Russ Vought is Donald Trump's budget director and the most dangerous person you've never heard of. He helped write Project 2025, and he has spent years arguing that a president should be free to ignore spending laws he doesn't like.

Now he's doing exactly that.

Last night, with no vote and no debate, Trump canceled nearly $1 billion that Congress passed and he had previously signed into law.

The trick is called a "pocket rescission."

The White House sits on money for months, then sends Congress a cancellation request so late in the fiscal year that the funds simply expire on September 30.

Last year they used the same move to wipe out $4.9 billion.

I sit on the House Appropriations Committee. Under the Constitution, Congress decides how taxpayer dollars are spent. Republicans and Democrats negotiated these bills in good faith.

If a president can erase any spending law by running out the clock, the power of the purse means nothing.

I'll keep fighting to restore these funds and close this loophole for good. Congress writes the budget, and it's time more of my Republican colleagues stood up and said so.

What is important is not so much how long you live as whether you live a meaningful life. This doesn’t mean accumulating money and fame, but being of service to your fellow human beings. It means helping others if you can, but even if you can’t do that, at least not harming them.

For Luis Fonsi, the fight against Alzheimer's is not just a campaign; it is a promise to his grandmother Delia. For her, for those who are no longer here, and for the future of our families.

so much about US democracy is having to survive in a world in which we didn't vote for X, or Y, or Z--whether insanely expensive/ineffective medical insurance or the rapid proliferation of AI in our lives; not least, the frustration of having to do everything via a portal, a password, a one-time-only code.... but of all of these, healthcare is probably the worst experience awaiting us all, followed by the (possible) refusal of the insurer to "insure" that pain won't be limited to the body but to the overwhelmed mind.

It doesn’t matter what problem you want to tackle — money in politics stands in the way of solving any of it. The best thing we can do to make Washington work better is:

1. Ban stock trading in Congress
2. Get corporate PACs and dark money out of politics
