Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Everyone, write in and demand the tariff info if they want our business. If he fails to respond to our demands cancel your membership (if you still have one). Ready, set, GO!

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

U.S. cyber defenders shaken by Trump's attack on their former boss β€œEvery day feels somehow more bizarre than the last. It is incredibly difficult to focus on our mission,” one current Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency employee said.

The people tasked with keeping the country safe from foreign government hackers and cybercriminal gangs say they feel like they’re under attack from the administration they work under.

"The left went too far" in contemporary U.S. politics is almost always a lie and a very convenient way to rationalize moral failure. For example, "MeToo went too far" replaces "I do not care about sexual violence or its victims and I don't want to have to even feel bad about that"

Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night.

So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

Today is the 93rd birthday of Angelo Torres, born April 14, 1932. The last surviving artist to do work for EC Comics, he is probably best known for his several decades with Mad magazine.

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process.

This is not lawful.

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

β€œWaste, fraud, and abuse”?

Let’s talk about what that really means. A beloved grocery store in Maine is at risk of closing because of a $10 mistake.

We need common senseβ€”not punishment that shuts down community lifelines.

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident.

We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.
