The Air Force has been overpaying for basic soap dispensers for its aircraft fleet — to the tune of nearly $150,000 in extra costs, according to the Pentagon’s watchdog agency.

While they claim to fight authoritarianism, their real battle is against the checks and balances that limit their power. For them, separation of powers, Article III, and the First Amendment are affronts to their quest for centralized authority.
Leaks, once a tool for exposing corruption, are now wielded as political weapons — not to uncover wrongdoing but to sow chaos and erode public confidence in the courts. This is not about transparency; it’s about controlling the narrative.

Volkswagen (VW) said Wednesday that it needs to cut costs amid slackening consumer demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and weaker car sales in China.
VW’s profits fell 64% in the third quarter of 2024, driving the company’s share price to its lowest level since October 2010.
