• Good Times: Black Again Isn’t As Bad As Its Trailer — But It Also Isn’t Good

    There isn’t a show out right now that’s more offensive than Good Times: Black Again — Netflix’s new animated series reboot of the 1970s classic sitcom Good Times — and that’s saying a lot considering Zeus Network is still actively in business and cranking out almost exclusively aggressive and exploitative content, like the reality TV franchise Baddies. After the Good Times reboot trailer dropped, immediate backlash ensued. If the conversation on X (formerly Twitter) was any indication, most...

  • GOP lawmaker: You can’t call ‘for the eradication of Jews and think everything is going to be just okay’

  • Letter: Don’t believe the lies, Trump is a criminal

    Perhaps the author of a recent letter understands how Donald Trump’s attorney general, Bill Barr, put his finger on the scales of justice numerous times and that Trump has promised to do so if reelected, since he believes that’s what presidents do (“Biden is a dictator using agencies to ruin Trump,” Star-Advertiser, April 16). Of course, he laughingly denies Trump ever did it. See the Mueller report or Michael Cohen or Geoffrey Berman as proof of the fact.

    Why isn’t Trump charged in the Arizona ‘fake electors’ indictment?

    It’s been another big legal week for Donald Trump. His first criminal trial kicked off in New York, and his Supreme Court immunity hearing just took place in Washington. He also made a legal cameo in Arizona, as an unindicted alleged co-conspirator in a new indictment stemming from efforts to subvert the 2020 presidential election. Major figures in Trump world, such as Rudy Giuliani and Mark Meadows, are charged in the state indictment, along with so-called fake electors. But why isn’t Trump...

  • Kamala Harris Isn’t Letting Trump Dodge on Abortion

    Days after the Arizona Supreme Court ruled that a near-total ban on abortion could be enforced in the state, Kamala Harris went after Trump for his position on abortion in a campaign speech Friday in Tucson. Harris said that the ruling, which granted abortion exceptions only when it was “necessary to save” a woman’s life, “demonstrated […]

  • Trump’s supposed advantage with Latinos isn’t all that it seems

    The Pew Research Center released polling this week that casts serious doubt on recent surveys showing Donald Trump making significant gains among Black and Latino voters. The Pew survey suggested majorities of Latino, Black, and Asian voters continue to largely favor the Democratic Party. The results show very little change among Black and Latino Americans since the early 1990s, while white voters remain almost exactly as aligned with the Republican Party as they were in the early ‘90s. "Not...

    Three years later, Trump isn’t done targeting the Impeachment 10

    Many of Donald Trump’s endorsements are easy to overlook. The former president finds sycophantic allies and publishes cookie-cutter statements of support — occasionally for Republicans who face little opposition. But a few of his endorsements stand out for reasons that aren’t immediately obvious. NBC News reported this week, for example: Revisiting our earlier coverage, when Trump was impeached for his role in the Jan. 6 attack, it resulted in the most bipartisan impeachment vote in American...
