Based on the reference to political doomscrolling, I assume you're in the USA. Consider NPR.org for fact based journalism with objective analysis. They have the highest journalistic standards. I'm encouraged by the far right calling them woke or biased and the far left calling them "mainstream media" (used as an insult) and accusing them of not covering what's "really happening".

Challenger is my first, followed by the collapse of the Soviet Union

 

I was reminded today that Israel has space lasers. Why do they need to buy anyone else's weapons? Shouldn't they be selling their space lasers to the rest of us? /s (I hope that's obvious)

Actually, they did. The framers of the constitution didn't trust voters. There's a lot of indications, they thought voters were idiots. I find it hard to argue they were wrong.

Assuming Congress votes to release everything, wouldn't the president still need to sign it? It seems unlikely Congress could override a veto.
