• According to a report from The Washington Post’s Jeremy Barr, Fox News has experienced a “significant ratings drop” since firing their prime-time host Tucker Carlson. Barr writes: “Carlson averaged more than 3 million total viewers per night from April 17-21, what turned out to be his final week in that time slot. But in his absence, the network averaged only 1.65 million viewers per night last week.” You can read the full article here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/media/2023/05/01/fox-news-ratings-drop-tucker-carlson/
• Joe Lancaster of Reason writes about a report compiled by Open the Books, documenting federal agencies spending enormous sums of money on weapons annually. Lancaster says, “[t]he report alleges that since 2006, 103 federal agencies not contained within the Department of Defense (DOD) have collectively ‘spent $3.7 billion on guns, ammunition, and military-style equipment’…Of those 103 agencies, 27 are ‘traditional law enforcement [entities] under the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).’ That leaves 76 agencies—including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)—without a direct law enforcement purview. As the report put it, ‘There are now more federal agents with arrest and firearm authority (200,000) than U.S. Marines (186,000).’” https://reason.com/2023/05/02/why-do-federal-bureaucrats-need-so-much-firepower/
