New York Times reporter desperately shoving people over: I think the main point was pants
Could the lasting impact of Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show be the return of bell bottoms? A varsity jacket referenced his own career, and a chain inspired some questions. But the cut of his jeans was the biggest surprise of the night, writes our fashion reporter. nyti.ms/4k5sBkX

I keep thinking about how at the end of Doctor Strangelove, the worlds richest most powerful people nonchalantly settle underground to wait out the total destruction of mankind they just caused.

After 11 years, my time at HuffPost is coming to an end tomorrow.

Last week, I learned HuffPost would be ending its dedicated coverage of energy and climate change.

So, I took a buyout.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
