The shutdown comes as a dispute over the future of InfoWars moves through the courts, with satirical outlet The Onion seeking to take control of the brand that was liquidated in efforts to compensate families of the Sandy Hook school shooting victims, who w ...
Trump says he'll place 25% tariff on autos from the EU, accusing it of not complying with trade deal
Updated 3:11 PM EDT, May 1, 2026 WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said on Friday that he will increase the tariffs charged on cars and trucks from the European Union next week to 25%, a move that could jolt the world economy at a fragile moment. Trump said in a social media post that the EU “is not complying with our fully agreed to Trade Deal,” though he did not flesh out his objections in the post. Asked by reporters on Friday about the increase in import taxes as he departed the W ...
Appeals court blocks FDA rule that allows women to obtain abortion drugs by mail
A federal appeals court temporarily reinstated a nationwide requirement that abortion pills be obtained in person, undermining access to the method of abortion that has only grown more widespread since the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Friday’s ruling from the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals is a major victory in the anti-abortion movement’s war against medication abortion, which now accounts for roughly two-thirds of all abortions in the United States. The ruling stems from a lawsu ...

May 1, 2026 5:31 PM EDT Updated 14 mins ago WASHINGTON, May 1 (Reuters) - The United States is withdrawing 5,000 troops from NATO ally Germany, the Pentagon announced on Friday, as a rift over the Iran war widens between President Donald Trump and Europe.

Louisiana sued for suspending active election, nullifying votes to draft GOP gerrymander
(Democracy Docket) A new lawsuit is challenging Louisiana’s extraordinary decision to suspend congressional primaries already underway — arguing the state is illegally nullifying votes and plunging an active election into chaos following the Supreme Court’s gutting of the Voting Rights Act. Just one day after the Court struck down the state’s congressional map, Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry (R) declared an “emergency” and halted U.S. House primaries — even though absentee ballots had already been cast and early voting was set to begin within days.
Leader Jeffries: After VRA decision, Dems are prepared to redraw congressional maps in NY, Ill., Md., and CO.
(Politico) “All options are on the table as we get through the 2026 election and look to the future,” Jeffries told POLITICO by phone Thursday. “As many governors have already indicated, we will be prepared to respond in states like New York, Illinois and Maryland, as well as in Colorado, in advance of the 2028 election. Republicans have concluded that they need to cheat to win, and the Supreme Court conservatives have decided to aid and abet their scheme. Democrats are going to fight back with every tool available,” Jeffries said.
The nation is back to accomodating the white majority, enabling the disadvantaging of all other race groups
Wendell Phillips, an 1800's abolitionist, observed that, “Governments exist to protect the rights of minorities. The loved and the rich need no protection: they have many friends and few enemies.” With the backdrop of tyranny expressed in this decision by Justice Roberts - the conservative justice effectively establishing a "colorblind" principle prohibiting any solutions that include any legislative advantaging of black Americans even when addressing proven racial discrimination in voting - we're, once again, left with a system of government and elections which only accommodates white Americans.
Congressional Progressive Caucus unveils midterm agenda
(The Hill) The Congressional Progressive Caucus on Wednesday unveiled their new agenda ahead of the midterm elections to demonstrate a path for how the Democratic Party can tackle cost of living issues facing millions of Americans. The caucus dubbed their plan the “New Affordability Agenda,” a legislative package that would focus on making costs behind common kitchen table issues more affordable. The bills “would also ban companies from using personal data and AI to set prices, guarantee every full time worker paid vacation time, increase overtime pay, and abolish Super PACs,” the lawmaking bloc said in a statement.
RFK Jr threatens to withhold millions in funding for hospitals that serve Jell-O
