinary the volume and diversity of corruption problems plaguing NYC. New this week: DMV employees allegedly taking bribes for driver’s permits.
