The 98th Academy Awards will take place on March 15, 2026. While it is too late to create a new category for the Awards, there is one gaining recognition due to the actors who have so far qualified for a nomination. The category is for the best performance by a Somali immigrant seeking to pull the wool over the eyes of the American public. Several of these nominees have displayed their talents at press conferences. Let us examine some of these performances: As the noose tightens on the Somali fraudsters who cheated social and child welfare out of billions of dollars, business financial records

Capitol Hill Republicans are nervously chattering amongst themselves about whether Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem could be the first member of President Donald Trump’s second-term Cabinet headed for the exit. They’re looking in the wrong direction: They should be focused on whether they’re headed for the exits, too. The big question facing Republicans in Washington and across the country isn’t who should run DHS, but how they can respond to the obvious questions about how Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol agents are doing their jobs. Coming up with an answer that satisfies voters could decide whether November’s midterm elections allows Trump to continue his transformative agenda

We’re a little over a month into an industry-wide conversation about the future of tech in California, which is largely taking place off social media. At this point, most people know the conversation was triggered by a ballot proposition floated by the state’s largest health care union that seeks to legalize a first-of-its-kind asset seizure targeting (for now) billionaires. Over the last week, I spoke with 21 billionaires about the looming prospect of a wealth tax. We discussed whether they left or are planning to leave California (most of them are), what a wealth tax means for the technology industry, and finally how, if at all, they plan to fight back.
