Volvo electric semi scores another real-world win with Coca-Cola Pepsi may grab headlines with their Tesla tie-in, but arch rival Coca-Cola is quietly building an electric semi truck fleet of its own.

So China & Tesla don’t steal all the headlines, Volvo Trucks (Volvo Group) quietly put 5,000+ electric trucks into real-world deployment, logging 100+ million zero-emission miles over the past five years.

Not under Geely. Not hype. This is happening. EV trucks are scaling everywhere, all at once.

I hope Trump et al are busted✊🔥

I once heard a friend say that he didn't believe a woman should be President because we're too emotional. Name ONE woman who has ever gone on a shooting rampage out of anger.

The world is embracing offshore wind — even as the US retreats Over 9 GW of new offshore wind projects came online last year. The sector is set to grow even more as nations in Europe and Asia seek out domestic clean…

In big win for Democrats, voters approve Virginia redistricting plan, moving battle to court Virginia is now the second Democratic-controlled state to approve a redistricting plan in response to President Donald Trump’s unprecedented mid-decade gerrymanders in other states.

NEW: In a huge win, Virginians approved a plan that will allow Democrats to redraw the state’s congressional map to counter GOP gerrymanders.

The redraw could net four more blue seats in Congress in the midterms.

Litigation seeking to block the measure is ongoing.

When Trump is GONE, all the WH PRESS should be replaced.
They didn't do their job.

They enabled the dysfunction.

Someday, a player will ditch the draft and go back to school It's just a matter of time before the NFL draft produces its own Thornton Melon.

One of these days, an incoming NFL player will pull a Thornton Melon, during or after the draft.

This is your reminder that it's been ten months since the assassination of Melissa Hortman, her husband and her dog, and there hasn't been even a hint of justice for her family, friends or colleagues.

Mayor Mamdani and a group of children hold hands while running through red tape in a hallway.

For too long, bureaucracy kept 7 child care centers across our city empty — spaces that should have been alive with laughter instead collected dust.

We've run through that red tape. This fall, all 7 will open their doors, bringing an additional 240 free 3-K seats & real relief to working families.

Game 2 preview: How to watch Celtics-76ers on Tuesday - The Boston Globe The Celtics have a mostly clean bill of health entering Game 2, and it looks like Philly's Joel Embiid is still sidelined.

Reminder that Celtics-Sixers Game 2 is on Peacock and NBC Sports Network. That *is not* the same as NBC Sports Boston, which no longer has first-round games. NBCSN is available on Xfinity and YouTube TV. Good luck out there in the Streaming Jungle of Greed. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/04/21/s...

There really is no such thing as race. We all came from Africa. We are all of the same stardust. We are all going to live and die on the same planet, a Pale Blue Dot in the vastness of space. We have to work together.
