These international NFL games have been terrible. Boring. I feel bad for the fans getting these dud matchups.

BREAKING: A federal judge blocked the Trump administration's deployment of 200 Oregon National Guard members to Portland over the governor's objections.

Mario Guevara should never have been held in detention for performing his journalistic duty.

Mario’s deportation marks a dark day for the Guevara family and for press freedom.

Food banks had scheduled 94mil(!) pounds of food deliveries through a government program that buys meat, dairy, eggs and produce from American farmers and sends them to help people in need.

It's sad that Microsoft is probably just using AI analysis at this point, because any human will tell you why there was a rash of game pass cancellations today and any AI will tell them that it's likely all the subscribers simply vanished with no explanation.

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that?

Secretary Hegseth is trying to bend the military to his extreme ideology by going after women in combat roles, imposing discriminatory grooming policies, and making it harder for service members to report assaults, bias, and other abuses.

This makes all of us less safe.

Hegseth to upend troops’ access to watchdog, whistleblower complaints

New Pentagon directives will overhaul the channels that allow troops and defense personnel to file whistleblower complaints, report toxic leadership or point out discrimination.

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

If you're wondering why they don't go to court with their high paid lawyers for an easy win, it's because this allows Google to bribe Trump.

All the big players are way over their skis on AI investment and are sure they will need a bailout at some point. It's 2009 but for tech instead of housing

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

The Ezra Klein style of caring about political “strategy” over consistent moral principles and values of your own reminds me of how a lot of pop culture consumers obsessively track box office and chart performance rather than just evaluating based on whether things are good or if they like them
