There's something about fall that changes the rhythm of your evenings. The sun starts going down earlier, the nights get a little cooler, and suddenly staying in with a good buck and getting to bed in a reasonable hour sounds pretty great. Lately, I've genuinely been looking forward to getting into bed because I've been sleeping on the Thermo Balance Elite from Brooklyn Bedding. It's comfortable, supportive, and designed with temperature regulating materials that help keep you cool and comfortable throughout the night. The more time I've spent sleeping on it, the more I've appreciated just how much thought Brooklyn Bedding puts into making a great mattress. Every mattress is designed and assembled in their Arizona factory, quality materials, and real American craftsmanship.

If you're ready to make your own bedroom a little more inviting this fall, Brooklyn Bedding gives you a 120-night comfort trial to make sure you find the right fit.

In the early days of President Trump's second term, the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, was formed with the goal of reducing bureaucratic bloat and wasteful spending throughout the federal government.

Headed up by Elon Musk, the organization became a lightning rod for controversy among media outlets, with many legacy networks questioning its authority within the hierarchy of the federal government.

John Bickley (2:41)

DOGE ceased operations in July of this year, but now a former member of the organization is publicly telling his story in a new book titled Inside DOGE.

Georgia Howe (2:50)

In this episode, we sit down with the author, Tyler Hassen, to discuss the success, failures, and long-term lessons from the DOGE experiment. I'm Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley with Georgia Howe. This is a weekend edition of Morning Wire.

You know those pieces in your closet that you find yourself reaching for over and over again? The sweater that works with everything, the jeans that you know will always fit, and the bag that you carry everywhere. These are the pieces that earn a permanent place in your wardrobe. That's exactly what Quince does so well. Quince makes elevated everyday essentials using premium materials like Mongolian cashmere, organic cotton, and premium stretch denim. The designs are timeless, thoughtfully crafted, and made to be worn again and again. This week as it was getting colder, I found myself reaching for the organic cotton sweater jacket in navy every day.

It was like I was Goldilocks. This sweater was too thick, this was too thin, but my Quince sweater was just right. Everything at Quince is priced 50 to 80 percent less than similar brands. They work directly with ethical factories and cut out the middlemen. So you're paying for quality, not brand markup. Find the fall pieces you'll reach for most at Quince.
