I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

For the first time in modern US history, Moody’s has downgraded the United States credit rating from Aaa to Aa1. A direct consequence of economic mismanagement & tariff terrorism by Trump and the GOP, which will lead to higher interest rates on mortgages, credit cards, car loans, and student loans.

This is a really important response to the arrest of Judge Hannah Dugan by Kash Patel's lawless FBI. Good on Representative Clancy.

Although we do not invariably align with Hillary Clinton’s positions, her recent remarks exemplify a level of forthrightness and intellectual integrity rarely found in contemporary discourse—voicing, with unflinching clarity, what many choose to obscure in silence.

When Donald Trump lawlessly went after ordinary Americans, Chief Justice John Roberts didn't care.
But now that Trump is taking aim at Roberts' fellow judges, Roberts suddenly cares.
It's always the same with conservatives, they don't care until something affects them.
