A South Carolina law that lets anyone 65 years old and above vote by mail but requires younger people to provide an excuse to cast absentee ballots violates the Constitution’s prohibition on abridging voting rights based on age, the Fourth Circuit ruled. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Age restrictions on mail voting are unconstitutional, Fourth Circuit says in rare 26th Amendment case
A district court will decide the remedy: no-excuse mail voting for all ages, or for no ages.

Trump is putting his fucking signature on American money. No president in U.S. history has done this. Because normal presidents don’t need to BRAND THE FUCKING DOLLAR. Your money. Your country. His ego. This isn’t patriotism. It’s a narcissistic personality disorder with a printing press.

America's roughly 1,100 billionaires (and 1 trillionaire) are collectively worth a record $9.24 trillion. The wealth of the bottom half of the US, roughly 65 million households? $4.3 trillion. It's not radical to tax the rich. It's radical to allow this level of wealth concentration to continue.

There are parts of Brooklyn where the best Jewish style deli food is at halal restaurants owned and operated by Yemeni Muslim immigrants who learned how to make wonderfully authentic brisket, pastrami, and corned beef. It's so perfectly New York and sums up so much of what's great about this city.

Thanks to Trump's tax cuts, 88 corporations — including Coinbase, CVS, and Disney — paid ZERO federal income tax last year. They also spent $852M on political donations and lobbying. Their combined tax savings: over $26 BILLION (a 3,000% ROI!) We must break this corrupt cycle.

LOOK AT THIS BEAUTIFUL UNSEEN IMAGE FROM ARTEMIS II!!!
This photo of a crescent Moon and crescent Earth was taken by an Artemis II astronaut during their lunar flyby on April 6, 2026. This image captures one of the final moments before their loss of signal with Earth as the Orion spacecraft flew around the far side of the Moon, reemerging and regaining contact approximately 40 minutes later. Earth can be seen peeking behind the Moon in the distance. The illuminated regions of the Moon and Earth stand out against the blackness of space, while the rest are swallowed in shadow. Credit: NASA
