Ramaswamy spends every day attacking DeWine and Acton for their response to COVID. But it turns out, at the time, he was advocating for the vaccine, made millions of dollars from it, called for mandatory testing, supported shelter in home mandates… 1/

The editorial cartoonist's pen is one of the sharpest tools in journalism, whittling issues down to basics for satire or rage. I'm proud to say that my long-ago colleague, Milt Priggee, is unafraid to shock with a tough point of view.

You'll be shocked to learn that @nytimes.com did not cover this story at all.

🚨BREAKING: A new lawsuit is challenging Louisiana’s decision to suspend congressional primaries already underway — arguing the state is illegally nullifying votes and plunging an active election into chaos following the Supreme Court’s gutting of the VRA. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Here’s the thing. If both racial and partisan gerrymandering is perfectly legal, then you won’t live in a democracy. You live in a country where politicians pick their voters not the other way around. It’s pretty much that simple.

Since Hungary’s election last Sunday, I’ve been soul-searching for any analogy that matches the unbridled joy I witnessed. Nothing comes close. Pure, overwhelming jubilation after 16 long years — in my adoptive home, and the land of my forefathers. 🙏🏼🇭🇺🕊️ 📹 Áron Molnár

After intense lobbying, Trump signed executive orders to fast-track data center construction and weaken state-level AI regulations. AI firms are also pumping huge sums into our elections. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/04/number-go-up/

While death and destruction rained down on Iran during the war’s first month, the world’s 100 biggest oil and gas companies brought in an extra $30 million per HOUR in windfall profits. Yes, $30 million per HOUR. All because of the deadly and reckless decision making of one man.

It says a lot about Republicans that they’ll make draft registration automatic and mandatory, but not voter registration.

400 dead so far, over 1000 injured, dozens and dozens missing. This is one hour into the massacre. I have no idea what the death toll will be in the end. Also, they have announced “another wave” of attacks coming

NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants. Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare. (🎥 Al Jazeera)

Sometimes the Cormorant is black in colour. At other times, brown or with a hint of indigo. If lucky, you will see all of these colours at the same time. Then, there is the structure of the feathers. A cormorant. #UKWildlife #BirdOfTheDay #Feathers #Birds #Photography #ECK #WildlifePhotography
