- Even Tom Cole Is Defending DOGE
If any House Republican was going to resist President Donald Trump’s effort to unilaterally bulldoze the federal government, Representative Tom Cole would be at the top of the list.As the chair of the House Appropriations Committee, Cole is the keeper of Congress’s purse, which the Trump administration has repeatedly seized for itself. But even Cole, now 75 and in his 12th term representing Oklahoma, is just fine with Trump and Elon Musk slashing the government without approval from Congress. When, during negotiations over federal spending this month, Democrats insisted on restraining Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, Cole rejected their demand out of hand. I thought I detected a hint of satisfaction when he recalled his refusal: “I’m sorry, that’s not happening.”Rather than trying to curb DOGE’s authority, Cole has worked behind the scenes to adjust its targets—in at least one case pushing back on cuts that would have hurt his… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.2 weeks ago - How Bad Is the Driver Shortage?
The Trucking Industry’s Driver Shortage Debate For-hire, long-haul, truckload carriers are struggling to hire and retain qualified truck drivers. The American Trucking Associations (ATA) has long described this issue as the “driver shortage.” According to Bob Costello, ATA’s chief economist, this shortage has led to rising driver pay, even in what many describe as the worst freight recession in years. However, not everyone agrees that there is a true driver shortage. Some industry experts argue that the real issue is high driver turnover, not a lack of available workers. Is It Really a Shortage, or Just Turnover? Industry groups such as the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA) challenge the idea of a driver shortage. Todd Spencer, OOIDA’s president, believes the problem is rooted in retention, citing 100% to 150% turnover rates in many trucking companies. “When you actually look at what goes on, the problem is retention,” Spencer… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.2 weeks ago - Trump Gets a Taste of Putin’s TacticsVladimir Putin isn’t going to make this easy for Donald Trump.For weeks, Trump has bragged about his close relationship with his Russian counterpart and declared that Putin wanted to bring a quick end to the war that he, of course, started more than three years ago. Trump’s national-security team worked with Ukraine to come up with a 30-day cease-fire proposal in hopes of persuading Moscow to accept it. And his press secretary declared yesterday that Ukraine and Russia were on the “10th yard line of peace.”But when the two men spoke today, Putin had his own ideas.Putin did agree during the more-than-two-hour call to halt strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, and he pledged to continue negotiations. But that limited deal fell far short of what the White House had forecast in recent days, and it now confronts Trump with a dilemma. In order to secure the peace he has promised,… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.2 weeks ago

When the sign first went up, nobody knew what “Forever 21” was. I remember thinking that it would be a store marketed to retirement-age women who felt young at heart—Forever 21! This was wrong, but not so far off: Do Won Chang, one of its founders, has said he chose the name because 21 is “the most enviable age.” And it is, especially if you are 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, or 20, which are the ages at which I bought most of my clothes there.
