Ever wondered why so many MAGA men kind of look the same? The slim-fit uniform of grindset entrepreneurs and right-wing podcasters can be traced back decades, Derek Guy writes for Businessweek

Just in time for the legacy media to fete the administration in a weekend of parties.

Bondi declares war on the courts: "What has happened to our judiciary is beyond me ... they are deranged ... we are sending a very strong message today ... we will come after you and we will prosecute you. We will find you."

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach. Read more from the funeral: wapo.st/3YdDGqM

BREAKING: The constitutional crisis has arrived. We knew it was coming, just not when.

If you were wondering what Scooby Doo is in French, it's Scoubidou.

President Donald Trump targeted the financial backbone of the Democratic Party in a memo Thursday as part of a major escalation in his ongoing authoritarian effort to use the government to hamstring his political opponents, the White House said. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Happy Easter to all who are celebrating today. This season of renewal invites us all to believe in the triumph of light over darkness, life over death, love over hate.

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

Pope Francis lifted the world as he led the Church with his profound moral voice. As he returns to God, may his call to humility and concern for the least among us continue to resound.

If we’re serious about more efficient government and better everyday life in America - which we all should be - that means actually improving government, not cutting health care for poor people and slashing support for veterans.

I want politics to be about a better everyday life. Here's what that can look like:

He’s so good at this.

Our cover this week.

Donald Trump just issued a presidential directive calling for a federal investigation into ActBlue and threatening to shut it down. ActBlue is the primary platform that powers grassroots donations to Democratic politicians. Republicans are going to 'fix' the game. Goodbye fair elections.

Coconut Shrimp with Turmeric Yogurt is #RecipeOfTheDay! Yes, it involves deep-frying, but it’s done in a small saucepan, so easily manageable, I find www.nigella.com/recipes/coco...

Listening to Pete Buttigieg on Flagrant, and it occurred to me that he gets it while Gavin Newsom sadly doesn’t. You don’t make a podcast then force your Democratic audiences to listen to Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk. You go on manosphere podcasts to have their audiences listen to your ideas.

The indie bookstore around the corner had this sign. So I went inside and bought 2 books from the banned book section. Support local small businesses. Read banned books. Drink your Ovaltine.

I would like to know more about Cardinal Pizzaballa and what his take is on church doctrine: RE: pineapples on a large pie

We don’t agree on much, but I think we can all agree that, if Cardinal Pizzaballa becomes Pope, he should keep his name.

The fact that the next pope might be Pope Pizzaballa is the only thing getting me out of bed in the early afternoon these days

PIZZABALLA???

the fact we might have a Pope Pizzaballa is sending me

Ha! Fox News accidentally fired Pete Hegseth from the Defense Department a bit prematurely on Tuesday morning. Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade introduced Hegseth before their interview today as the “former secretary” of defense before correcting himself. 🤣🤣

The CNN host weighed in on the departure of the top "60 Minutes" producer, who pointed to a lack of journalistic independence as reason for his exit.

Well, 60 Minutes bit the dust. When this is all over, we’ll remember who the collaborators were and who stood up to defend democracy. www.npr.org/2025/04/22/n...

CBS just took a major hit to its journalistic credibility. In a stunning memo, 60 Minutes Executive Producer Bill Owens announced his resignation, saying he could no longer make independent decisions about the show’s content. Why? Pressure from the Trump-aligned right, a bizarre lawsuit over a...

open.substack.com/pub/meidasto... CBS lost Bill Owens from 60 Minutes. The reason? Because he no longer had the independence to produce unbiased news programs free from the influence of Felon47. These networks need to realize that bending the knee will only make it worse. #FightFascism #BlueCrew

60 Minutes Executive Producer, Bill Owens, resigned because he “would not be allowed to make independent decisions” anymore. Bill always made sure that the 60 Minutes stories that could impact many people’s lives and business, were accurate. Here he explains how👇 FIGHTING FAKE NEWS - PART 1

Resistance is NOT futile

Bluesky is collegial and interesting, the way Twitter used to be. Bonus: most people can spell.

Lily’s Scones are #RecipeOfTheDay! I can’t quite say it’s a secret ingredient, but cream of tartar is certainly key to their success, as many of the lovely comments below the recipe attest. Despite the black treacle here, I’ve since changed allegiance to golden syrup www.nigella.com/recipes/lily...

Bad for school kids, bad for farmers, and sure as hell won’t “make America healthy again.”

Pete Hegseth must immediately resign or be removed. His complete disregard for procedure and overall gross incompetence is an ongoing threat to national security.

Pete Hegseth is clearly ill-equipped to handle the role of Secretary of Defense. His repeated failure to follow basic operational security procedures jeopardizes the safety and security of our armed forces. He should resign.

Staffers fleeing. Classified leaks. Elon Musk almost got a top-secret briefing. And Pete Hegseth is texting war plans to his wife and accidentally a journalist. This is national security in Trump’s America.

Pope Francis knew the enemies within: “In every religion there is always a fundamentalist group that does not want to go ahead and lives on bitter memories, on the struggles of the past, looking for more war and also sowing fear." www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news...

Pope Francis called on the world and 1.4 billion Catholics to confront climate change. He brought attention to the issue but it's not clear he changed many minds.

Pope Francis was a visionary leader who dedicated his life to service and justice. He encouraged us to protect our planet, championed a more inclusive church, and cared for all of God’s children — especially the most vulnerable among us. Doug and I join the world in mourning his loss.

Blessed are the Peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Pope Francis. His last day (calling for the end of the genocide in Gaza and condemning the hatred normalized in our society) beautifully encapsulates his legacy.

Thank you, Sen. Van Hollen, for standing up not just for Kilmar Abrego Garcia and his family but for every American who believes in due process. We can't stop speaking out until he is home and this administration is forced to stop its horrific practice of kidnapping people without charge or trial.

Don't let the last words said by Americans before our country completely collapses be "We were just following orders."
