Billie Eilish is donating $11.5 million from the proceeds from her "Hit Me Hard and Soft" tour to organizations combatting food inequity and combating the climate crisis.

Celebrities should not have to do this but we have a Federal administration majority party right now that is entirely MIA.

BREAKING: A judge just issued a court order in our case requiring the USDA to use contingency funds to keep SNAP going during the ongoing federal government shutdown.

The White House must now let the court know by EOD Monday how they plan to move forward with funding SNAP.

Trump Is Shutting Down the War On Cancer America’s cancer research system, which has helped save millions of lives, is under threat in one of its most productive moments.

“It will take decades to recover from this, if we ever do.” America’s cancer research system, which has helped save millions of lives and is in one of its most productive moments, is under threat by the Trump administration.

When Local Newspapers Die, Corruption Festers Our study also found that digital media sites didn’t make much of a difference.

Local newspapers don’t just inform. They deter abuse of power. A study found that in districts that lost a major daily, federal corruption charges rose 6.9% and cases filed jumped 7.4%. When no one’s watching, accountability fades.

I measured impact by Town Meeting and town election turnout, as well as a ballot full of interested candidates. Stats, sure, but the first sign that a site is really hitting is when your inbox is full of letters to the editor and story requests.

There are now more U.S. troops deployed in Los Angeles than in Iraq and Syria combined.

4,800 Guard and Marines on American streets.
2,500 troops in Iraq.
1,500 in Syria.

Hell of a flex, America—treating your own people like a war zone.

This is ridiculously true. My son ran sound in high school and all that mic-ing people up was apparently very attractive. He was asked to prom as a freshman!

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

Trump’s people are out of control! Arresting a U.S. Senator for asking questions? Outrageous.

This is what happens in dictatorships— not the United States.

Oregon bill would make big tech pay for local news If passed, Oregon would be the first state with a law requiring big tech companies to compensate local news producers.

Oregon legislators consider a proposal to require Google and Facebook to pay for news and to create a civic information consortium that would award grants.

We in the press need to do some real soul-searching over our failure to talk more about Biden’s memory lapses. In the meantime, we’re going to completely ignore Trump’s obvious advanced dementia and even more obvious personality disorder.

I opened up Grafton Common for the first time in more than a year and it’s now upgraded to a point where I can’t post anything.

McGovern: "Now of course you don't want anybody to know what you're doing here. It's because you know this bill betrays the people who voted for you...you are intentionally hiding what you are doing...that's what you guys think is big and beautiful: greed, corruption, & tax breaks for billionaires."

Does Kristi Noem even know what habeas corpus is? The Homeland Security secretary's word salad raised even more questions about the administration's assault on fundamental rights.

“Habeas corpus is the legal principle that requires the government to provide a public reason for detaining and imprisoning people. If not for that protection, the government could simply arrest people, including American citizens, and hold them indefinitely for no reason.”

Chemo week 5: I am more tortured by the showing of “Mob Wives” in the waiting room than I am by the Nurse With Many Needles.

This morning, news broke that Amazon would start displaying how much an item's cost increased because of Trump's tariffs.

Then, Trump threw a fit — and Amazon backed down.

Pathetic.

Local news matters.
It's where ICE raids are happening.
And this one is inhumane (as many are) and wrong

This is what courage looks like. Kudos to the team at 60 Minutes.

Random guy at Market Basket complimented me on my “America Needs Journalists” shirt. Would you believe he’s never been a journalist? He told me to keep fighting the good fight.

A colt named Journalism is the betting favorite in this weekend's Kentucky Derby. If metaphor carries the day, that poor horse is gonna break down and get boltgunned right to hell in front of millions.

Please take a moment out of your day to marvel at the elegance, agility and effortless natural grace of the penguin.

Not to put too fine of a point on this, but if I spent the last few months putting innocent people in concentration camps and the pope died basically three seconds after I met him, I would not continue life apace, I would not immediately clock back in at the fascism factory.

Cake baked by my daughter celebrating the start of chemotherapy.

I did not expect that chemotherapy would require so much drinking during and after — the non-alcoholic, non-caffeinated type. NO CAFFEINE?
