Legal challenges from Democratic state attorneys-general and protests against DOGE's actions highlight concerns over transparency and accountability in government reform efforts.

The Imaginative Conservative: Willhem Roepke: The Well-Ordered House
The article critiques the reliance on national economic statistics, such as GNP, as indicators of societal well-being. It argues that while productivity may appear to increase, the quality of life often declines, as evidenced by poorer customer service and the rise of boredom in modern life.
It suggests that focusing solely on aggregate numbers obscures the more nuanced aspects of economic health, such as personal satisfaction and community values. The author calls for a reevaluation of what constitutes a well-ordered society, emphasizing the need for qualitative assessments over quantitative measures.
