Support Los Angeles Times journalists fighting for a fair contract The newsroom staff of the Los Angeles Times, represented by Media Guild of the West (NewsGuild-CWA 39213), has been bargaining a new union contract for more than 18 months. In that time, the company h...

I always get drawn back to Al Gore telling voters that he’d only raise taxes on the top 1% and then after the election a poll showed that something like 20% of voters thought they were in the top 1% and another 20% thought they would be in the next five years. Just a total tragic disconnect.

A tweet from John Fugelsang reads in all caps: "NO FOOD FOR YOU UNTIL THE DEMOCRATS LET US TAKE AWAY YOUR HEALTHCARE" – US House Speaker Mike Johnson.

This perfectly encapsulates what the GOP position is on the shutdown.

Watching ‘The Last Republican’ tonight. Everyone should also watch this not only to support independent media but for democracy and preserving the truth.

Reporting is always going to be a better idea than stenography. Here’s another example.

Miran's problem is that making an utterly incoherent case for rate cuts convinced no-one.

The Salt Lake Tribune, preparing to drop its paywall, launches a free, monthly print newspaper for Southern Utah “We believe that the first thing we have to do is build something that people want.”

Many of you, I know, receive a lot of national news, but care a lot about local. You also hate paywalls.

"They should have — and they already have," he says. "They don't use it for judicial nominees, they don’t need it for budget reconciliation."

Because when you're rigging elections, taking food away from people and brutalizing the populace, you need to be able to subdue the ones who get upset.

Well, brace for the Trump meltdown.

Jeffries: "Trump needs to instruct his employees here in the Capitol -- that would be Johnson and Thune. They work for Trump, not the American people. In fact, Trump is the one who recently said 'I'm the president & the speaker!' Extraordinary stuff. Trump is openly mocking Republican leaders."
