Time to privatize the US Postal Service, the leak double standard and other commentary


The Senate found “125 news articles containing leaked government information potentially damaging to national security in the first four months of Mr. Trump’s term.” “Hallelujah” that the left and the media “think leaks are a problem,” but until they join with GOP electeds fighting against leaks it’s just one more double standard. We “should consider that an endorsement of this technology.” The fact that “administration officials including several from the intelligence community are willing to hold a conversation on the app” is “testimony to the security of the software,” as was CIA Director John Ratcliffe saying that using Signal is standard at the CIA at a March Senate hearing. The country’s “shockingly expensive and slow infrastructure projects” hinder “delivering what its people need.” One reason “is an overly burdensome environmental review process.” For Democrats, “cheap, reliable, plentiful energy” must “underpin any abundance agenda” but the party “remains committed to rapid decarbonization.” Dems “seem to forget that working-class voters have little interest in an energy transition.” An uncomfortable truth: The abundance agenda “is incompatible with the modern Democratic Party.” The party puts “ideology and special interests ahead of good governance” — and “working-class voters” — which explains why “Democrats will not necessarily be the natural party of abundance that voters actually want.”
