I'm just so happy for @bencollins.bsky.social. We know so much about the worst of the world because of his reporting. This feels like a spiritual victory for him. If anyone has earned this, it's Ben.

@aexia.bsky.social also just pointed out that our closets on the East Coast were also smaller. So that's another factor.

Where you live is a factor too. Since moving to Seattle, I no longer do this because my wardrobe doesn't need change as much from season to season. But on the East Coast I absolutely did. Lack of formality in dress here might also play a role.

One of the big conservative grievances against Biden was that his administration jawboned Facebook and others into removing COVID-skeptical and election misinfo content, but SCOTUS tossed that case because there was no proof the admin caused censorship.

Here, Bondi and Noem gleefully admitted it.

Given who the Trump Regime wants to target with criminal investigations it's hard to disagree with this.

Playground kid: You're the bad guy!
My kid: No I'm 5.
Kid: I'm 6 so you have to listen to me.
My kid: No thank you. That's silly.

Parenting a defiant kid can be hard but I rarely have to worry that he won't stand up for himself. Which is a nice thing.

Meta threw a party for a right-wing influencer who wants to “save the West” The celebration offers a cocktail-fueled look at the tech behemoth's rightward pivot.

"The decorations included an archway that read 'Seeking Truth to Save The West,' underneath the words 'Presented by Meta' and the company’s logo." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

NEW: We obtained the government’s settlement agreement with Michael Flynn.

As previously reported, DOJ agreed to pay $1.25 million to settle Flynn’s claims that he was wrongfully prosecuted.

But docs suggest a separate settlement could be in the works: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/u.s....

Our team received a report of intermittent app outages at about 11:40pm PDT on April 15, 2026. They worked through the night to mitigate a sophisticated Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack, which intensified throughout the day.

We've done some fun things, like seeing the Mariners on Monday. But we couldn't take the whole week off this week and the kiddos are feral. Gymnastics camp was supposed to wear them out but instead hyped them up!

JD should maybe stop lecturing the Pope on theology and focus his efforts on Pete here instead.

It’s tax day!

In addition to the loss of truly free tax filing with Direct File, many taxpayers are facing additional fees when filing.

Forced upgrades to save your data. Upsells for state filing. Processing fees to actually pay your bill. I paid a $29.30 fee just to file in Nebraska.
