During the continuing resolution fight, the drum the Democrats kept beating was that Republicans wanted to gut Medicare - despite the fact that Joe Biden's administration oversaw years of cuts to Medicare Advantage, the plan increasingly chosen by the nation's seniors. Dems won't characterize cuts to Medicare Advantage as Medicare cuts, though, because what they're really trying to do is eliminate Medicare Advantage as a way to push "Medicare for All." Now that we're headed into the reconciliation process, where finding ways to keep Medicare solvent will be a top issue, at least one lefty is on record admitting that...

After a second negative Daily Mail report about Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff's behavior with women, Emhoff's spokesperson issued a brief statement to Semafor denying one allegation and ignoring another set of allegations.

An exclusive report about the federal government’s machinations to compartmentalize a high-level defector suggests that they are. A lot of people have been wondering why, suddenly, the leftist establishment is embracing the idea that COVID came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (which is tied to the Chinese military) after denying the possibility for so long. The answer may lie in the fact that the Defense Intelligence Agency has for months been debriefing a high-level Chinese Communist Party defector – but withheld the information from other agencies until recently because of fears that those agencies are compromised.

A judge says she’s inclined to dismiss on First Amendment grounds part of a revenge porn lawsuit by former Rep. Katie Hill concerning a reporter who co-authored a story featuring nude photos of Hill with a female campaign staff member and one in which Hill holds a bong appearing to contain marijuana. However, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Yolanda Orozco said she will instead wait until April 8 to hear a motion filed late Tuesday by Hill’s attorneys to reopen discovery and conduct a short deposition of reporter Jennifer Van Laar to determine the identities of the any parties with...
