Conservatives are coming to the defense of The Daily Signal after The Washington Post questioned its journalistic legitimacy for being part of White House press pool coverage. Pool reporting is a responsibility that includes covering day-to-day activities of the president, vice president, and first lady. The Washington Post called Daily Signal correspondent Fred Lucas’ participation […]
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — At least once a year, staffers in one of Texas’ largest election offices scour the web for a relic from a bygone technology era: Zip disks.

Two lawmakers have turned a government waste report into an online imitation of college basketball’s March Madness. Sens. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., and Rand Paul, R-Ky., set up the #SourSixteen Tournament of Waste to highlight what they call some of the worst examples of how government spends taxpayers’ dollars.
