A Republican dark money group blankets Virginia with deceptive mailers ahead of redistricting vote Ads targeting Black voters compare Virginia's redistricting referendum to Jim Crow.

Today is the last day of voting on Virginia's temporary redistricting referendum.

Starting in March, a group that received donations from Peter Thiel mailed ads targeting Black voters that falsely compared the proposal to the Jim Crow era.

speaking as an individual [rather than speaking for iran], it’s impossible to negotiate with an administration run by a proven liar: the negotiators can’t be trusted, because the person for which they are negotiating can’t be trusted.

U.S.–Iran peace talks collapse as ceasefire nears expiration, JD Vance’s trip is suspended, and Trump signals imminent bombing, raising fears of that full blown war will break out yet again. Meanwhile, VA voters head to the polls on redistricting. Catch up on the top stories for April 21, 2026.

Verge headline: Silicon Valley has forgotten what normal people want by Elizabeth Lopatto Illustration of a brain melting in the sun

"In the place of problem-solving technology, companies have jumped on successive bandwagons like NFTs, the metaverse, and LLMs. What these all have in common is that they are not built to really solve a market problem. They are built to make VCs and companies rich."

I have to admit I was already aged out of watching SpongeBob SquarePants when this episode originally aired.

But my younger colleagues told me to watch this clip.

🚨 Talks with Iran have collapsed before they even began.

Iran refuses to negotiate under a U.S. naval blockade and threats, and Trump says he expects bombing to resume once the ceasefire ends.

Iran is warning it will retaliate if attacked—and planned talks in Pakistan appear dead.

This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement. Someone keeps making perfectly-timed bets right before the President speaks. The victims are your pension, your 401(k), and the country I took an oath to defend.

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

There’s something mentally wrong with the President of the United States.

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

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.

Commonwealth Court rules the state constitution includes a fundamental right to abortion • Pennsylvania Capital-Star Susan Frietsche, of the Women’s Law Project, said the Medicaid coverage exclusion was the single largest barrier to abortion access in Pa.

This is a wonderful decision for Pennsylvania! And calling abortion a fundamental right is a satisfying slap in the face to the extremists on the Supreme Court.

can we just blast the tech bros and oligarchs to mars now? please?!?

they can perfect the tech on the way there.

Creating baby geniuses to thwart the AI threat? (Yes, really.) The new wave of Silicon Valley–backed gene-editing startups is straight out of “Brave New World.”
