Jury Finds Live Nation Acts as a Monopoly in a Victory for States www.nytimes.com/2026/04/15/a...

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces. Equals 10 nuclear reactors Reduces heat island, shades cars The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight. Why aren't we doing this?

BALINT: Are you trying to get revenge on states that did not vote for your boss? VOUGHT: What's interesting about your question is Joe Biden-- BALINT: Oh, for goodness' sake!

“By the Left! You think Buck gives a shit? He’s like Tommy Tuberville. So long as his face is on TV and the MAGAs love him, he’s happy as a pig in shit.” --Penn Cage, from the book Southern Man by one of my faves, the late, great Greg Iles 💙📚

(turned the heat off. a little early for NE ohio. cross your fingers for me.)

We invite you to treat yourself to the healing power of watching a rescued baby goat boinging around.

Over the course of her career, #MostCorrupt2026 member Sen. Susan Collins has accepted a breathtaking $8.3 million in corporate PAC donations. She’s repeatedly abandoned Maine families and used her position of power to reward her friends on Wall Street. #MESEN

Sen. Jon Husted represents everything that’s wrong with Washington. He's taken $552,225 from corporate PACs, accepted $116,892 from Epstein co-conspirator Leslie Wexner, and is embroiled in a $60 million bribery scheme—a huge public corruption scandal in Ohio. #MostCorrupt2026 #OHSEN

Reports indicate that Iran has proposed a 10-point plan to end hostilities, featuring the lifting of all U.S. sanctions imposed since the George W. Bush administration. This demand is part of a broader, previously rejected, proposal for permanent ceasefire rather than temp pause. Confirmed by NYT.

deep thoughts

I wonder if there was some sort of reason the Founders routed the war power through Congress rather than the whim of one person. Probably not.

The Generals are gone. The AG is gone. We started a war. Gas is up. Healthcare is up. Prescriptions are up. The rich are richer. The poor are poorer. Protesters have been killed. Service members have been killed. The law is a suggestion. The constitution is a memory. We. Are. Not. Okay.

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

Talk birdy to me 🧡 Say hello to the Andean cock-of-the-rock, a colorful feathered friend native to the Andes' rocky cliffs and tropical forests.

Good one in NYC.

Oh my god, the alt text is a gift. 😹

1. Louisiana prosecutor Hugo Holland has had a career mired in controversy: concealed evidence, alleged racism, false paperwork. He once compared a mentally disabled Black teen to a dog during a death penalty case and told the jury to “get rid of it.” 🧵 from @veritenews.org @propublica.org

Democrats tonight have flipped two legislative seat in Florida, a state Senate district in the Tampa region and the state House district that contains Mar-a-Lago. These were two of the final races on our guide of elections to watch in March: boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...

Trump casts a mail ballot again in Florida even as he calls the method 'cheating'

I appreciate NPR's very factual reporting

Rep Lieu (D-CA) with a brilliant breakdown of the SAVE Act. Trump and MAGA Republicans know their policies are crushing the working class but instead of changing those policies they want to disenfranchise voters. Americans say #NoPayToVoteSAVEAct Democrats need to hold the line.

What will trump do if Democrats regain control of the House (good chance) and the Senate (longshot possibility)?

In case you need something to make you smile today

Breast cancer mortality dropped 58% from 1975 to 2019. Localized, early detected breast cancer has a 99% 5 year survival rate. Modern mammogram tech was developed by NASA for telescopes. Last year, RFK Jr. cancelled 87 research grants on breast cancer. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/u...

This is Fidèle. He is the most photographed dog in the world. He napped on that windowsill over the Groenerei canal in Bruges, Belgium for over a decade. Tour boats paused so visitors could take photos of Fidèle. He passed away in 2016, but not before making literally millions of people smile. 14/10

Al Gore. Hillary Clinton. Kamala Harris. Just think where our country - and the world - would be today if the people who’d won their elections had been allowed to win their elections.

It’s crazy that he is negotiating on behalf of the U.S. at all. He has no government appointment and no one elected him and he has no business being in those meetings even without the grift

It's nice to quilt again after losing my mojo for an extended time. This is what about 8 hrs of work got me. They will eventually become part of a tee shirt quilt i was asked to make. #quiltsky

I have never met anyone who is more adept at tracking every last cent they have than people who live or have lived in poverty it is a skill developed out of necessity and it never leaves you

If you are in line to post a Kristi Noem getting fired joke - STAY IN LINE.

This delivery driver throws treats to all the dogs on his route to see if they can catch. Spoiler alert: some of them definitely cannot. Still 13/10 for all (TT: jezzyvi)

Is a Senator who interferes with Capitol Police to break the bones of a Marine Corps veteran who's staging a protest subject to arrest for battery, or does that somehow fall under the Senator's constitutional privilege?

BREAKING on MS NOW: The House Oversight Committee just voted to subpoena Pam Bondi as part of the panel's Epstein investigation. The vote was 24-19. 5 Republicans voted in favor.

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946. In 2007, the US president was born in 1946. In 2017, the US president was born in 1946. And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

Another overt attempt to gum up the gears of mail-in voting @hcrichardson.bsky.social

this will get you the Nobel for sure....you're a shoo-in, fatboy

I think if I'd gotten away with attempting a coup, suffered no consequences for it, then won an election four years later, got away with executing citizens in the streets and foreigners in boats, and successfully abducted a head of state, I too might think I could just bomb my way to regime change

My gosh, is there anything better than your kid, arms open, asking for just one more hug? As you figure out how to tackle all that feels heavy or overwhelming today, I hope you’ll pour your energy into the little things, too.

1. Until Sunday, it wasn’t clear to me why Savannah Guthrie’s mom was still missing nearly a month after her disappearance. Then came images of the FBI director, Kash Patel, partying with members of the US Olympic hockey team after they won the gold medal. Then it all started to make sense.

I'm calling for a $1,336 refund for every Ohio household. The reckless tariffs ruled illegal by the Supreme Court cost Ohioans $6.5 billion, but Jon Husted supported them at every turn. Ohioans are being crushed by soaring prices and they deserve their money back.

The strangest thing about politics in Ohio is how often the voters speak clearly — and how rarely the politicians listen. The good news is that Ohioans can fix this — permanently — by putting a constitutional amendment back on the ballot in November, 2027. www.toledoblade.com/opinion/lett...
