Trump just described voting as "the greatest privilege of them all."

We don't call it a privilege here. It's a right.

windows pcs are generally for casual users who mostly use it for web browsing and maybe a little gaming. linux is nearly identical except there's no keyboard. macs are for hardcore experts and professionals who take on the toughest tasks, such as drawing three-dimensional rectangles and squares

ICE agents could be banned from getting public jobs in N.J. for life under new plan The proposed law says ICE agents who served under Trump should never get to be teachers, cops or public employees in New Jersey.

Seems very unlikely to pass, but what an idea

The Atlantic’s essay about measles was gut-wrenching. Some readers feel deceived.

It is my personal editorial position that the term "reported fiction" is bad and not a thing journalists should, generally speaking, embrace.
