Under the legislation, Oregon’s gas tax would rise from 40 cents to 46 cents a gallon. That would make it tied with Maryland for the eighth highest gas tax of any state when factoring in other state taxes and fees, according to figures from the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Vivek Ramaswamy vows Medicaid crackdown after home health fraud report | Fox News:
Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is calling for a sweeping crackdown on his state’s Medicaid program after a report alleged that companies billed millions of taxpayer dollars from vacant offices, including abandoned buildings with piled-up mail, "out to lunch" signs and no visible staff.
"We're going to have to take a deep, hard look at the way the $40-plus billion in state Medicaid dollars are being spent," Ramaswamy told "Saturday in America" host Kayleigh McEnany.

Overzealous AI regulation is a danger to free speech | Blaze Media:
Proposals like the GUARD Act dictate how chatbots respond and intrude on editorial judgment by putting Congress’ thumb on the scale of what is acceptable speech. This means control over who can speak, what can be said, and how ideas are expressed.
Those choices shape the substance of speech and risk reducing a chorus of voices to a single, government-shaped note.

"He did win in a landslide, and we will soon be able to give evidence about that," Crowley said...According to the Washington Times, she offered no further details on the nature of what's being prepared.
That ambiguity will inevitably give critics ammunition, of course.

The Democrat party is facing such a host of seemingly intractable problems -- structural, financial, legal, and ideological -- that it will be close to a miracle if it survives after this year’s midterms.
Being short of funds is a good start.

It's time to stop pretending hospitals are "nonprofits"
These are massive businesses - frequently chains - that pay executives richly and depend on huge government spending and subsidies to survive. - Alex Berenson
The United States now spends over $2 million every year for an average hospital bed — $1.6 trillion in all.
- That’s one key reason the American medical system has fewer beds per capita than many other rich countries. We just cannot afford more beds.
Why do American hospitals cost so much?
- Heavy administrative spending,
- patient lawsuits,
- relentless marketing and advertising,
- high labor costs,
- regular investment in new imaging systems (sometimes necessary, sometimes not),
- construction of shiny new buildings to chase elective surgery patients,
- and, oh yeah, seven- and eight-figure executive salaries — which have recently exploded...

No way, nohow: Plan to turn city-owned water park into Muslim-only zone hits turbulence * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh:
A plan to turn a taxpayer-owned city water park into a Muslim-only zone has failed.
The events that could create a "Muslim only no-go zone" is unconstitutional, explained Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, and if the plans would move forward, he would withhold state grants.
Abbott said, "That's religious discrimination. It's unconstitutional. I signed HB 4211 into law – banning Muslim only no-go zones in Texas."

...Both fact checkers and Tucker will say there’s no proof Qatar paid anything to Tucker. Technically correct…..
It must be pure coincidence that the handler was a Pakistani-American Muslim who invests for the QIA.
