The Blaze: Horowitz: Welcome to the Uniparty
Republicans consistently fail to push through important budget bills, with each one garnering more support from Democrats no matter which branch the Republicans control. Despite supposedly enacting the greatest spending cuts of all time, the debt ceiling continues to rise, with the latest betrayal being the $4 trillion debt limit suspension passed by the GOP with greater Democrat than Republican support in both chambers. Republicans will never garner 60 votes in the Senate, which means they need to engage in hardball and brinksmanship with Democrats, yet they have consistently given the Democrats what they want, leading to a historic failure in budget bills.

Fox News: Major Alabama bill cutting sales tax on groceries wins final passage
The Alabama Legislature approved a bill to cut grocery sales tax from 4% to 2%. The tax cut bill was passed in the face of soaring food prices and a rare budget surplus. Alabama is one of only three states that tax groceries at the same rate as other purchases.
The legislation would gradually remove half of the state’s 4% sales tax on food by Sept. 1, 2024, provided there is enough revenue growth to offset the loss. Cutting the tax in half would cost the education budget about $300 million annually. Alabama Arise, an advocacy group for low-income families, had lobbied for the removal for years. Executive director Robyn Hyden said reducing the state sales tax on groceries "will provide meaningful help for Alabamians who struggle to make ends meet."

Breitbart: Social Media Censorship Destroying Evidence of War Crimes - Report
Social media platforms using A.I.-powered censorship are erasing graphic footage of war crimes in countries like Syria and Ukraine, according to a BBC report.

But journalists met problems attempting to post “dummy” videos evidencing alleged war crimes by Russian forces in Ukraine, with three of four deleted from Instagram within a minute.

Breitbart: Allstate, Like State Farm, Stops Issuing New Home, Business Insurance in California
Allstate has quietly stopped selling new homeowner and business insurance policies in California since last year, following State Farm's similar decision to cease policy sales this week. Allstate cited protecting current customers, while State Farm was primarily influenced by the increased risk of wildfires and rising building costs in the state, alongside regulator rules on pricing for new policies. California's pricing restrictions, designed to lower insurance prices, could, in fact, cause residents and investors to find it harder to obtain insurance.
