Has there ever been a weaker political campaign issue than Mike Minogue’s “gas tax holiday”? His boy Trump’s disastrous war has caused the spike in prices.

Alito and Thomas are corrupt and shameful. They are the legacy of Poppy and Dubya, who were more polite versions of Trump.

I lost my job, my kids have measles, I can’t afford gas, I can’t breathe, and I can’t eat lettuce or strawberries without getting explosive diarrhea. But at least now schools are forbidden from celebrating Black History Month.

CBS and Bari Weiss may have created their own biggest competitor. Reports say journalists fired from 60 Minutes are planning to reunite with former exec. producer Bill Owens working bring on Scott Pelley, and other former correspondents/producers. This is how you do it.

Fox made a legal filing after January 6 saying they were an entertainment channel, not a news channel. Yet, millions of bigoted Americans continue to watch it for “news”.

The U.S. House passed a bill to make daylight saving time permanent, but it faces a fight in the Senate before it can become law. Not everyone is cheering for more evening sun, though. Revisit @erinkeane.bsky.social's 2022 story on why standard time is the better deal.

“The Sorrow and the Pity,” a four-hour documentary from 1969 about Nazi-occupied France, chronicles the way that many ordinary citizens simply lived their lives as if nothing had changed—and the film is more relevant than ever, @dgraham.bsky.social argues.

This is likely the most important article the Times has ever dropped. It verifies what many of us have suspected: the Roberts court is inherently corrupt and a political arm of the Republican Party. I urge everyone to read it (gift article): www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

The Supreme Court handed Trump a narrow 6-3 defeat in in case that obviously should’ve been 9-0 against him. That proves the system is working.
