The Trump admin is attempting to strip housing support away from American children and families who live with an immigrant family member. We’re opposing. As families struggle to make ends meet in President Trump’s economy, housing stability should be expanded—not reduced.

I genuinely don’t recall reporting like this, focused on angry Dems in Houston or Austin, when this all kicked off in Texas (without any ballot initiative or referendum).

It’s worth noting that the Obama environmental policy that so frightened the chief justice into launching the “shadow docket” was actually so weak that the power sector ended up exceeding the clean energy targets even with the regulation on hold. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

We’ve secured a court order halting the merger of Nexstar/Tegna while our case continues — a critical win. This merger is illegal, plain and simple. The federal govt may have thrown in the towel, but we’ll keep fighting for consumers, for workers, for affordability, and for our local news.

it’s true that overall likes are way down on bluesky over the past year. however, if you look closely at the data, that’s mostly an anomaly resulting from the fact that your posts specifically have gotten worse and are dragging the vibe down.

Bluesky 2: Poster’s Boogaloo

I hope this is driving home to folks that anti-DEI/anti-woke are functioning mostly as a way to make racism more palatable by framing it as a kind of defensive reaction to an imagined unfairness.

“When cities fail to plan for housing, they are really just planning for rising costs, longer commutes, and increased pressure on families struggling to find a place to call home.”

Strange to frame this as a US missile “hit a sports center and school,” seeing as the story itself says that we apparently “killed at least 21 people, including young girls playing volleyball.”

The Nexstar/Tegna merger would mean less consumer choices, fewer journalists covering important local news, and more power for a megacorporation.

“Today on Odd Lots we really do have the *perfect* guest.”

There is a guitar riff on the second song of Twisted Teens’ “Blame The Clown” that is *exactly* the same as another song I like and (1) I can’t figure it out and (2) AI is totally unable to help. If I’d just bought the dang CD of the earlier album, I would not be losing my mind right now.

We’re going to miss a lot of things we took for granted, but maybe none more than non-proliferation.

Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes “I love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization

Trump illegally increased prices for the American people after claiming he was going to lower prices on day one. SCOTUS’s decision is an important win for all Americans paying higher prices, workers who’ve lost their jobs, and businesses big and small that have struggled. More from Bloomberg:

Bonta: Trump has contempt for the rule of law because it boxes him in. It restrains him and constrains him, as it should. While criticizing this decision may be a short-term move for him, it’s probably a long-term problem. These are human beings who have memories.

A business that doesn’t knuckle under to lawless meddling is a business that likely has the integrity to do right by its customers in other unseen ways. The $1.50 hot dog is just a different manifestation of this. fortune.com/2026/02/13/c...

Once again, the Trump Admin is attempting to shirk its obligation to end housing discrimination by rolling back anti-discrimination policies under the Fair Housing Act. We’re opposing. We’ll continue to defend our country’s hard won progress that fosters diverse communities.

California DOJ will launch an investigation into the emergency response during the 2025 Eaton Fire. Our investigation will focus on potential violations of civil rights laws, including whether there was discrimination in the emergency response in West Altadena.
