Congress set the national TV station ownership cap at 39% of the country. This deal would exceed that limit. It's illegal.

This would be the #1 chain by revenue buying up #4.

They're betting that FCC Chair Brendan Carr doesn't care so long as they promise to kiss Trump's ring.

Block this deal!

Andrew Cuomo is testing out running for mayor on the platform that people who live in rent-stabilized apartments should have a harder time renewing their lease.
So it turns out that Cuomo's slam at Mamdani's lodgings wasn't just a know-nothing misrepresentation of homelessness, rent control, and rent stabilization, it was also a stealth boosting of the landlord lobby's coming messaging on why rent stabilization should be gutted.
A top executive at the landlord lobby echoes Andrew Cuomo's call to means-test rent-stabilized housing.

It's a look into the kind of messaging the real estate lobby could use to try to undermine Zohran Mamdani's popular call to freeze the rent.

60 years ago today, the Voting Rights Act became law.

Now, we have an administration conducting voter suppression in real time. In Texas, Republicans are trying to gut our democracy by redrawing maps to erase 5 Democratic seats—before a single vote is cast.

I’ve been teaching as an adjunct at Syracuse University since 2019, sometimes several classes a semester. Yesterday I was told they don’t have a class for me to teach this fall, first time in 6 years. If you’re in a position to hire an illustrator/writer/weird little guy, please keep me in mind.

Folks, I assure you the GOP has more than redistricting up their sleeves to control the 2026 election, if they even allow us to have one.

It’s time for Gavin Newsom and JB Pritzker to launch investigations into the 2024 election, and get us forensic data on what really happened.

Listen to one of my faves @kendallyb.bsky.social talk about the bs going on in Texas where the GOP is trying to rig elections by pushing through a new redistricting map. She speaks with Bobby Cole about this. Group of pedophile protectors think they won't get re elected I guess. I hope they don't
